We had the fried risotto dish, the fried cod (my friend), 2 orders of pasta and the BEST pizza I've ever had in Rome. Let us not forget the tiramisu for dessert. I normally don't love tiramisu, but this was IMPOSSIBLE not to love. I'm not sure if Ahmad own the restaurant or not, but he is certainly the face and the jewel of it! Thank you for a great first night in Rome!

The carbonara was spectacular--thank goodness it was my husband's dish and not mine (I would have been licking the emptied bowl). The wine, sparkling water and service were excellent and the busy street scene was pure Roman foot traffic. It was completely charming and the overhead cover kept us dry and comfortable during a brief rain shower. What an amazing experience. I'm excited to return.

One of our group ate here last time she visited several years ago and loved it. We are carrying on the tradition. Everyone wanted a break from pasta and wanted to try some chicken. It was delicious. Three chicken breast were served with a small side salad and fries. The chicken had a nice crisp outer layer but it was moist and juicy inside. I got the mixed greens salad. Our server indicated that it was as small but I said I still wanted it for my lunch meal. It was perfect. Lots of fresh veggies. Olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette for dressing. Nice and light for lunch. The inside was so cute as well. Sidewalk cafe tables. Indoor seating with the nice people watching window view. Bright and cheery. Great stop.

Always a great sign for the traveler weary of touristy spots. Location is amazing; 5 minute walk to St. Peter's. We had the marinara and diavola. Both were fantastic. The salami was super thin and well seasoned. The garlic and oregano on the Marinara were perfect. The house white wine was delicious and reasonably priced. For dessert we shared the chocolate profiterole (amazing) and I had the iced tea (sweet but not too sweet). We sat inside due to the noise and heat outside. Even without AC it was very comfortable in early September. 100% recommend you eat here if in the area.

Seriously though, the servers were very friendly and accommodating. Be ready to get in line for over an hour. You know a place is good when the line is long! The place is small but my goodness, they exude the small but cute Italian cafe vibe. Until my next visit, I will salivate and fantasize about the food at Cantina e Cucina.
