What a wonderful find! While visiting Rome for a sporting event, I had overheard someone mention the name of this restaurant. When I looked it up online and saw the menu offerings, we decided to give it a try. First, it is the most adorable place! A converted house on the edge of a residential neighborhood with a lovely ambiance inside. Front of the house is a well-stocked bar with high-top tables for those who like a bar eating atmosphere. The back is tables for two and four with real linens (rare these days), quaint table-top lighting (remember those nightclub table lights from the ‘50s and ‘60s?), and small vases with simple dried floral arraignments. The wine and liquor menu is extensive (we don’t drink, but I looked), and the food menu is small but varied, with something for everyone. Part of their menu changes monthly, part is static. We tried things from both.The static offering of Lobster Bisque with a small crab cake floating in the center was amazing! Light, creamy, and flavorful with plenty of lobster throughout. The crab cake was a delicious little addition. Their other regular offering we tried of Fried Calamari with marinara sauce was fairly standard, with nice rings that were not overcooked, as so many places do. We also ordered a monthly special appetizer of Fried Artichoke wrapped in Prosciutto on a bed of sautéed asparagus with a balsamic glaze. Quite tasty and beautifully presented. Our entree specials were Chicken Marsala, served over bucatini pasta (rather than the offered mashed potatoes), and a dish called Miss Jenny, which was the house’s take on Eggplant Parmigiana - panko breaded slices of fried eggplant layered with fresh sautéed spinach and mozzarella, served atop a bed of bucatini with marinara sauce. Both entrees were delicious!Our bill was probably higher than most because we were really hungry and wanted to try lots of dishes.The service was friendly and attentive, and we got to meet the owner as we left - so happy to tell him about our wonderful experience!If you’re passing through Rome, or if you’re local (lucky), visit this lovely restaurant! You won’t regret it!
What a wonderful surprise as we took a chance not knowing anything about the place!Morgan service fantastic, food was exceptional and ambience was just over the top!

My husband and I went to dinner here last night for the first time and were really impressed. Everyone was super welcoming, it has a casual upscale atmosphere. The service was prompt and friendly, the food was incredible and came out fast. We got the bruschetta, Chicken Marsala, and a Pollo Chicken meal I can’t remember the name of as well as the Tiramisu to bring home for dessert. I got a cocktail the Jesse’s Mule- a watermelon/strawberry Moscow mule and it was amazing. We definitely plan to come back.

Absolutely amazing food. Seriously. One of the best places to eat around here and they offer real gourmet dishes. I’m an experienced cook and thus appreciate a great place to eat like this. I’m not easily impressed as I have a more discerning palette and this is one of my top 2 eateries around here! Little pricey but worth it.

Small local business, with a smaller menu that changes constantly. The food was very good and you can tell they really focus on the details and quality. With places like these they're typically smaller (quality control) but I do believe they take reservations and it's definitely worth checking out! Prices were about average to slightly above (salad was extra, no bread included) but the food was definitely worth the price. Service was very good, atmosphere very inviting. Highly recommend the steak tips... and I never loved roasterld carrots so much in my life, how did they make them so good!?? Highly recommend and I'm sort of a food-snob so take that for what it's worth!

Plenty to appreciate with the atmosphere. Love the varying colorful aprons that the wait staff gets to wear. Our server was fantastic and personable. Our food was fantastic. My favorite was the lobster bisque soup. The holiday drink special was so good too- a twist on a margarita. I es skeptical since I like classic margaritas. It was a great surprise.

Food was fresh hot and delicious the Brashetta was unique and incredible.lobster bisque was like glochester home made. Great food great experience. Ya gotta try it...
Everything we had was delicious. This is the second time of eating there. We have tried to go for lunch a couple times and realized they were not open. I had a Punk in Matini, so yummy, then the fried cheese curds which came from a local farm. Also the Chicken Alfredo Royal. Chicken was cooked perfectly, sauce was thick like it is supposed to be and tortellinis where full of flavor. Hubby had Lobster Bisque and ate every bite. Love the little deck outside although we chose inside and service was friendly, timely and not overbearing Will definitely be back.
