Can I give a zero? It's a zero. Tourist trap food and menu. No service it was terrible. Caught my eye as legit from the outside but were quickly disappointed. Get off this street in general for authentic food in Rome. read more

First dinner after we dropped off our stuff at a nearby airbnb. We beat the dinner rush and did not have to wait for a table. We each ordered pasta dishes and one pizza to share. The pasta meals and the pizza were really good, no complaints for our first meal in Rome. read more

Food is good but the service is questionable. I asked in Italian for carafe of table water and was told they only had bottles while others received the carafes from the bar. I was there a week prior to my visit and I paid a completely different price this time for the exact same thing! read more

The food here is unmatched. Everything we ordered was beyond amazing. The service is wonderful and very helpful, we ordered a bottle of wine and our lovely server Andreea gave us a recommendation of a local wine instead allowing us to test both and the local wine was fantastic. Everyone serving was incredibly kind! it's an absolute amazing atmosphere, from the music to again the service it's just the place to be. read more

This little place is delicious and explains the number of people waiting to eat here for dinner the night before we ate there for lunch. The staff are wonderful! We enjoyed delicious crispy artichokes after our Vatican tour guide suggested them, they were so light and crispy and paired with the potatoes chips that are served to all tables. The pizza left us speechless, delicious wood burning fire oven pizza!!! perfecto They also have sparkling water on draft. read more

Great service and food. They accommodated our friends who showed up to the restaurant well after we ordered our pizza. Great location and atmosphere. read more

We ate there twice and both times was fantastic. We got meatballs both times (the cheesy one and the traditional one) and also the focaccia and they were delicious. Eva and Francisco were awesome! read more

After reading reviews my cousin and I decided to check out Cantina e Cucina for dinner. We came and the guy said it was going to be a 15-20 minute wait. But the PLUS was he offered some wine while we waited in line. In the end, we were sat in 10minutes! How cool!! LOVE IT. I ordered Lasagna & he ordered a Cabonara. They were both amazing!! We will be back again. Layout inside was nice, but a bit small and tight but then again, that's most places in Rome! read more

Best food we had in all of Rome! The restaurants situated in a beautiful neighborhood with tons of restaurants and lively music. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the pizzas, lasagna, and several other items. We make sure we visit here every time we come to Rome! read more

The food is amazing! The personal is super kind, we really liked the service at cantina e cucina.

Wow wow wow. Must go!! Will be worth the long wait. No room for big groups - be willing to split into tables of 4 and 2. Staff was exceptional - first class all the way. Definitely with the focaccia and Vivaldi salad (the corn is so fresh!). Seafood lovers also adored the calamari but it was a little meaty for me. As for dinner, all forms of meatballs are a must (spaghetti and meatballs, meatballs and potatoes- meatballs in every form). Most of all, DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT CHOCOLATE SALAMI!!! This is a restaurant to remember. read more

We ate at Cantina e Cucina for our first meal in Rome on this trip and we loved it. We got in line (looked really long) free prosecco while we waited. Host guessed it would be a 30 minute wait but we were in in less than fifteen. Great atmosphere even though it's very crowded! The menu is available in a few different languages so they cater to tourists but the food is still exceptional. We started with calamari and fried artichoke. Calamari was excellent and artichoke was ok. We just had pasta for dinner and I did the carbonara which was very good. They used rigatoni noodles which was new to me and very smoky pork flavor. I loved it. Only concern was a little bit more cheese than I like. My fiancé got amatriciana which was exceptionally good. One of the best things we ate in Rome. Highly recommend and worth the wait. Our hotel was less than a block away and we had a balcony so one day for lunch we got pizza take away. You can skip the line and save 30% if you take away. Salcica e patate (sausage and potato) pizza was excellent as was the traditional Margherita pizza. read more

This restaurant is located in a bustling area, right by Piazza Navona. There was a wait of two parties before us when we arrived at 730pm on a Thursday night. While waiting, they gave us a small glass of prosecco. The table that opened for us was the one right at the front. Literally at the most forward point of the restaurant, displaying us for all passersby and those waiting in line. I almost wanted to wait for a different table, but we were very hungry. Our order was simple- bottle of Merlot, carbonara pasta and pizza rustica. The wine was great (see photo for bottle). The pizza and pasta were average. Nothing jumped out or was particularly awesome, comparing the dishes to others we've had. They gave us a shot of limoncello after paying the bill. The restaurant is filled with interesting decor. Lots to look at! Service was average but the little alcohol perks were a nice touch. I would have enjoyed it more sitting in a less apparent table. Cheers! read more

Outstanding pizza and salad! Everything was so fresh, natural and tasted wonderful. The service was los friendly and very helping ordering. Definitely will be back read more

I saw someone recommend this from Instagram. It did not disappoint! Great food, service and atmosphere. We had to wait in line for a few minutes but it was so worth it! read more

The first meal we had in Roma and we got super lucky with this place. We had heard that this place has a long line but we had to wait only for 20 minutes on a Sunday night. Amazing pasta amatriciana and one of the best pizzas I've had in all of Italy. We ordered the diavola Pizza (equivalent to a pepperoni pizza in the US). Perfect crust, fresh cheese and great toppings. The pasta was great too! The service was awesome, even for a fancy place like this, we didn't have a coperto charge. read more

Osso Buco and seafood bowl were terrific. We opted for the Italian side but saw many appealing Mexican and Latin dishes as well. Very large restaurant that we visited just prior to 6 pm, and was nearly full when we left just after 7 pm. First restaurant I've been to serving both Italian bread and tortilla chips on the table but it works! read more

During our second night in Rome we decided to try this place given the high ratings on TripAdvisor and Yelp. Luckily it was a short walk from our hotel near the Pantheon as well. When we arrived around 9PM, there was a line outside of the restaurant with maybe 8 people ahead of us. We gave our name and the friendly gentleman outside seating people wrote it down on his list. While we waited, he came out to give the people waiting in line outside some bread and a small glass of champagne. It was a nice touch. Friendly guy, too. It's definitely tight inside the restaurant as far as seating as is most places in Rome we've been to, so ladies and gents be aware if you're bringing in large purses/bags inside this restaurant and be mindful of "bumping" them into other patrons by accident. We were seated faster than I thought and the server was friendly, spoke English. Decor was very charming, an intimate setting for sure. The food was just acceptable to me. I was expecting to be blown away, but for what we ordered, it was just fine. Nothing memorable or absolutely delicious. We got rigatoni carbonara, which was very simple in taste and just fine, a bit too underdone for my liking. But perhaps too simple. My husband also got the steak dish which was also just fine, nothing spectacular. Definitely a place that was just average to me, personally. I've definitely had better steak. But they do have good service here. Maybe I just didn't order the right thing. I'd be willing to give them another chance if we ever visit Rome again. read more

A pretty fun looking restaurant, with a lot of decor to explore. There was usually a line up outside when we passed by during our stay in Rome. We chose to try it before the big line up started. The service was pretty good, but the pizza I tried was just a pile of arugula lettuce on a cheese and Prosciutto meat pizza. My wife had the spaghetti, which was a bit too underdone, and the caprese salad wasn't that great with not an even number of cheese portions to tomato. read more

Honest, friendly and good food! Yes, this place is touristy, but they didn't try to rip us off like so many other restaurants in Rome. The food was delicious and the service was warm and attentive. I highly recommend a stop here if you're near the Piazza Navona. read more

Solid place and great service! We ordered the bruschetta trio, all three were great! We then shared the rigatoni carbonara and the oven roasted eggplant with Parmesan (eggplant parm), both were delicious! The eggplant Parmesan wasn't breaded it fried, it was all baked and delicious!!!! A great lunch! read more

This restaurant was located very close to my Air B&B and I am SO glad I found it. The staff at this restaurant are the nicest. Fabio was the main host, who greeted you out front (if there was a wait, it was only short) and started your experience in the restaurant off right. The main dining area is cozy but also upbeat with a good music playing and old Italian signage on the walls. The floating dried flowers hanging from the ceiling was a great touch as well. As for the food. this restaurant has some of the best food in Roma. From a caprese salad to the delectable cheeses and vegetables, the appetizers are great. This restaurant has hands down, the BEST lasagna I have ever had in my life and this is a bold statement coming from a foodie like myself. My family and I returned to this restaurant for lunch before our trip was done, it was that good. We also had the classic meatballs and homemade spaghetti which was out of this world. Our servers Mattia and Alex were very attentive and brought us all of our food in a timely fashion. They ensured we were having a great experience. If I had to recommend only one restaurant from my entire week in Italy, it would be this one. Despite what other reviewers might say, Cantina e Cucina is at the top and everyone should have the chance to enjoy it! read more

I had a delicious cabonara here! My husband had clams with spaghetti. He said the claims are really fresh. We shared a strawberry panacotta which is really delicious. I also love how they furnished the restaurant. read more

Excellent service, friendly staff, clean establishment, the food was excellent, great prices

We read reviews that said "we'd give this place greater than 5 stars if we could..." and being from NYC where these yelp stars aren't given our as generously as they are in other parts of the states, we were very skeptical at first. I have to say that we stand corrected and this place by far exceeded our expectations. We stayed near Piazza Navona and this place is along a street which has a handful of restaurants/wine bars, gelato places, and wine shops, clothing/souvenir stores. This was our first meal in Rome - which I have to say in retrospect was an awesome choice because it helped us ease into adjusting our palette! Try their lasagna (by far one of the best we've had), cacio e pepe and their vivaldo salad was refreshing and a good side order to all the gluten/starches! Their pizzas were pretty popular by observation (almost every table had one!, these are personal size). Their drinks are all priced reasonably and service is actually pretty good here! They serve you a shot of limencello with your check when you're ready to leave! Overall, awesome experience here, we dined here twice during our trip, we'd definitely come back. Save room though, turn left when you come out, down the block is Frigidarium (Gelato Place!) which is also out of this world! read more

We bookmarked multiple restaurants in Rome and this restaurant blew me away! Such a quaint place, excellent food and service. Our pasta and pizza dishes came out hot and quick. The flavor was on point and I highly recommend this restaurant to complete your Rome experience. read more

First meal after getting to Rome and it did not disappoint. Had the carbonara and a sampler of meats and cheeses along with a bright chianti and it was magnificent. Plus they were super busy, but our party was well taken care of. Will try it again! read more

One of our favorite places to eat in Rome. Staff was friendly and the service was fast. Ordered the Lasagna and it was the best Lasagna we have ever tried. We also got the Diavola pizza and it was really good. The portions are perfect for two people. Would definitely recommend these two items. read more

Best dinner we had in Rome. We had found this place via trip advisor and had to go! You'll be waiting in a line outside as it's first come first serve and everyone who is anyone wants to eat here. So the line goes quick, and it's worth the wait. The food was spectacular. It would have been even more magical if we went in the beginning of our trip because we were so sick of eating Italian at this point, but we were glad we did. We got the meat platter, pizza, and steak. All of it was incredible. Highly recommend. Service was good too! Always busy, so have some grace. read more

Fantastic food and service was outstanding! Even offered us a glass of Prosecco while we waited. Great ambiance inside. So friendly wish we had time to go back. read more

We loved this place so much that we came to visit it one more time before we left! The first time we went there was a line and they were serving presecco and orange juice to those waiting. The second time they were doing this as well! The food and service was great! We would wait on this line again and again read more

The food here was very delicious and really good quality. Definitely check them out if you're in Rome. The service was also on point

Not my favorite place we went for dinner. A little touristy and the food was not what we had become accustomed to in Rome. I rated so highly mainly because the atmosphere was very cool and we had excellent service. It is very cozy with cool decor and romantic lighting. Worth checking out! read more

I saw this restaurant being recommended a lot of tik tok and wanted to try it. The atmosphere itself is great! However, the food and service were not good. I don't blame the servers here. It seemed like they were trying their best to get to each table but the restaurant was way too crowded for the amount of staff working. As for the food. We got a pizza and pasta dish. Both were mediocre and left us feeling a little disappointed since this place was so hyped up. But if you're looking for a late night meal in Rome, this place is usually open till 1am. read more

What an amazing spot!!! The price was great, the service good (a little slow, but they were packed so I'll let that slide haha jk), and the food was AMAZING!!! Don't even think about it, just go here. We did the Spaghetti and Pizza, and we were not disappointed. Probably the best meal we had in town and 2nd best in our Italy trip. read more
