A wonderful visit to a restaurant that I will remember and hopefully return to. Even though it was a busy evening, I was instantly made to feel welcome and was looked after as the evening continued. The food was lovely and the atmosphere was very special, with the live pianist and singer, and lots of diners enjoying the warm spirit. The decor is quite striking and makes this place feel unique too. Very friendly people

Great spot, excellent pasta, staff were lovely and understood the requirements for a coeliac. Pasta and sauce were so good.

The food at this restaurant is delicious and the atmosphere is magical, reminiscent of a blue underwater cave. Live music is also good.

First time in Rome! Love all the seafood options they have! Food was absolutely amazing! One of the staff saw us taking pictures by the pizza and he gave us a little show All the staff was so kind! We recommend the grilled prawns it was delicious!

The food is excellent quality at reasonable prices, we went back 3 times during our stay in Rome! Fantastic service and beautiful decor inside.

The pasta was amazing with pesto ! It taste really good ! The place its one of the best I ever been pretty nice ! The staff are ok :)

The restaurant is beautifully decorated! The food was yummy too. I recommend the linguine with octopus. Prices are really good for the serving size (this was my cheapest dinner in Rome). In addition to the photos, my party also got a beef steak, stilled water and one small beer. Order total was 104,50 euros.
