“ Oh My! How lucky were we to literally stumble on to this cozy spot? We were greeted by Vito and Erica with such warmth! I loved the look of the place with tea tins, bistro tables and BOOKS! We enjoyed a quick drink as they were about to close. The next night was our last in Rome and we are thrilled we decided to spend it with Vito and Erica again! They are so cheerful, kind and just plain fun! We enjoyed beer and wine as well as fabulous food.! We hope to return someday. Tim and Elizabeth ”
