Cantina dei Papi

We went here for lunch and got a mixed board for lunch. Yes this place is small, but so is the majority of the places I have been to in Italy. That's part of the experience. We got there, and asked for the mixed board and the employee asked if we had any allergies and went from there. We left it as a surprise and we got a wonderful mix of cheeses and meats. Their porchetta was amazing and they were super friendly and welcoming. read more

Just a cool experience, I appreciate the attention to detail. These people know their craft. Quarters are tight, the line's likely to be out the door during traditional meal-time, but this is very good salumi for a great value in a nice (small) space. read more

This was probably my favorite meal in Rome! When we arrived, the line was out the door, but we hung in there and found a seat after a 20 minute wail. Because there are only a few tables/seats in this establishment, you can expect to wait if its "prime time" for eating or drinking. I ordered a medium cold cut and cheese board for a whopping 10 euro, and a beer (for me) and wine (for my wife) to accompany our snack. Amazing! In total, it came out to 20 euro, which was well worth it for everything we got. read more

Such a great spot - good assortment of tasty treats and a friendly staff. We originally came here for a meat & cheese platter around lunch and it was packed! Got some sandwiches to go - pretty standard meat/cheese/bread. Came back for our platter and was so pleasantly surprised...the place is VERY tiny but we got a place to sit. Portion was great and enjoyed a bottle of wine. Great variety of meats and cheese on our board! read more

This place reminded me of a hipster joint back home. It was awesome! I can see how it would get very easily crowded because there are only a few tables inside and one up front. It's super small. My hubby and I got the "ham on ham" platter and it was literally just ham. Some of the best damn ham I've had! Italian ham, that is. The girl who brought it to us explained each one and which part of Italy they were from. Super friendly. We got a bottle of house red. Not really paying attention to the cost, we were paranoid of what a bottle of wine and this 15€ platter would cost. In total, it was only 24€. What?! So cheap. A bottle of wine alone at other places can cost that much. I'd recommend stopping here during early lunch on the weekdays when it's not so crazy. You won't regret it! My only regret is that we didn't try more. read more

Came here prior to dinner based on reviews and it was a GREAT decision! We had the mixed Wood Platter for four people (small portion) and it was enormous! We sat outside (cars drive by occasionally, so make sure your little wood bench isn't in the way of the cars), but the inside is super fun! I recommend this place for appetizers and vino before heading to dinner. The Cabernet Sauvignon was only 5 euros for a glass and was very nice. Don't miss it on your visit to Roma!! read more

Get the platter and thank me later. You can choose three sizes (small, medium, large) and then the workers behind the counter begin building your platter of deliciousness. There is a great variety of spreads, olives, and of course hams and cheese. Medium was the perfect amount for an aperitivo, all washed down with some delicious wine. The staff is a little rough but they churn out delicious stuff. Don't expect to have your hand held but do expect delicious offerings. read more

This was the first place we ate in Rome and boy oh BOY were we lucky to just happen to stumble on in here. It was dead at noon and we didn't really know how or what to order, so we just went for the mixed platter for two. The truffle bread was my favorite part -- but mostly just the range of the flavors and the clear care put into all of the things on the board. It was packed at night when we walked by. It's not a formal sit-down place -- more of a place where you buy a snack and pop in and out, but that's part of the beauty. Really loved it. read more

This was my favorite little spot in Rome. We stumbled in when it started raining and stayed for a while sharing a bottle of house red and a giant assortment of antipasti. The place doesn't have a restaurant license so you have to order at the counter and then bring stuff to your table but that gives the place a more casual vibe. The eatery is really small so you'll be lucky to snag a table but it's so worth waiting for one. We didn't know what to get so we just asked the girls for an assortment of antipasti and they delivered. Everything was soooooooo delicious. Like seriously delicious. Like I'm still thinking about how good it is and drooling kind of delicious. You MUST come here. read more

We had just finished viewing Fontana di Trevi and were looking for a place to have a late…read morelunch/early dinner. The issue I had was that I was in a super heavy tourist area and all of the restaurants we were walking past had people outside trying to lure us in. I wanted to avoid places like that, however via Yelp I discovered Il Chianti a short walk away. While still I assumed still touristy, the reviews were great and as we approached they weren't trying to lure us in, so we decided to try them out. I take this place is very popular since I noticed a sign instructing diners for form a line as we walked up to the restaurant. However, there was no line to be found and we were seated right away. Curb appeal is lovely, they have a decently-sized outdoor seating area though we opted to sit inside. The interior is a good size and compartmentalized into different rooms. The aesthetics are mostly classic with medium to dark wood tones. The menu contained some Tuscan dishes but also several that were more common outside of the region. We decided to start with two of their apps - a cheese plate and bread with fatty prosciutto, pistachio, and honey. The cheese plate was great, I love cheese and this one delivered - there was a good variety and the plate was paired with a few complements. The bread was great - the combination of the fatty prosciutto with the honey and nuts made for a great experience. There was a small salad in the center of the dish which was a welcome reprieve from the heaviness of the app. For my main I decided to get pasta - the paccheri with tomato sauce and burrata was speaking to me. The dish was great - pasta was cooked well and all of the components were super fresh. I've tried burrata in may settings but rarely in a pasta dish - it worked well and now I'll be seeking it out more often. Service was good - everyone was very friendly and there was a good pace to the rate our dishes came out. Overall, we had a great experience at Il Chianti - in a sea of touristy spots by the Trevi, this stands out as a noteworthy option for a good meal.
