Lively, friendly trattoria serving Bolognese pasta & meat dishes, plus house wine & dessert.

👍👍 (Visited September’19) I knew it was a good sign when I was the only “non-Italian” speaking customer in this cosy little restaurant, the boss Silvia was busy greeting everyone in Italian, trying to engage with me in broken pieces of English but his warmth and personality permeates through the langua...

👍👍 I went for lunch. The entrance to the restaurant is through the guardhouse - where those who go to do the interviews also pass - you expect a guy from the restaurant who will come to pick you up. It's not easy to figure out who he is but you still see him dressed as a dining room service. You enter...

Dine-in · Kerbside pickup

Antipasti, risotto & Milanese meat & fish dishes, in an intimate room decorated with wine bottles.

😐 I had the meatball sandwich, but It more breading than meat. Now the shredded chicken is good. I don't remember the meatball sandwich tasting like this in Rome with so much breading. The cashier was nice. The guy who fixes the sandwiches kinda had a weird vibe. 🧐

👍👍 My girlfriend and I ate at Ristorante da Kico a few nights ago and it was the best restaurant we have tried in our 8 days in Italy. The truffle ravioli was amazing and the maccheroni was one of the best pasta dishes I have ever tasted. We decided to order a couple of desserts since everything else h...

Sophisticated, long-standing restaurant for upscale Italian dining, in a centuries-old building.

Risotto with saffron, cassoeula pork stew & homemade desserts in a compact, down-to-earth setting.

👍👍 Bella scoperta. Ambiente informale che ricorda le trattorie di un tempo. Menù raffinato, con ricerca di ottime materie prime, quindi non economico. Lo Spaghetto affumicato aglio olio e burrata mi è piaciuto molto, l'aglio si fa sentire! Buone anche le Pesche arrosto con crumble di amaretti. Personal...
