We were excited to check this place out since it has such a high rating, but were quite disappointed! The wine was harsh tasting, the calamari was especially salty, the carbonara pasta didn't taste the least bit authentic, and the pizza tasted like a poor Peter Piper replicate. The pizza crust looked and tasted like it was from a package, and the toppings were very cheap and canned tasting. The service was extremely slow, but friendly. Authentic Italian from Rome? I don't think so. This was not the hidden gem we were hoping for!
