OH MY GOD. I love charcuterie so my BFF found this lovely gem on our last night in Rome. This place will blow your mind; delicious meats and cheeses plus a perfect instagram picture who can beat that?! It's a tiny little place and they don't have a waitlist so you have to stand around the door outside and keep to the honor system. When you actually get a seat, you have to go to the counter, order yourself, grab your own water...basically serve yourself! They don't have a restaurant license so they're in violation if they serve you etc. But who cares?! The food is to die for and trust me...you'll eat it all...after you snap a pic of course! read more

Cantina dei Papi - Wine Bars Near Me - Rome, RM

There's not a lot of seating inside or outside and they don't take reservations (as it's not a restaurant but a snackery) so make sure to come at off hours so you don't have to wait. Once you're in there, enjoying the delicious cheese and meat boards, with great local wines to match, you won't be in a hurry to leave. read more

Was a very fun experience to eat here The prosciutto and salami were the best I've had Kinda hectic of an environment but read the signs to understand the way things work. When entering you walk to the back to order, might seem like a line but people are eating at the little tables on the wall. We ordered the medium platter and a pasta The pasta was really oily, and the platter was more than enough for two read more

Absolutely to die for - my new favorite place in Rome! I'm so thankful to Yelp for leading me to it, as I had walked right past it a couple times without even realizing. It's quite small without traditional tables, more so just stools and benches you can set your food/drinks on (they're at the same height, so be ready to lean a bit!). Per the reviews, I tried to come at a bit of an "off time" so there wouldn't be a big line or wait - I came around 4pm and it was perfect! No line, and only a couple other people in there. There is a chalkboard menu but someone came and asked if I needed help before I had to spend a lot of time deciphering it. She said to pick between a small, medium, and large board, and she would take care of the rest, assuming I didn't have any issue with that. I asked for a small and told her one or two small things I didn't like (sun dried tomatoes are NOT my thing), but said anything else was fair game. It took probably 5-8 minutes for the board to be created, since they're all being individually crafted. I grabbed a half bottle of wine as well. In addition to the wine, they also have free water (VERY hard to come by in Italy) with a cheeky sign saying it's from the Trevi Fountain (only a few hundred feet away) and that it's the "viagra of Rome", which I thought was hilarious :D When my board was ready, I was thoroughly impressed. Not just the usual meats and cheeses you often see on charcuterie, it was a gorgeous arrangement of meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, jams, bread with spreads, and extra bread on the side. It was all DELICIOUS. In addition to the amazing boards and helpful staff, the vibe was really fun - it's very communal since the benches are all near each other in the small space, so you end up chatting with a lot of customers and comparing boards, each as beautiful as the next, but all completely different. And they were rocking 90's jams the whole time, which made me super happy. I was on a tour of Italy and ended up in Naples after Rome, and met some people looking for suggestions in Rome for their first visit. This place was my #1 recommendation!! It is not to be missed! read more

We were able to beat the lunch crowd and snag a table here a few days ago after visiting the Trevi fountain a few streets over. Tiny restaurant with tiny tables and huge boards full of deliciousness - meat, cheese, bread, assorted spreads, fruit & veg. Everything appears to be made in house, and they have various sizes of boards - a small, medium, and large, from what I could tell. We shared the medium for 2 people and it was tons of food. SO GOOD. They give you an extra pot of assorted bread to pile your meats and cheeses on, too. One of the types was some kind of salted white bread? No other way to describe it. I could have eaten 40 lbs of that alone. They choose what to put on your board for you, and they know what's up! Trust the masters. They have small and large bottles of wine, also. Bonus points for the friendly staff and the old school 50 Cent and Macklemore blaring over their speakers. Would return 100 times over. read more

This place was by far our favorite place to go in Rome. We had to wait the second time we went but it was worth every minute of it. The place is super tiny and intimate but creates this atmosphere that is both cozy and fun. Besides the great food and affordable wine this place had wonderful service . The service made everyone laugh and just have a great time like you were at home because they truly enjoyed working there too. I wish there were places like this in the US with spreads of cheeses and meats that gave every different texture and flavor in your mouth. A prefect place to have wine and food before dinner or even a big plate for your dinner. Go hungry and expect nothing but greatness! read more

Ok. According to yelp I deleted it. So I will do it again. This place is by the Trevi fountain. Fantastic. It is a meat shop therefore they cannot have a menu. Order the 20€ platter for 2 and a bottle of wine. Wine is cheaper than a coke and better! Comes with salamis mortadella cheese prosciutto fruit bruschetta bread. Fantastico! Delicious! Then you walk off happy and at an angle. read more

Had a great May 9, 2017 visit. You customize your meat,cheese and veggie platter and then your CEO e by the glass...Valpolicella, Brunello and finish with Amarone! Went back Fri, March 19, 2018 and it was close with attached police notice. Anyone know why and if it will be reopening? read more

Its a damn slaughter house... I LOVE IT! This place would be completely missed if you didn't have a line out the door or... yelp... Its literally a whole in the wall with make shift tables outside and very limited seating inside. I had to squeeze my oversize body against the wall like mission impossible the whole meal to fit... so worth it though. Ill be honest, I have no idea how the ordering went, I just pointed to a basic platter and they carved up the prosciutto meats and all the compliments that go with. If you are not too familiar with the local wine, they are of course happily to oblige you with a recommendation on what to order to compliment it. The platter was ridiculous in size and portion that was more then enough for the two of us. Each bite was rich and full of flavor. read more

Love this place every time I visit Rome! The charcuterie boards are beyond compare, the porchetta is perfection...the wine selection very good and reasonably priced and the staff is lively and helpful! Highly reco read more

Cantina dei Papi - Large board for 4 - Wine Bars Near Me - Rome, RM

Oh my gosh! This was the BEST restaurant we ate at in Rome. It was soooo affordable and yummy. We didn't think we could bring our baby to this restaurant because it looked kind of small but they made it happen! We scooted our stroller and baby and the three of us successfully fit in the back. I recommend coming here around 1:30 p.m. after the lunch rush. It is located near the Trevi fountain so you can go to a lot of fun touristy sites and then stop here for some food. Their meat, veggie, and cheese boards were beyond generous. Man, I loved all the items on the board. It looked really pretty too. I thought the food was pretty filling for two. Man, for two people, it costed only 20 Euros. what a good deal. I would definitely come back here again!! read more

Most amazing charcuterie board my wife and I have had. We try charcuterie most places we go and this rated as one of the best we have had. Price plus quality + quantity equals the best here. read more

LOVED this little hidden gem in Rome!! I was a little skeptical about this place since it's meats and cheeses on a board and sandwiches. My husband insisted on this place since it didn't look like a tourist trap and had a total local vibe. The guys that worked behind the counter were super friendly and attentive and so they suggested we tried a mix board of cheeses and aged meats. The board had a great variety and was paired with bread that had a spread that would compliment the meat or cheese that it was placed next to. I was soo impressed the first time that we decided to go back the next day! The guys there also are pretty good about pairing a wine glass with your selection. I saw that some people ordered a sandwich (a panini) but I liked how the boards gave you a wider variety of things to eat. I totally recommend this place!! We will be sure to come back when we return to Rome! read more

I found this place based on reviews while in Rome. It was a challenge to find, but worth the search. You order at the counter, deli style, whatever meat, cheese, etc. that you would like. We ordered a medium board for two of us and asked the woman behind the counter to just put whatever she thought would work together on the board. Inside seating is very limited and we were lucky enough to snag the only outside table. We sat there and she knocked on the window when our board was ready. It looked amazing and so big. Since this was our dinner we surprisingly had no problem finishing it off. It was inexpensive and delicious. We encouraged many sightseers passing by to come in and order their own meat and cheese board. read more

What a hidden gem! My boyfriend (Roman) and I (American) were looking for a quick aperitivo and were quite nervous as we found ourselves int he middle of tourist central with expensive and questionable food but then....we found this place! We enjoyed the meat and cheese board so much we stayed and ordered sandwiches for dinner! The meat, cheese and fruits were sooo fresh and delicious. They have a bunch of wines that you can get by glass or bottle. The price was excellent when you see how much stuff they give you. Service was super quick and the staff were very nice and open to explaining anything and everything thing on the menu. Definitely will be back! read more

This place is an absolute gem buried in the Trastevere neighborhood. We spent three weeks in Italy and it's the only place we ate at multiple times. The boards are a piece of art and creative genius behind the counter was always so friendly and watching her put the boards together was entertainment in itself. Do yourself and your stomach a favor and don't miss this place while in Rome. read more

This place is amazing! I was surprised to hear that there are multiple, just because the experience feels so unique. There are a variety of meats that would be hard to find at many of the marketplaces, and the way that they prepare the platters is actually beautiful, definitely picture worthy! They have different pricing levels that are all extremely reasonable for the quality and quantity that you're getting, between 5 euros and 30 euros, but realistically two could split a board for 10 euros and be very full. There is no cover charge and no table service, and in a town where it costs two euros per person to sit at a table that's a pleasure to find. I have nothing but love for this place and I would recommend anyone to go, it is an incredible experience whether in Roma, Milan, or Firenze. During our trip to Italy we came here multiple times in multiple cities just because we loved it so much. read more

La Prosciutteria on Via della Panetteria in Centro Storico is a wine and prosciutto bar. Did you hear me right? This is not your typical wine bar that also has some bites on tap. It actually focuses on everything porky just as much as it is on the reds! Personalized meat platters of antipasti, cold cuts, and cheeses come in €5 small, €10 medium, €15 large, and the delectable arrangements vary, based on the proprietor's assessment of... you. Well, maybe not really, other factors are also involved, not the least of which is his creativity. Like many places here in Rome and everywhere in Italy, they make their own house wine, produzione vini del Chianti. It's very good! Try it with your meal or with your apps pre-dinner, even if you're not a drinker of reds, you'll thank me later! Simply put, our meat and cheese platter was out of this world. That's what eating scrumptiously and gregariously is all about! Yes, please envy me! Then eat vicariously... Pictures enclosed! Authentic Italian ambiance, with a modern European vibe. Take a lesson in Italian body language and gesticulation. English will only take you so far. Produzione vini del Chianti Vini * Panini * Merende read more

You like pig, wine, and rock n' roll? Welcome to La Prosciutteria Trevi. This place is run by some bad-ass ladies who build a mean board. Said board is made of olive wood and every inch of it is covered with Italian goodies: meat, cheese, grilled veggies, more meat, and bruschetta. The music is fun, the place is itty bitty, and the wine is gooood. Try the lambrusco. It's not sweet at all, but dry, fizzy, and berrylicious. It goes perfectly with the board. By the way, the one that we ordered was a medium and it was already over 2 feet long. Yeah, it comes in bigger sizes. Have fun ;-) I recommend going here when Roma is napping (i.e., not at lunchtime and not at dinnertime). read more

I went here my very first two days in Rome. For a cheap sandwich, this place is really good. They have all different types of meats, cheeses, spices, and even vegetables. I ordered a "create your own" sandwich with tapenade, mozzarella cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and artichokes. For €4 it was filling, but very salty. The bread had salt crystals on it and, combined with the tapenade and mozzarella, tasted like someone poured packets of salt into my mouth. That made it kind of dry. But hey, if you want something cheap and like meat, this is the place for you. read more

TL;DR - Charcuterie board If you're a fan of charcuterie, this place is the place to be. Place gets crowded but it is well worth the wait. Great platter of cured meats, cheese, and pickled garnishes. Get yourself a board + wine and you'll be satisfied with the price and quality of food. read more

It's a tiny meat market with a few areas for seating outside and three tiny make shift tables outside. They have a sign that says that they're not permitted as a restaurant. It was about a 10-15 minute trek from our hotel but we were looking for a cheap and satisfying dinner. Besides the rave reviews, you know what sealed the deal for us, the porchetta pics! I was totally craving porchetta. We both ordered a porchetta sammie, and though before I left I saw on the menu online a porchetta with mixed veggies on the menu, but kind of forgot, and couldn't really see the menu on the wall there and stuff. So we ended up with a plain porchetta sammie. When the guy was assembling our sammie, I said to hubby, "OMG look at the skin." And the guy said, "Oh you like skin?" And I was like, "Yes both love it, it's so good." So he hooked it up with a good amount of skin on the sandwich. He was friendly, but I would have appreciated some suggestions for toppings or spreads we could have added to our sandwiches. I've read others' reviews here and it seems like they got spreads put on and other fixings, but the menu at least online doesn't list any thing of the sort, so it may have been either they a. asked about this, b. got suggestions or c. perhaps just saw it in front of them somewhere (I was pulled just to the side). The only reason why I'm docking off a star is for this. Otherwise, it was such a simple but delciious porchetta. The pork was so moist without feeling so fatty. The skin was perfectly crispy, and the bread was moist too. It was just porchetta and bread. Sometimes the simple things in life our the best. Others ordered the salumi boards. Was totally thinking about dining at La Proscuitteria in Florence too, but we refrained. 2 filling porchetta sandwiches were only 9 Euro. If I'm ever back in Rome or Florence, I would definitely come back for another porchetta or for some other fresh salty pig parts! read more

3.5 I don't know what happened. It all worked out on paper: location, good smells, good menu, somewhat hungry me... yet, the sum of all the parts left me wanting more. Nothing was bad and if in the area (and, you likely will be at some point of your stay in Rome), it's worth checking out but know that all that glitters is not gold and all that promises pork products might not move you right round (right round). I knew that as I explored the vestiges of the ancient world, I would wander in to LP. I'd planned on it. When I arrived mid-afternoon (after the lunch rush; I'm a professional), I knew that I'd made the right choice. The decor was rustic. The smells were intoxicating and the crowds were minimal. Considering that I had sort of ruined my lunch with a porchetta sandwich earlier in the day (see review), I wanted to make up for it and fill my belly enough to last me until I landed in London the next day. Rather than choose from their sandwich board, I decided to make my own meal (since I am a food alchemist). I worked wonders and even the employee was impressed at my flavor combination skills: Tuscan bread, prosciutto, tomato, kale, artichoke, and gorgonzola truffle spread. Right? Right?? To drink, I decided on one of their house beers. The cans were very attractive but I should have paid more attention to the style of beer rather than the color and design. I chose an IPA. It actually paired well with my sandwich but I, as a rule, don't care for IPAs. I tore in to my sandwich, eager to taste victory and... it was ok. The gorgonzola truffle spread was extremely mild and muted. When combining gorgonzola and truffle, the words 'mild' and 'muted' should not come to mind. They did. The bread was a touch on the old/stale side and the woman behind the bar (to whom the gentleman punted the making of my sandwich) was pretty light-handed with the prosciutto. The bones were there (thanks, me) but the taste didn't live up to the promise. If back in Rome, I can see stopping in for a glass of wine and to rest my feet (the space is very comfortable, despite the abundance of wood) but I wouldn't be in a rush to try another sandwich. Maybe it was an off day? read more

Hands down, this was our favourite spot in Rome. We had difficulty finding it the first time but couldn't stop going back once we had! People were pouring out of the door at 7ish but it was much quieter gone 9pm - presumably people were coming for their aperitifs or a quick platter before their main meal elsewhere. It's small but perfectly formed inside, with a large meat and cheese counter taking up the majority of the space. Not legally a restaurant, menus can be found on the walls and a cutlery station towards the back of the room. There's no table service so head up to the counter to place your order. Unfortunately we didn't eat on our visits but the food coming out looked excellent. All the cured meats and cheese you could imagine, served on large wooden boards. Look up and you realise that there are large legs of ham etc. hanging from the ceiling, small bowls attached to the bottom to catch any drips. Everything is sliced fresh and it's evident that these guys are passionate about what they do. Tabs are attached to the bottom of your glass so it's a very simple payment process at the end of your visit. Prosecco was €3.50 and wine €2.50 a glass, both generous portions and delicious to boot. A great set up which deserves its popularity. Fit this into your holiday. read more

When in Rome, do as the Romans do right? This is perfect place to get some apps and drinks before dinner. This small, local spot was the best place my friend and I went to throughout our time in Rome. They have a great selection of meats, cheeses and red/white wines you can choose from. From my experience, you can choose a small, medium or large charcuterie board of their choosing of what types of meat and cheeses on them. We were originally going to choose a small, but the guy at the counter told us to get a medium and I'm glad we did. No need to choose your meats and cheeses because they will do all that for you! Everything was so fresh and you could really tell they really care for the quality of their meats and cheeses. The board had different types of fruit, as well as different types of spreads on soft bread which really complemented everything. They also give you a small bowl of bread with your board. I ordered a glass of sauvignon blanc, and my friend ordered another white wine which was literally the best we've had in Rome so far. I think that says a lot about this place and how great this establishment is. Tip: -I know this sounds cliche coming from a tourist, but this place is NOT touristy at all! The surrounding area is full of tourists, but surprisingly this place wasn't as busy as I assumed, we waited only 10 mins! -They also have other dishes as well! (Pastas, sandwiches, etc) -Our seats were pretty cramped, but instead of waiting for a table, sit on the stools across from the counter! We had the cutest wine holders I've seen. They should make stuff like this in San Francisco! This will be the first place I'm heading to whenever I come back to Rome! read more

This is my favorite place in Rome! There's nothing i love more than red wine, bread and charcuterie. I let myself unwind here.. order a plate of ham and a bottle.. then order a little more... Dined here several times and each time they treat you like old friends. It's super casual, a cool spot and they play American music. The house wine is extremely affordable and the charcuterie is delicious. My favorite is just the regular smoked ham with their own balsamic sauce! I bought two bottles of the balsamic to take back home. It's also very cozy.. no more than a handful of tables inside lining the walls and one outside (perfect people watching spot). We spent hours in here eating platters of pork, veggies, bread and washing it down with plenty of red wine. read more

The place is small and has very limited seating, but for 20 euros you get a platter of meats/cheeses/bread that's enough to feed 2.

If this place was by my job in NY, I would be here everyday after work, so its probably for the best that it is not. The interior is basically set up like a rustic butcher shop with a few seats against the wall with small tables and wine glass holders and a three tables in the back. Very intimate and close setting, and super friendly staff who really want you to have some great food. The menu lets you choose from a bunch of the meats and cheeses they have that day. I highly recommend the large mix charcuterie board, which comes with meats, cheeses, fruits, bread with spread and a whole bowl of soft bread for 15 eur. They also have sandwiches to choose from and one off items. The wine here is great all around and crazy cheap! Amazing quality, along with your favorites for 2.5 a glass, and the bottles were in the low 20's. Ended up coming here both days while I was in Rome for lunch and both days I wished i could come back everyday. They take credit, self seating and self service, just order at the counter. Otherwise Sit down relax and take a load off with a few glass of wine and some snacks. read more
