They know their pasta, perfectly al dente, fresh ingredients. Friendly staff, not the fastest but great for a slow day in Civitavecchia. All the pasta dishes were amazing, my favorite is the clam pasta and amatriciana pasta.

The guy waiting on us (hard to call him a waiter) is super nice and patient as we speak no Italian and he speaks no English. Food was great. May be 5 stars but I capped it at 4 because it's our first meal in Italy and I'm holding out that there might be better on our trip. That might be a little unfair because it really is very good.

Nice little restaurant run by a local couple. Try out their delicious insalata di gamberi, and the spaghetti con polpo e pecorino... Beautiful! One of the rare places where the polpo is as it should be, not gummy but tender and melting!
