    I used to frequent this place regularly but haven’t been in a while. Things have changed but the quality of the food was still top level. But what has changed appears to be new management or ownership and double the prices for half the portion and minus the table cloths. I don’t mind smaller, more normal sized portions but Cacio e Pepe for $40 is just extraordinary (fish of the day was $45). Music was too loud for such a quaint place and poor acoustics made loud tables even louder - we were having to shout across our 2-top table to hear each other other. Given the price, it might be a while before I return.

    La cena estuvo deliciosa, pedimos los calamares y camarones fritos como entrada y después una ensalada Rovino y una lasaña, todo muy rico.

    Has to ask for a waiter to serve us after waiting 20 minutes with only water. Food was mediocre at best.
