RISTORANTE SANTA CRISTINA AL QUIRINALE

Tutto ottimo. Però la dicitura in inglese sul menu 'non si accettano pagamenti con carta di credito' grida vendetta. E a due passi dal Quirinale poi...

This was my favorite meal of our trip! The food was great and the service was wonderful!

A nice quiet family-owned place in a hidden corner. Everything we ate was delicious-especially the spaghetti with Amalfi lemon cream and the steak with mustard sauce. The service was great and all the ingredients tasted super fresh. The sweet little pup sleeping under a server was an extra bonus.

Best waiter ever

Absolutely fantastic little family owned restaurant.
Located on a little back street and only found as we were looking for restaurants located near to our hotel.
Antipasto and caprese for starters followed by carbonara and swordfish pasta. All of our dishes were beautifully presented and the flavours were outstanding. This was then followed by homemade tiramisu and marmalade tart. The tiramisu was to die for and you’ve got to try the tart to really appreciate it. Words cannot describe how good our meal was here.
It is a proper family run restaurant with the food clearly being cooked with love and passion.

We returned to this restaurant on our last night in Rome and were greeted with smiles from both the lady and gent in front of house. Clearly returning guests are the greatest compliment and the evening lived up to expectations again.
Starters this time consisted of the caprese and beef tartare. The beef tartare was a generous portion and very good quality. The pasta dishes this time were ordered ‘for the table’ so we could try a few dishes. The swordfish pasta was ordered again along with the gruyére lasagna and the amatriciana pasta with all 3 dishes cooked beautifully again. We finished again with the homemade tiramisu and the daily special blueberry tart. Gorgeous.

We honestly cannot recommend this place highly enough. It is a genuine family owned restaurant. When you arrive and see tables full of ‘locals’ you know you’re in for a treat.
Thank you and if we ever return to Rome we will see you again
