Have been coming here every trip to Rome. Why?
Wine. The wines by the glass are well chosen, priced fairly, and always interesting. Its when you get to the bottle list that your head spins. I wish I had photographed every page and posted them here… Unilocal would kill me, because the list is truly enormous and overwhelming. It covers every region of Italy, and LOTS of wines per region. Want to learn about the wines of Lombardy? Alto-​Adige? How about Basilicata in the south? Well, if you catch the ear of the patient and long suffering servers here you can negotiate this intimidating tome. The only thing like it I’ve seen is the equally intimidating list at the Italian Village in Chicago.
You might be looking at all those wines near the ceiling and fretting about heat exposure. The good stuff is in an actual cellar, fear not.
The menu here is odd, in a good way. I’ve loved the cheeses, salumi, and seafood dishes. Ask about specials, or this being Rome, what’s in season.
Minor complaints: it is often too hot in here, and a tad too bright. This isn’t really a romantic, intimate spot, but more of a friends getting together after work meeting point… prepare to see lots of loud, happy Romans coming here and greeting friends and being loud, happy Romans. Loud happy Romans are of course one of the city’s main attractions, and they are very much on display here.

Huge disappointment. Poor service, stale bread and so so food. We got the 2 house specials the bufalo platter which had Buffalo meat and mozzerrela, penne ragu and we got the white bean carpachio. The carpachio was actually pretty good, covered in olive oil with an abundance of white beans and aragula, thus was the high point of the meal. The Buffalo platter was less excited. The cheese had started to get hard and the meat was tough and not super flavorful. The penne ragu was fine but it tasted like something i could make in the US. I’m disappointed in Unilocal for steering me towards places that Americans rated highly and not places that Italians rated highly.

I came here with my husband for lunch. He ordered the lasagna and I had chicken with cous cous. The lasagna was cheesy, and the edges were deliciously crispy. The chicken was dry and the cous cous was a bit bland. The food was ok overall, nothing really special.
The bathroom had no toilet paper. And I was not sure how to use the towel dispenser. It was a thick roll that isn’t tearable and loops back into the dispenser. It seemed a bit weird and gross to me.
Service was good. I noticed our waitress always peeping at us to make sure we were ok.

Three stars for the extensive wine list. Teeny tiny bar. The guy running the bar was very knowledgable and friendly. Meat and sausage plate is a European meat and cheese plate with strong tasting sausages and smelly cheeses. Ordered the salmon and lasagna .just ok. Heard more English then Italian in the restaurant. Would have given it three stars if they had a bigger bar. FYI — if they are full, they are full. There is no 20 minute wait.

Una pequeña decepción la que nos llevamos con este local tan mono con sus columnas vistas y su infinitud de botellas de vino. No sé si era una noche particularmente complicada (estaba todo lleno) o si las vacaciones de verano les estaban afectando a nivel de personal, pero fueron lentos hasta la extenuación. Cuando tienes así el restaurante, no parece muy procedente que te pongas a hacer monerías y enseñar a la gente tu dominio de la pértiga cazadora de botellas mientras están esperando como agua de mayo su alimentación urgente.
Por otra parte, la comida no era nada del otro mundo: el mismo plato de fiambres que puedes comer en casi cualquier sitio, una lasaña normalita, un ragú de ternera correcto… Y el café, mejor en otro sitio, que aquí es un torrefacto requemado que casi te mata al tragarlo.
Lo dicho, aceptable, pero no para tirar cohetes.

ANOTHER AMAZING PLACE IN MONTI
Seriously, one might never know about this place if not for Unilocal.Hidden behind a façade resembling a Strawberry Hill-​selling liquor store, sits what I consider a high-​quality restaurant. Cavour 313 offers unique dishes with unique flavors that left me wanting more the next evening, but they were not open.
You’ll need a reservation.
The house red is excellent — some type of Syrah from local vineyards (wish I had gotten the name of it).
The service was super.

Interior was appealing, food & service okay.
Impressive wine selection and that’s the highlight. We ordered the cheese plate to start. 2 of the 4 cheeses were tasty, other 2 I had to smother in honey to lessen the displeasing flavor.
I don’t mind being interrupted on the street by guys asking if we want to buy roses, but in a nice quiet restaurant it’s a bit irritating, especially in a big busy city such as Rome, where you are constantly being hassled to purchase items. Dinner inside a restaurant is meant to be a relaxing escape from the busy city you spent the day in.
We ordered the lasagna, which was pretty good. We also ordered the cannelloni. Cannelloni was super heavy & way too rich. I could not take more than 2 bites. Very disappointing. I politely expressed my opinion to one server only to receive a shoulder shrug & then be completely ignored by the other server.
The menu was very small & the servers seemed to be disgruntled. Oh and another rose seller man came by towards the ends of our meal. This guy had wilted flowers & said his family was hungry. I appreciate his work ethic but not in this environment.

Wth these reviews I had decent expectations. I have found great places using Unilocal with mostly locals.
The food was pretty good not great. The wine menu is outstanding. The reason for the review is honestly the service and attitude was just so poor it really brought the night down. The lasagne was great, but the cannelloni was super heavy with very greasy cheese (very American almost). My girlfriend didn’t eat it. No big deal. Waitress asked if we didn’t like. We said it was a bit heavy and greasy. Oh well we ordered it. Most of the time they at least offer a desert or a espresso on the house if the meal wasn’t enjoyed. She simply shrugged her shoulders with «oh well look» and that was that.
I believe it’s family owned and the two women working today just seemed so stressed out. I speak Italian so it’s not like I am an awful tourist asking for French fries and hamburgers. But smile a bit or at least look like you are not treading through pure hell bringing out plates. It really killed the vibes and other tourists/​Patrons mentioned the same thing.
I have been to Rome 6 times. This is no gem by any means. Just a great wine place that happens to serve sub par food as well.

This place was recommended in both mine and my friend’s travel books, so we decided to make a stop. This is the BEST food we had in Italy and probably some of the best service we have ever had in our lives. We walk in and the waiter asks «Do you speak English?» We said yes and he proceeded to hand us menus in English. My friend heard him ask someone else «Do you speak French» so I would assume they have menus for several different languages, which is really great.
My friend and I were split on what to get. She wanted carpaccio, I was split between lasagna and cous cous. Our waiter was extremely accommodating. He recommended carpaccio for her, and said if she didn’t like it, he’d bring her something else, no charge. As for me, since I couldn’t decide (and neither could he), he brought me «small» (they were rather large) portions of each, and charged me for only one.
The service doesn’t stop here, but we also asked for wine recommendations. He brought out 2 wines, with 4 glasses, so we each could try. We picked one, and at the end of the meal discovered that it was only 4 Euro per glass. I really appreciated this; he could have taken advantage of us American tourists by bringing us out glasses that were more expensive than our meal, but he gave us the cheap, delicious stuff instead.
As for the food, the lasagna was amazing. Best I have ever had. I don’t know what it was (maybe the meat sauce), but it was sweet. My friend ended up eating half of my plate. The cous cous was very good as well. The appearance of it was very appetizing as well.
If you’re looking for an inexpensive, amazing Italian meal with great service, go here.
Oh, and they also give you bread for free.

Four stars for the great service, atmosphere, and appetizers. We came in for lunch after a long morning at the Colosseum, Forum, and Palatine Hill, so we were pretty hungry. Their cold cuts platter with a whole assortment of meats and cheese was delicious, and served with good bread as well. This platter was so huge that all of us weren’t hungry by the time our main course arrived (which was just as well, since it was a wait between the two courses), but the waiter kept us entertained by answering our numerous questions about the area and explaining a little about the history of the restaurant.
I had the pork loin with pistachio nuts and leek, and though I wasn’t wow-​ed by the meal itself, the crust with pistachio nuts was pretty damn impressive (and unique, though I noticed using pistachio in Rome as part of the meal isn’t unheard of) and gave the food a nice texture and taste. My dad had the salmon, which was okay as well. My mom made the best choice of all and ordered this fish filet, which came with the skin that was perfectly crispy and flavorful.

Ordered beers and sliced meats. Really good small cozy place. Large wine selection here. Its more like a small eats/​tapas place. Came late at 9:45pm, the waiter and waitress was great. I practiced saying a few Italian phrases with them. Very friendly staff! Service was great as I noticed they kept checking to see if anyone needed anything sitting in the back room frequently.

After reading recommendations from Rick Steves and Unilocal we decided to have lunch at Cavour 313. What a great little hidden gem!
This wine bar is very cozy and has a great collection of wines at very reasonable prices. This restaurant is tucked away from the nearby tourist traps yet it is conveniently a few blocks from the Colisseum and Forum.
The lasagna didn’t hold a candle to my mom’s, but the antipasto platter was great. We could hardly believe how cheap our lunch was! Two lasagnas, antipasto platter, a bowl of soup and a bottle of wine was less than 30 euros.

I was staying in the Monti area and found this enoteca on Rick Steve’s list of recommendation.
Cavour 313 is so cool.
They store their wine in the rafters above the restaurant level and use a cherry picker like pole to pluck the bottles when ordered.
I showed up for dinner and ordered the Piatto Del Giorno (a pasta dish = 12 euros) and an insalata (7 euros). The food was good. They serve yummy country bread which the waitress slices and grabs out of an old-​fashioned wooden drawer bin.
The wait staff can get busy and pass you by so you have to flag them down to get your bill. When I went out to pay the bill, the owner was manning the cash register. We chatted about wine for a while. His knowledge about pairing wine with food was wonderful and this was really such a pleasant experience.
Cavour 313 has a very chill vibe. The food is good. The people are nice. If you’re in the Monti neighborhood of Rome and want a glass of wine, check this place out. You’ll have a fine time.

We were let down by Cavour 313. Everything was fine, but based on previous reviews we expected greatness, and that we did not find here. I might have given it 4 stars, but they charged a cover. They still do that in Italy?

If you love the hole-​in-​wall experience with locals and no tourists, this is your jam! It’s small, so make a ressie for dinner. But stroll on in for lunch and spend two hours eating amazing food and talking with your hands like all Italian do.
It’s near the Colosseum but away from the tourist traps.
Prego!

Finally found it. Another site had this place with a different name and we missed it and ended up dining elsewhere. After dinner while wondering around we finally found this place. Great selection of wine with a wonderfully old-​school ambiance. The better vintages are kept up in the rafters and when ordered, the waitstaff use a grabber to get down the appropriate bottles.
Was really surprised that tour groups frequent this place.
Wished we could have tried more of the menu but having already eaten we stuck with a mixed prosciutto platter and a mixed cheese platter with a fabulous bottle of Valpolicella to wash it down. A nice pistachio ice cream with black pepper finished us off.

I highly recommend that anyone staying or visiting the area near the Colosseum stop by this place for a small dinner.
Their wine selection is superb, the food is absolutely fantastic and reasonably priced as well. They have daily menu selections, as well as a set menu of small and larger plates. It’s definitely one of the best meals we had in Rome for the price.
The service is friendly even for us tourists, even if it was a bit slow at times. We got great recommendations on wine as well as a small lesson about «Grappa» from our servers.
The décor and seating is rustic but felt intimate and cozy.

Der Service war nett und freundlich.

Zu der Speisekarte kann ich leider nichts sagen, da ich mich nur mit dem Studium der ausführlichen Weinkarte und dem daran anschließenden Genuss beschäftigt habe.
Ein Schnäppchen kann man hier nicht unbedingt machen, dafür aber köstlichen Wein mitten in Rom genießen!
Man sitzt an recht kleinen, dunklen Holztischchen und wird von sehr freundlichem Personal bedient, welches zu unserem Erstaunen in Sekundenschnelle den aus mehreren hundert Weinen ausgewählten Tropfen zu servieren vermag.
Urwüchsig-​originell, und für eine gemütliche Sightseeing-​Erholungspause vorbildlich geeignet!

Auf die Empfehlung des Reiseführers haben wir diese kleine Weinstube aufgesucht, die man nur findet, wenn man die genaue Adresse kennt (welche sie ja glücklicherweise passend im Namen befindet). Zwei Minuten Fußweg vom Forum Romanum und man befindet sich in einer urigen Vinothek, in welche sich wohl nur gelegentlich Touristen verirren. Das Highlight ist die Weinkarte, es gibt geschätzt mindestens 300 verschiedene Rotweine allein aus Italien. Wir haben uns dann für eine Flasche Shiraz für knapp 15 EUR entschieden und wurden nicht enttäuscht kleine Knabbereien waren inklusive. Ein ausgezeichneter Rotwein und der darauffolgende Besuch des Forum Romanums erfolgte um einiges leichtfüßiger!!!

Sublime, and it isn’t just the wine talking. Enoteca Cavour 313 has been here for over a decade and remains a firm favourite with the cognoscenti.
The food specialties are just divine and include braised beef in anchovy sauce, pork with hazelnut and honey, marinated fish, carpaccio in dozens of ways, spinach salad wih pears and herbs, carrot salad with parsley, peppery rocket and walnuts, cheeses by the dozen. .. .. you get the picture, this is no pizza/​pasta joint.
The interior is essentially a wine shop decked out like a Charles Rennie Mackintosh interior with the wine bottles suspended above you. The food is largely organic and the menu is divided into regional specialities, the better to pair with wine you see!
I’ve been coming here for at least 12 years now and the magic hasn’t faded.

In vino veritas
Une «enoteca» à deux pas du Colysée et dei Fori Imperiali. L’accueil est sympa et le cadre très chaleureux avec des centaines de bouteilles qui trônent au dessus de vos têtes De petits plats du jour” très élaborés” vous sont proposés (8 à 12 euros). La cartes des vins est complète et surprenante. Les vins au verre sont divins (un Etna superieur, un rosso conero…) de 3 à 6 euros. Nous avons testé les canelonni «provolone, chicorée et anchois»: un régal ! Le plateau de fromage est intéressant, et les salades délicieuses. Une très bonne adresse avec une cuisine audacieuse et une ambiance chaleureuse ! De quoi passer une agréable soirée après la visite de la ville éternelle. Salute !

Die Enoteca Cavour 313 ist ein sehr gemütliches Lokal, mit viel Holz und netter Atmosphäre. Vor allem aber beeindruckt es durch das überwältigende Weinangebot: 1100 unterschiedliche Etiketten stehen zur Wahl — meist italienische, aber auch französische, kalifornische oder australische Rebsorten. Besonders lecker zu einem guten Glas Wein sind die Käse– und Wurst-​Antipasti. Im Cavour trifft sich fast ausschließlich einheimisches Publikum, darunter auch mal bekannte Filmregisseure wie Monicelli.

Cavour 313
J’ai eu le plaisir de découvrir ce restaurant, du moins ce bar à vin au mois de mai. Il s’appelle à présent le «cavour 313», et se situe à 2 pas du colisée. Ambiance feutrée, exposition hallucinante de plusieurs centaines de bouteilles de vin, toutes disposées sur des poutres juste au dessus des tables… Un large choix de vin donc… concernant les plats, il s’agit plus d’assortiments de charcuterie ou fromages (mais ils ont aussi des plats du jour alléchants). Les carpaccio y sont divins, frais et légers ! Les viandes de boeufs séchées à tomber par terre sans parler des salades et évidement des vins ! J’ai trouvé le rapport qualité prix trés correct… A tester absolument sans hésiter !!!

Enoteca, ca veut dire ce que ca veut dire; un bar à vins
Attention, il né s agit donc pas réellement d’un restaurant bien qu on puisse y manger, mais plutot d’un bar à vins. Nous avons vu plusieurs touristes y rentrer et en ressortir apres avoir vu la carte, surement pas décu de la qualité proposé, mais de ce qu’il y a de proposé. Il y a meme pas 10 plats proposés alors qu’il y a plus d’une centaine de vins à choisir. J’y ai gouté d’excellents vins, et cela peut s’accompagner d’assiettes de viandes séchés, du vrai jambon italien ou alors, de plats végétariens, avec des oignons cuits, des champignons, de la tomate séchée…etc… Un excellent apéritif avec des sortes de tapas en fait. Si vous y allez pour ca, là vous serez servis à votre juste attente.
