I lived in Rome for over a year and this was by far the best Restaurant in Rome at an affordable price. Right in the heart of Rome, quite loud and busy - but it is Italy! The food is traditional Roman food, (if you want touristy pasta and pizza and immediate service this is not the restaurant for you... more

We had to wait 20 min. to get a table and then shared a table for 4 with another couple. OK for me, could disturb a romantic candlelight dinner a bit. Staff is very friendly though typically Italian in noise and hectic. Wine recommendation was very good, food was great. Would definitly go there again! more

My husband and I went to Cul de Sac almost every day for lunch or dinner while we stayed in Rome for 10 days in 2004. We loved their food so much we have tried to imitate it when we got home to San Francisco. Their Pasta Norma, in particular, was so good I called them after we returned home... more

Our private guide recommended Cul de Sac. She insisted that we order lasagna. (I would have never ordered it if she hadn't been so adamant.) She said that we would be tempted to eat 2 portions each and that is was "life changing lasagna". She was right! It melted in my mouth. I also loved the local atmosphere. more

We have just returned from a long weekend in Rome. In TimeOut Guide I found a recommendation for Cul de Sac. We first went there for lunch and, although the guide was very positive about this place, we were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is warm, the food is simple but delicious, the service is efficient and sufficiently friendly. The most... more

very average, over-priced by Rome standards, poorly presented food, in an exceptional cramped interior, expensive wine list (where we found they ran-out of their house wine & thus forcing you to buy from the wine menu). Oh & they throw in 10% service charge into your bill without asking (not normal in Rome) To give you an idea of how... more

Terrific tomatoes and mozzerella. Great, FRESH bread (it was cut from huge loaves at a table right near where we sat). Wine was more expensive than I expected however. The pesto was a little thick for my taste, but overall a good meal. more

If you want excellent home made food at an affordable price and a wine list that won't disappoint (over 1000 wines) then this is the place for you. Family run for over 30 years this charming trattoria is in the heart of Rome just off Piazza Navona. Stroll in for lunch or for dinner - but be warned that it... more

Estuvimos en Semana Santa en Roma y gracias a las buenas criticas de Trip Advisor fuimos hasta la Piazza Navona... more
