The story

This Roman steakhouse first caught the internet’s attention through a meme, but as creator Bruce Pappalardo notes, it “serves genuinely high-quality food.” Beyond the buzz, the kitchen turns out excellent raw meat preparations—try the Carpaccio al Tartufo or the Mix di Tartare—alongside inventive sushi options like the Sushi Foresta and Sushi Pianeta. A standout is the Ravioli Ripieni di Wagyu e Patanegra in Salsa Rosa, a wagyu raviolo that lives up to the hype.

Prices are fair, and the atmosphere is lively and fun, whether you’re at the counter or an outdoor table. The open kitchen and casual, family-friendly vibe make it easy to linger over a Cowboy Stick or a deeply satisfying Carbonara Sburrevole. Close with the Tiramisù, and you’ll understand why this local spot—trendy yet welcoming—has earned its 4.7-star rating.

AI summary of what 8 dish mentions say about the food

This tiramisù is made with Pan di Stelle biscuits instead of ladyfingers. The cream is very rich, heavy on mascarpone, and very indulgent. It's a heavy dessert, but the combination with the chocolate cookies works. It's very goloso, very satisfying.

    A steakhouse that went viral for a meme but serves genuinely high-quality food — from excellent raw meat preparations to a standout wagyu raviolo — with fair prices and a fun, lively atmosphere.

    Dishes mentioned

    • Carpaccio al Tartufo

      The carpaccio is cut irregularly, which tells me it's made in-house. I was afraid it would be chewy, but instead it melts in your mouth. They use only filet, and it's served at the right temperature, not fridge-cold. Really good.

    • Sushi Foresta

      This one has porcini mushrooms, boscaiola sauce, and Rubia Gallega beef. The sauce is really good, they make all their sauces in-house. The meat melts in your mouth, I barely chewed it. The rice is a bit al dente, very Italian-style, but it works.

    • Sushi Pianeta

      This is the tempura one with blue mayonnaise, scamorza cheese, and flakes. The blue color is probably from spirulina. It's good, but a bit more anonymous compared to the Foresta. The frying could be crunchier. I'd pick the Foresta over this one.

    • Mix di Tartare

      Four different tartares: pistachio, porcini, eggplant, and sun-dried tomato with blue mayonnaise. The meat is really high quality, you can tell. It's served at room temperature, not fridge-cold, which I appreciate. The sun-dried tomato one is spectacular, on another level. Simple and functional pairings.

    • Carbonara Sburrevole

      This is their signature carbonara, made with pici pasta. The pasta is al dente, water and flour pici. The cream is made with both yolk and white, which the owner insists on. It's creamy without being cloying. The guanciale is hand-cut, crunchy, from Norcia. I taste both pecorino and parmesan, maybe more parmesan, which makes it sweeter. The pepper is strong but balanced. It's a very good carbonara.
