    Go for wine: stratospheric options and amazing selection. Food is fair: not scrumptious but very well done. Service can be a little 'rustic'. Those guys should drink some wine and chill.

    This is one of the best local trattoria in Rome. Oxtail, lasagna, prosciutto&cheese plate and house wine were tasted, all is delicious. Located in the city center.

    Carpaccio and Duck Ravioli were perfect. Tounge with mustard sauce is a good choice if you like sour. Wide variety of wines, better ask for staff's opinion but dont forget to give a price range

    Value for money! incredible list of wine!!! If you lost with choice, ask for the advice, the stuff will help you! I took Dolcetto D’Alba (2015 year) and it was the best for lunch!

    The duck ravioli was the best ravioli I’ve ever had and probably the best duck dish I’ve ever had, too. The staff were also lovely.

    A place that you have to search for and when you find it, you should give it a chance and try it. Excellent dishes and an amazing variety of wonderful wine.

    Enter and behold the endless array of wine bottles in this quaint wine bar. Ask for a recommendation from the waiter. Make sure to order a mixed plate of salami, prosciutto, and cheese.

    i liked mozzarella and tomatoes. However i didnt like the aroma of home made lasagna and ravioli.only mozzarella and wine would make my evening.

    THE cult wine bar to visit in Rome! Right behind piazza Navona - come there early to get a place. Great selection of wines, cheeses, salami. Don't miss it!

    Great selection of wine. We liked the surroundings, cozy and authentic. Tasteful first courses (pasta), second courses was nothing special though

    A very atmospheric place with home made food and a great winelist. You should try oxtail, it is something out of the range!

    If you don't want to wait in the insanely ling line, cone during lunch time. Glass of wine during lunch is the perks of being in Rome.

    Very small and cozy place. However what you ever taste will be dellicious food. Don't forget to try vine if you can chose 1 from 1000 bottels of vine.

    Rome's first ever wine bar, the Cul de Sac was founded in 1968. Looking very traditional nowadays, it's cramped inside and out, with long pine benches and tables, and decidedly no-frills.

    No 54 is the delicious one that been ever tested and Beef carpaccio must be tested as a starter.

    Meat balls with mashed potatoes are really good ! Start with salami, lard, stuffed courgettes and aubergines.

    For wine, this is an amazing place. However, if you come for food - it is terrible. The food is microwaved and the taste is supermarket quality. Wine was great though!

    We found tastes only decent. The outdoor tables have no space at all in between so it is almost you are dining in the same table with a stranger.
