Anima E Sapori

Didn’t see the bad reviews until after, I had a good experience here and loved what I ordered. The place has a cute wall that’s perfect for IG photo sesh!

Elegant and relaxed this place can get very busy with locals. However, the coffee is always of top quality, so is the atmosphere whether you're in for a quick double espresso first thing in the morning, or for a un-rushed glass of brandy to sharpen your November evening

Got ushered in by the very persuasive owner, offered us two cocktails and some finger food for €12, we then read the reviews of the place and saw they were awful so we voiced our concerns to the owner that we were going to be overcharged or in some way scammed but he explained it was his uncles restaurant previously and they were running it into the ground so he returned to take charge. The location isn't amazing (corner of a road so lots of cars, scooters etc. Passing close by) but it was fine, he even gave us two free proseccos after we mentioned our concerns. We paid him directly just in case there was confusion with the waiters. Drinks were nice, finger food was alright, so overall a not bad experience.

Being right next to Piazza Navona and completely empty we were suspicious at first. Turns out the place changed owner and after a while it also started to fill up. And the suspicion was uncalled for. The amatriciana was good and they made it with guanciale not pancetta. Also, they have children seats available.
