Had dinner there a while back while holidaying from Australia. Food excellent Family atmosphere just as good. Many locals eating. I think of it often and have recommended it widely here in New South Wales. Phil- Sunshine Bay, Australia read more

Oooh, what a pleasant surprise! A mom & pop restaurant nestled amongst all other in Rome. It's just wonderful. I had clams with spaghetti that had plenty of small clams in the shell. Garlic and olive oil made it a special dish. Next was the grilled sea bass, whole. Oooo, what a treat! Then I had a lemon sorbet that was a nice touch. After that came a limoncello. I lit up a Italian cigar and I was one happy person! It's a great place to have a first class dinner at a fair price. I'd recommend it to anyone! read more

This place is cash only, but they do not do a good job promoting it. It's not in a great part of the city, and the service is horrible. The food is decent, but the portions are on the small side. I will not be coming back. read more

Greeted by Papa at the front we wanted real authentic Italian food. And we found it. Ok, first of all if you are coming to Italy make sure you do your home work and learn how they do things hear. This is true Italian restaurant. They do anti pasta first then second course pasta and third course meat. Desert and coffee or drinks optional after. Amazing food and great flavor. (This ain't no (Olive Garden) ha ha ...American joke You do not have to order all 3 courses if you do not want to. read more

I ate here on my last night in Rome. No regrets at all! 10€ for 2 plates and a desert and wine! Truly delicious and a great way to end my time in Rome. I believe this place was family owned and it is adorable! I loved hearing the language being commonly spoken between family members. Service was great as it was quick and HOT! All the dishes were right off out of the pan and served. The only con was the bugs - not many but there were a few flys buzzing around while I ate. read more

Looking for a nice restaurant we looked at yelp and found only good rates and comments on this one We were at first surprise by the low prices. The place is not what you can call a very nice uptight restaurant but the food and the service were really good. This is a family business and a family cuisine that everyone can appreciate. A special amazing place that I would recommend. We had a great time! read more

I was walking around and see what to eat by where I stay. I guess it's Tuesday and November, there are very quiet at the restaurants. I stopped and read a few restaurant menus. Then a man stopped and passed me a menu. I saw there's a special on the chalkboard, $10 for three courses. I was like there is no way it's so cheap. I was hungry and didn't want to look for another place. The man was selling so hard. Plus it's pretty chilly night so I went in. The restaurant doesn't has fancy decor use fluorescent lamps, so it's bright. I got a seafood menu so it's $15. I picked seafood risotto for first course, second course fried seafood (shrimp and calamari), and potatoes for the last course. It also come with no choice dessert which is a Italian ice/sorbet but watered down kind. The risotto was not creamy at all. I felt like they put the broth over the rice and seafood. Somehow it's pretty tasty. And I see the steam came out when I spooned it. I felt my body warm as I was eating it. The fried seafood was pretty tasty. The portion was decent. Remember it's only $15. The risotto portion was pretty good too. I had to asked for my potatoes since they gave me dessert. A younger girl told me I had the salad. Where was the salad? I never had it and they jumped to the dessert from 2nd course. I was going to forget it and asked for a check. She walked away so fast. She gave me the potatoes and tasted pretty good too. Oil and thyme. Simple and good. Grandma was the one took my order, came out and wondered why I asked for the potatoes. Since she only speak Italian, I didn't even bother and asked her for a check with my body language. She took the bill and money. While I got up to leave, the younger girl tried to stop me as she thought I wanted to walk out. I pointed at the money and the bill which grandma left at one of the tables by the door. I told her that was from me. Five stars are for grandma and grandfather who checked on me a couple times. He did a good job compare to other restaurants I went in Roma. The servers in Europe are not like the US to check on their guests as they relying on tip and can't be screwed. If you happen to be in the city and stay in the area should go and try it. Tasty homemade food. read more

We were excited to return to this restaurant, having eaten there 3 years ago. The experience was different this time. Instead of a kind and patient older woman serving us, it was a younger impatient one. We kept trying to get her attention to order more dishes or get things like flatware, bread, balsamic vinegar, etc. Some orders were messed up, our lasagna was significantly smaller than the portion at the table next to us, and for some reason, she brought us 3 slices of bread while the single man at the next table received twice that (and he wasn't even eating bread). Some dishes were good (eggplant parmigiana), but the pasta e faglioli was not like we remembered and the steak was small, fatty and overpriced. We won't be motivated to return the next time we're in Rome. read more

It was our last night in Italy yet one of the best meals we've had. The service was great as well and the House red is delicious. Not to mention dinner for 2 with appetizers, wine, and coffee for €30! Hidden among the touristy area near the train station is this gem. Don't pass it up! read more

Great food!! Very accommodating. Very nice servers!! Looks to be family own and ran. Noticed locals eating here.

Wonderful gem in Rome. Like the others said, you get so much good food for only 10 Euros. I especially loved the Panna Cotta.

Service here was very good and friendly. There are multiple generations working in this family's restaurant. We ate there twice and we were both very happy with the quality of the meals. The prices here were very reasonable. read more

We were greeted at the entrance by a very sweet grandma. Somehow her presence was very comforting, as if were entering the dining room of someones private residence. The menu is lengthy, with many options.... I had a plate of steak and potatoes (only $9 euros) and my wife ordered a bowl of homemade vegetable soup ($4 euros) and a combination pizza ($6 euros). We ended up sharing our plates family style, and "granny" was very helpful with her service (although she needed to bring a younger person --probably the granddaughter-- so we could explain about "medio crudo/sangue" ---as she did not understand the concept of Medium Rare.) Despite the language barrier, we had one of the most pleasant meals of our trip and it cost us only $22 euros (includes tax) for Lunch. My wife said "This is the best steak I have ever tasted at the price" and I fully agree. The meat tasted like it had just been sliced off a freshly slaughtered steer.... The soup was outstanding, like something my Jewish buballa used to make! However, the pizza was probably more in the 3.5 star range. It was better than most pizza in the United States, but on the mediocre range for Italy. Its still worth the money and my wife loved it! Close to Termini station and both Metro lines and highly recommended. read more

It's Restorante Pizzeria Santi and as the full name implies, specializes in pizza, which of course is the typical thin crust. For daily special they usually offer "all inclusive," meaning a single price for a small salad, pizza and a glass of wine, generally varying around 10-12 Euros much as so many other pizza joints you find along this area. The service is good, the wine is good, but for food rather ordinary considering the fact that you are in Rome. read more

We tried the 10-euro meal for lunch which included a primi, secondi, side dish, dessert and wine or water. The meal was decent but definitely you get what you pay for here. Good value if you're on a budget. read more

Good basic, family run homemade Italian... Very good quick service... Even better if you can speak just a little Italian...

We saw others give this restaurant good reviews, so we decided to give it a try. Sure enough, we were pleasantly surprised. The dad was charming and invited us in. We saw the full meal was $10 per person, which seemed like a deal too good to be true. The pasta were all great - we got the carbonara, bolognese, and pesto. The veal and the pork chops were very tasty. The salad was just a few pieces of lettuce, and the roasted potatoes were okay. Finally, we had panna cotta for dessert, and it was very good. We were served by mom and grandma. Definitely not a high class dining experience, but a mom and pop type of restaurant. That being said, this is the type of place we love going to, and we left full and very happy. We'd definitely come again! read more

I am a budget traveler with kids. This restaurant is really good for us!! Service is good, atmosphere is good, food is a enough for us too!!

It is a family own restaurant. The owner show his father photo on the wall. Great food and great price. Place is clean

The best restaurant I have encountered in Rome after a week. Delicious food at amazingly low prices. I had the 10 Euro 4 course special that included salad, pasta that was perfectly cooked, great scallopini, and dessert. Several choices available for each course. Wonderful service. It appears to be family run. You will not be disappointed. read more

Lovely staff and tasty food at a very reasonable price. Not your typical touristy rip off restaurants. read more

There's only one word to describe it - "disgusting". Horrible food (5 dishes competing for the "worst dish on the table" title), horrible service (slow, no one seems to care about you), horrible atmosphere (waiters kept on fighting)... Do yourself a favor and skip this place... (I registered to yelp just to write down this review) read more

We really enjoyed our meal at santi. It is very cheap compared to many restaurants in the area, but the food was delicious! We ordered pasta, risotto, pizza, salads, dessert, wine & beer & meal only cost 55 euro! The staff were friendly, welcoming and very helpful. Definitely rate it higher than most places in the vicinity having tried others. And yes we saw the lovely mamma and after the meal just wanted to give her a hug. Tiramisu is 1 not to miss, best we've tasted. We'll be back again for sure. read more
