Showed up at 7:30 for our reservation, but they never opened or even acknowledged us outside. We were passed by a man who buzzed his way in (staff?), but still stood outside for another 10 minutes, then we left. I was starving, so it really sucked.

Great spot with good food and unbeatable prices. Every single person in the dining room was Italian and food reflected it. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area. Not life changing but great choice if you are visiting the Vatican or local museums
