Having visited this restaurant fifteen years ago, I eagerly anticipated this evening's meal. We were put off by the woman who received us with the comment that Romans eat at nine but they could accommodate us (she had accepted our reservation for seventhirty the day before, so why this was now a problem was unclear), but the memory of that...

I've been here twice once about 20 years ago and this time. Both times I came with a good friend who has lived in Rome for 30+ years and comes here often.
