Good place for a condemned man to have his final meal--that way he really won't mind dying! Yes, that's how good this place is. The chef is a former biologist who changed careers, and boy are we glad she did. Eliana is a devotee of the Slow Food movement and twice a week she teaches at Eataly in Rome. Her... More

We went here because of a recommendation from a colleague at an out of town conference. We made a reservation 2 days before we left the states....this was an amazing experience. The family was so friendly and the food is wonderful! The place filled up quickly, when we left after our 2 1/2 hour experience there was a sign on... More

We had our favorite meal at Spirito Divino. The food was great, but the atmosphere was the icing on the cake. Small, family run restaurant that does a phenomenal job. And our meal cost no more than the cafes lining the touristy spots of Rome. Highly recommend!

We went on advice from a friend - family owned - friendly - amazing food - great atmosphere - dont forget a visit to the cellars downstairs - you go back 75 years for every step! Have nothing but praise for the family and meal. When paying happened to mention we were in Rome for husbands 50th birthday and the... More

Wonderful inventive food and delightful service! A fantastic evening topped off by a mini-private 3-song concert by an operatic tenor (not a usual offering- we got lucky!) Highly recommend!

The food is as good as everyone says, every choice had great creativity, flavor combination and spices. But everything is pulled together by your new found friends, the hosts and waiters--papa & son. They make every guest feel you are dining in their home on their best family recipes, while their wives are creating in the kitchen. The 80bc cellar... More

My father & I went to Rome for his birthday and we ate here for his celebratory meal on Saturday evening. Our research on Tripadvisor paid off and luckily we booked well in advance as the staff turned away countless people who pitched up and via telephone as they were fully booked. The hosts (also father and son) were extremely... More

First off, I love the idea of this place -- but in Italy, the trail from local farms-to-table isn't as arduous as in the food deserts of America. Also, for the price you will pay, I expect exceptional not mediocre, food. In an area (Trastevere) so rich in dining options, you could almost throw a dart at your other choices... More

A family run restaurant in Trastevere which is worth a detour to find. A simple and uncomplicated menu which focusses on traditional Roman dishes. The staff/owners were spot on - and made an effort to make everyone at ease, even when there was a run on. The wine cellar comprising over 2,000 bottles of Italian gems is reputed to date... More

Food is fabulous. One can taste great combinations blended with passion and quality. Service is kind and friendly. Portions are generous. I would say that it's overall outstanding. I love art and archaeology and a special bonus for me was the fact that this restaurant is the very place were two incredibly important statues were found in the 1800s: the... More
