My daughter, a friend, & I ate here on my last night in Rome. I found it by accident on my locator map, it was right around the corner from my hotel. What a find, wish I'd found it sooner! We sampled a couple of appetizers, the fried pizza, tray of cheeses, and a special request of fried artichoke, which... More

We chose this restaurant because it was well-reviewed and within walking distance of our hotel, as we didn't know how easily we'd be able to get around and what might be open on Christmas Day. They were open for lunch, and it was one of the two most memorable meals we had in Rome. The restaurant itself is small and... More

Santa Christina was recommended to us by our B&B hosts. It is hard to find and very quaint on the inside, we loved the wood menus. There was no sign on the outside , just a chalk stand with the specials listed. Our waiter spoke some English, which helped. Our meal was very good except we ordered the shrimp scampi... More

We were so excited to find this little gem, it was quiet, peaceful, delicious, and romantic to sit outside! Not touristy at all, all locals!

We went to this restaurant for dinner one evening having passed it during the day. However we had already had a late lunch so just ordered some appetizers to begin with. Then we skipped straight to the cheese board. It was amazing, six small portions of six incredible Italian cheeses, most of which we had never tried before, served with... More

Ask about the specials but don't miss the steak with honey and black pepper! Our last meal in Rome this spring was at Santa Cristina and it was magical. The side dish, artichokes, was amazing and the desserts made by momma are delightful. We had a coconut confection that was out of this world. The meal, service and atmosphere almost... More

I decided to eat here because it was near my hotel and at the time had a good tripadvisor rating in the 50s. I ordered the seafood risotto as the first course. It was so hot it would burn your tongue. It appeared to have been microwaved. The calamari in the risotto was rubbery and very tough. Next I had... More

Unsure of all the stupendous reviews, everything was purely average, not bad, nothing a standout. Seafood risotto was good, but nothing else was particularly memorable. All other patrons were tourists. Unfortunately it seems as if this place has been plugged in trip advisor and in travel logs, rather than relying on its own laurels. Or maybe they are tired of...

After a morning exploring the forums I found thin restaurant through on line searching. It is a gem. Fairly close to all the attractions yet tucked away on a quiet side street. Other diners were Italian. The artichoke appetizer was fantastic--half braised and half sautéed. The eecially rigatoni with zucchini and pepper flakes was distinctive and delicious. Service was knowledgable... More
