Great place. Great ambiance. Great wine selection. Lasagna was off the charts good. Menus is limited on regular food. But outstanding cheese and cured meat selection. Going back just for the lasagna. read more

We ate at cul de sac per the recommendation of our Airbnb host and it did not disappoint! Everyone in our party was delighted by their meal. The prices were very reasonable. Our server was very helpful in answering our questions about different foods and drink. The wine selection was huge. I wasn't brave enough to try the oxtail but it smelled amazing and seemed very popular. Definitely would recommend! read more

This is my favorite place to eat in Rome. The pâté is fantastic, the dishes are creative and presentation is great. Service was fast and attentive. They also boast a massive wine list with glasses starting at 4€ and bottles starting around 9€. I had a mix of pate, venison, hare, and pheasant. Then a duck ravioli that actually wasn't on the menu anymore but they accommodated my request. Serving sizes are pretty big but manageable. read more

The service wasn't great, we felt like they were ruder to us than other guests, maybe because we are Americans? The food was very good though. We had the lasagna, ravioli and tiramisu and would recommend any of it. read more

Had an amazing time here. Even though the spot is tight it is amazing what they bring out of that small corner of a kitchen, but the best part is the wine. Had some of the best wine in Italy here. Great experience! read more

This is an excellent spot! The cheese ravioli may be some of the best I've had. The caprese is fantastic. The cheese selection terrific, and the tiramisu cannot be beat! Also, they have one of the better wine selections I came across in Rome and it's also entertaining to watch the waitstaff grab bottles that are stores high up in the restaurant with a long pole they have specifically for that task. Definitely don't miss Cul de Sac. read more

We came her because we saw on yelp they had a tripe stew. When we got here they were all out of it, so we ended up getting a antipasto and the oxtail. The food wasn't that memorable, but the atmosphere is enjoyable. We had a violinist playing the whole time we where sitting there, made the meal enjoyable. read more

Cul de Sac - Ox tail, half eaten - Wineries Near Me - Rome, RM

I got lucky this place was only a block a way from the place I was staying at in Rome. I came here for a very late supper, almost midnight, expecting tired/grumpy waiters ready to close for the day and go home. However, I was delightfully surprised with a very friendly and helpful waiter who helped me picked the best meal. I had the pasta with pesto, seasonal veggies, a glass of red wine and strawberries and cream for dessert. Everything was delicious! The only thing could've been better was the side bread, it was a little too hard for my taste, but no big deal. Pasta was perfectly "al dente" and that homemade pesto was devine! Flavorful and creamy! Vegetables were perfectly sautéed in olive oil with the right amount of seasonings, and dessert was just the right amount of sweetness I needed. It was some sort of vanilla pudding topped with fresh strawberries, sweet cream and crumbled pistachios. Aside of the great food, the thing I appreciated the most was the patience and friendliness of my waiter. His English was limited but better than my Italian, so between a combination of Italian, English and Spanish we were able to communicate just fine. My first meal in Italy was a total success and plan to come back to Cul de Sac one more time. I saw some other people having a plate of a variety of cold meats and cheese and I think I'm coming back to try that tonight. Totally recommend this place. read more

Food was good, but after the initial order, we never saw our server again until it was Time to pay the bill. 4 stars for the food, 2 stars for service. read more

This place is a great find. The food is great and and the wine list is insanely large. Unusual for Rome its in both a great location and reasonably priced. Waiting to sit outside is well worth it. Order a bottle of wine some cheese and locally cured meats to start your meal and follow that up with their amazing ravioli and you will have a meal you wont soon forget. Sit outside, accepts credit cards, reasonably priced, get their early if you dont want a long wait. read more

Was told 10 minutes wait, ended up 30, which I wasn't very happy about it. That said, I can over look the wait if the food is good. The lasagna was delicious, and the popular ox tails was outstanding. Highly recommend the place. read more

This place gets a 5 star due to it's excellent service as well as absolutely delicious food. We ordered a Ravioli with agrumi which was mouth watering. And an Involtini which is a popular Roman roll up made with meat. They were both so so good! We ate them like we had not eaten in years. The place is located right in Piazza Navona a long with many tourist friendly restaurants. They had a menu in English as well. Indoor/outdoor seating Tootles xoxo read more

Great spot. Excellent wine selection and cheese/salumi tray, friendly and knowledgeable staff. My wife is pregnant and the owner was very attentive to her needs. We will return! read more

Probably the best food experience we had on our 9 day trip. This place came recomended by a friend who lived in Rome for 9 years. It's a simple (cheap) resturant that has incredible wine selection and even better food. We tried at least half the menu between 5 people (no joke), everything was out of this world. The lasagna was especially memorable. All the eggplant dishes were fantastic. Such a great experience. I'll dream of this place for a long time. read more

The wine list is a whole textbook and the prices vary between 10€ and several hundred per bottle. We came for a late dinner and grabbed a table outside since there was a wait for a table inside. I actually recommend outdoor seating, especially at night. The pâté is to die for and we tried the 3 type sampler. The service is great and the food amazing. I would definitely recommend it to everyone visiting Europe. read more

We are looked for wine store with my girlfriend and were stop in this bar Good place with some bigger wine choices in Rome I recommend this wine bar read more

Amazing fresh bread here and a delicious selection of wines. It is so reasonably priced. I ordered a side of sun dried tomatoes in olive oil and stuffed peppers as an appetizer. The staff was so incredibly kind. I highly recommend. read more

Stopped here on another recommendation. Ordered and shared multiple dishes. Mixed green salad was large enough for 2-3 people. Don't miss the homemade spinach ravioli. Pesto pasta was ok, though others at the table loved it. Overall the food was very good. Wine choices are overwhelming, with hundreds of bottle choices ( no carafes). Prices are very reasonable. Only complaint is Service was slow and we had to ask the waiter to bring all the condiments, which in most places arrive with your meal or appetizer. read more

Ravioli was excellent! So was the goat cheese, veggies and artichoke pie. Huge wine selection .

It has excellent selection of wines, delicious cheese, and really good food. We had homemade ravioli with Pistachios which was unique but quite good. The quality of the food and prices are much better than the other restaurants around the area. Only downfall is that it's really super small. Not enough tables inside and outside but it is Rome and spaces are small. read more

My girlfriend and me went for dinner on a Thursday while in Rome during August. Very close to a huge piazza. The place is very popular - although they didn't take reservations they do have a waiting list system. If you call you might get your name on the waiting list and save some time. Very nice and cozy place for dinner. The outside terrace is packed close but great for intimate dinners and people watching. The food is amazing and very authentic - being created in a petite kitchen just inside the door. Wine list is massive - a treat for any wine lover. We had the ravioli, meatballs and tiramisu to dessert accompanied with white, red and dessert wine. Waiters are welcoming and friendly with just the right level of arrogance to competence - something I'm use to coming from Copenhagen . I would recommend this place to anybody. read more

Tried this place a couple of nights ago and was really impressed with the food. It's a wine bar that just happens to serve some REALLY GREAT food! The wine selection is huge but our server was very helpful in selecting a very good and not too pricey bottle. Poor guy had a bad night and managed to knock over our water and then a few minutes later spilled an entire glass of wine on a diner sitting opposite of us. All in all,a very cool spot read more

I loved this place! Ordered the homemade lasagna which was delicious! The best I had in Italy. I was sad when it was gone. The moscato d'asti was perfection. They have an amazing collection of wine(A book to choose from). The service was quick and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Microwaved food. Lackluster service... I'm not sure where to begin... I'd listed Cul de Sac as a must-try whilst in Rome however I could not have been more disappointed. We were seated quickly and decided on the Burrata to start. When the burrata came out I glanced to my right at the kitchen and was quite confused when I noticed that there seemed to be two microwaves. I ignored it for the time being and began eating the burrata (sadly, It didn't seem as fresh as it should've been) whilst eating I glanced over at the microwaves and saw two pasta dishes come out at this point we'd already ordered but I mentioned my concerns to my husband. My husband then stopped one of the waiters and asked him if the pasta was fresh and made in-house he said "yes! everything is made here", I wasn't completely sure so I decided to keep a lookout for our food and where it was coming from...Sure enough out of the microwave comes my lasagna and my husbands Ravioli. We decided to try it, my lasagna was extremely disappointing, my husbands ravioli was average however our entire experience has already been ruined because of the microwave situation. I understand having microwaves but I was very offended after being blatantly lied to by the staff (which treated us coldly after we asked if the food was made in-house). Sadly, It was a waste of 35 euros but- lesson learned! read more

I went to this restaurant tonight and I must say I was very disappointed. We arrived a little later in the night and the restaurant didn't look entirely full but they told us it would be 10minutes. We probably spent 45 minutes waiting for a table until we ended up mentioning something to a waiter and when they finally sat us we realized they had very few customers at all. Even though we had done nothing wrong it was clear we were unwelcome. The waiter then was incredibly short with us. He provided us with almost no service and continuously rolled his eyes and was blatantly rude. Knowing we were not welcome we ordered the bare minimum food and didn't ask any questions or for anything extra just so we could get out of there. We would have turned around and left had we not thought it would be rude. Still the food arrived and the lasagna was barely warm and the pasta with Sicilian sauce tasted awful and was incredibly undercooked. We didn't expect much knowing we were unwelcome but we hoped the food would be decent. Lastly getting the bill was tricky between the glares and condescending looks from our waiter. He was so mad when I finally asked him for it he rolled his eyes like a teenage kid. This meal was so disappointing and the people were the worst service I have ever had. Do not go to this restaurant read more

Really bomb, great selection of wine. And the lasagna was the best I've ever had. I'm definitely impressed with the fast service and the quality of wine. Would definitely come back. read more

The meatballs with white wine and mashed mashed potatoes with a glass of white was perfection! The bread and olive oil were incredibly tasty too. Be prepared for a wait even on a Sunday night: people know their good! (Especially if you're alone.) read more

Lovely place! Really enjoyed the Ravioli with cheese/spinach and the lasagna. The Tiramisu was also absolutely delicious.

Great little spot just down the way from Piazza Navona. Humongous wine list and delicious food all for a very reasonable price. We enjoyed burrata and buffalo mozzarella dishes as well as lasagna and a separate dish of meatballs with white sauce and mashed potatoes. Highly recommend. read more

During the meal, my wallet went missing from where it was sitting inches away from me. Not many other patrons in the place, only the staff, who denied vehemently that they knew anything. Avoid. read more

Do not miss the beef carpaccio!!! Service is excellent. Had to wait for a table but totally worth it.

We went for late night wine and cheese. The red wine recommendations were spot on, and the cheese selection was extensive! We got the 4-cheese plate with a mix of different mild cheeses, served with string carrots and chewy bread. Taking off one star because having more to go with the cheese (nuts, honey, grapes, maybe) would have been ideal. But maybe I'm just being a cheese noob ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

We were recommended this place by Jen's cousin Joanie who has an apartment in Tuscany. An amazing wine list is the highlight here. The menu is a break from the traditional Roman, with a focus on charcuterie and comfort food like meatballs and mashed potatoes, etc. JJ devoured a salmon and veggies baked in paper, and we also loved cheese and pate. Great bread There was a line to get in that was longer when we left. All of the food was great, especially for a change of pace from the traditional Roman. read more

I came here because one of my local friends recommended it, and it turned out being my favorite restaurant in Rome. I love the ambiance, it is small but very cozy. I came here with my boyfriend and we had to share the booth with another couple. Surprisingly there was plenty of space, and we ended up making friends with this old couple! My favorite thing on the menu is definitely the meatballs. I have never had meatballs that taste as good as this place and probably never will. Can't wait to go back to Rome and order that dish for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! read more

Found this eatery in our guidebook, they have some really nice wines and the foods is rather good - the oxtail and the lasagna were amazing so was radiccio and cheese salad. It's in a tiny piazza not too far from Piaza Nouva, an off-the-beaten-path respite. I think we went to this place almost daily, it just always happened to be on the way. :) read more

A great find in a part of town with many tourist traps. This is primarily a wine bar, but also serves excellent food. They have a huge wine selection: over 200 bottles, and over 25 by the glass. They also have about 20 types of cheese and 20 salumi. You can order the cheese and salumi individually or as a mixed plate. We had a mixed plate of cheese with 5 great cheeses -- we are from a city with excellent cheese, and tried several we had never heard of. The salumi was wonderful. The pastas were excellent. We had amatriciana, tagliatelle with hare ragu, homemade ravioli, and eggplant parmesan. read more
