Came here after visiting the Colosseum. The Carbonara was really good, though the portion could have been bigger. A bit noisy, but the service was friendly and quick.

Great place with a fantastic location! The Amatriciana was delicious, but I found the bruschetta a bit too garlicky for my taste. Overall, a lovely dining experience with friendly staff. Would definitely return!

Had dinner here with my family and loved the Cacio e Pepe! Really tasty and cooked perfectly. The waiter was super nice, but we did wait about 15 minutes for a table. Worth it!

This tour is for no more than 24 people, which will make the tour highly intimate, but fun at the same time. Exclusivity, privacy, and entertainment, are the words that perfectly describe the experience provided by this tour! The Colosseum is heavily visited for its famous tiered seating arrangements and the arena floor. Because of that, its underground level remains rarely explored. In this tour, you and your small group will have the occasion to travel down into the monument’s dungeons where gladiators awaited their frightful future and wild animals from the world’s most exotic regions were kept. As you visit these underground chambers, you will see the remains of what were once elevators, trap doors, and cages You'll get spectacular 360º views over the Colosseum from here, and see it from the same perspective as the gladiators – minus the tigers!
