Very nice restaurant a few meters from Trevi Fountain. Very friendly waiters and quick service. We ordered pasta carbonara, tonnarelli cacio e pepe and mezze maniche alla gricia, all were delicious! Also the artichoke alla giudia very good, crispy and not greasy. With the coffee they brought us complimentary cat tongues and cantucci. At the end of dinner they gave the children a card and pen, a very welcome gift. Very fair prices for being in downtown Rome and for the quality of the food. We will definitely return!

Sublime dinner with friends. Appetizers with quality cold cuts, fantastic first courses served in fair portions. Wide choice of wines and homemade desserts that delighted us. A big thank you also to the waiter Matteo who accompanied us throughout the evening with the utmost helpfulness, friendliness and kindness.

A unique place that has become my reference point, where I can feel at home and that makes my walks through the Roman alleys even more magical. Very friendly staff, Matteo among my favorites, not to mention the owners. Very fresh food of excellent quality. Wide selection of excellent wines. If you are looking for a cozy place to enjoy very good Roman dishes go to Piccolo Arancio. You will not regret it!!!!

Excellent cuisine in the heart of Rome, a stone's throw from the Trevi Fountain, you'll find it at Piccolo Arancio, vicolo Scanderbeg, the value for money is unparalleled, the menu is wide-ranging, the staff's welcome and service impeccable.

Great location, very close to the Trevi Fountain. Excellent service, superb food, courteous and friendly. My sister and I enjoyed a mixed fritto misto di pesce with excellent white wine from the Castelli, a delicious homemade dessert and we will be back soon! Recommended to anyone who likes to eat and drink well. 🙂

Piccolo Arancio is a true hidden gem! The cozy atmosphere makes you feel at home, while the delicious dishes transport you straight to Italy. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring an unforgettable dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine and a warm atmosphere.

The location is splendid near the Trevi Fountain . Each time is a nice experience for quality of food, care in service and kindness of the owner Carlo who adds an extra touch. The venue is small and I recommend booking in advance. Until the next occasion!

Chiara Brambi

As the name says Small, but the quality of the food is Gigantic. Excellent in all respects: quality, welcome, service and then just a stone's throw from the Trevi Fountain!

Gianluca Naticchioni

Excellent restaurant near the Trevi Fountain, serving mainly typical Roman dishes. Excellent gricia and cacio e pepe, attentive and friendly service, and family atmosphere. The saltimbocca alla romana is also excellent, as is the artichoke alla giudia, crispy outside and soft inside.

Davide Deluca

Cozy ambiance, traditional Roman dishes prepared with fresh products and cared for even in the layout.The menu ranges from fish to meat, and what about the first courses.Unfortunately, we only managed to eat the appetizers and first courses, then we moved on to dessert. Not to mention the choice of wines. But the icing on the cake are Carlo and Mara always affable, they manage to make you feel flavor of home.
