We would not rate this restaurant extraordinary and are surprised by such rave reviews. It seems a bit too American for those expecting a true taste of Italy. The singer (from San Francisco) was great and sang covers of classic American songs. Somehow it felt that the ratings on this site may have gone to its head..... The service was... more

If you come here to propose, make sure you ask before the food gets served. This is a great setting for the perfect romantic evening. Initimate, a smooth jazz background, subdued lighting, stylish furnishing, discrete and personable service. In short, everything you need to create just the atmosphere to ask the big question. Sadly, the food doesnt match the mood.... more

This restaurant happened to be the highlight of the trip for my girlfriend and me. Not only did we have a terrific experience – I ended up proposing in this restaurant. The Library had been recommended to us by our hotel and we were fortunate enough to get a reservation with only a couple of days notice. Thankfully we ordered... more

Before leaving for our weekend in Rome, my boyfriend had reserved this restaurant for the evening of my birthday (11th October 2008) , having seen it on the Tripadvisor website. We had its position marked on our map, and it still took us ages to find this little restaurant down a tiny little laneway, so I'd advise that you leave... more

We were in Europe for 2 weeks, ate out every night at a number of amazing restaurants, and this was by far our favorite. The ambience was so romantic, there were maybe 5 tables for 2 in the whole restaurant. Everything was candlelit, and there was a live jazz singer singing quietly in the corner. The food was amazing as... more

Having read all of the favourable reviews for this place on Tripadvisor, I decided to book it for my husband's 40th Birthday, so a party of six of us tracked it down ( it is quite hard to find ) and were initially pleasantly suprised at the look of the place. It is very small, intimate, cosy, nicely decorated etc... more

Aug. 2008 - we selected this restaurant because of its top position in the Tripadvisor. Of course, our expectations have been huge. Our first impression was really good - a small, nicely decorated but not too fancy little restaurant. We sat outside - and got annoyed by the busy and noisy street nearby. Certainly not the ambience which you expect... more

The other reviewers are correct this is definitely one of the most romantic restaurants you could wish to find. Finding it is, however, definitely a problem; we hunted around the small side streets off The Piazza Navona for around 40 minutes before a Priest pointed us in the right direction. Once found the restaurant is very small and cosy, lovely... more

Excellent service and staff, very attentive and friendly. No rush on food etc, and happy to talk through the wine list with you. Myself and my fiance went here to celebrate our engagement and were treated to a very good meal, try the pork on mashed potatoes!!! It is very secluded and more expensive than the standard Rome fair, but... more

We decided to splurge one night in Rome as this was the top rated restaurant. The ambiance is top notch. Small, private, quiet, dark, well decorated. The place only has about 15 seats inside and maybe about 10 outside. (These are estimates). The service was excellent but the food was extremely disappointing. My wife and I both ordered pastas and... more
