Ristorante Santa Cristina al Quirinale

We had the pleasure of dining at Santa Cristina on our last evening in Rome, and it was an unforgettable experience. The restaurant is small and charming, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The food was exceptional – every dish was beautifully prepared, but the highlight for us was the onion and cheese lasagna. It was one of the best dishes we’ve had in Italy, full of rich flavors and perfect textures. The service was outstanding, and the owner Enrico was incredibly kind and attentive. It’s clear that this restaurant is run with love and a genuine passion for hospitality and great food. If you’re looking for an authentic and intimate dining experience in Rome, we highly recommend Santa Cristina. This hidden gem deserves to be discovered by anyone who appreciates excellent Italian cuisine!

Love having a meal at a place that treats you like family! Enrico (spelling?) was amazing, genuine and a superb host. Must also mention his parents, who prepared the deliciousness we had. We enjoyed this so much we came back two days later. Well worth your time. Oh yeah, the apple pie is so amazing, yes apple pie! Would also like to thank them for introducing me to Possito!

Stumbled across this hidden gem during my struggle to find anywhere else that wasn't fully booked or huge queues! I was absolutely blown away by the quality of food, the Tartare and Cacio E Pepe were phenomenal (best pasta I've ever had?). Absolutely delicious, and the house wine was excellent. Considering coming back today for lunch before my flight home!

It's one of the best restaurants in Rome! I recommend making a reservation. The menu has a small selection, but the food makes up for it. The service is impeccable, the ambiance is ideal for it is not noisy, the tables have tablecloths that are impeccable, and the food is to die for. We started with the Antipasto Santa Cristina; it has prosciutto, salami, baked eggplant, grilled peppers, and burrata with salmon, which were all superb. We ordered the sword fish with a lemon sauce, and I was surprised by the mild, tasty balanced sauce that complemented the perfectly cooked fish. I tasted my partner's onions and grullere cheese lasagna and fell in love with the taste and by the fact that the pasta was not overcooked. For dessert, we had tiramisu and the panna cotta, which is now my new love. 5* excellent 4* very good 3* good 2* It's not worth it 1* Don't even think about it

Delicious pasta, beautiful smoked tuna, carbonara and swordfish pasta. Paired nice with Pinot Grigio on the wine menu.

A very nice and cozy place to eat. Menus are very cute with different covers. It’s quiet and comfortable, perfect for a good conversation. The food is typical Roman cuisine and well-made. The staff are very warm and children-friendly! Everything is just so roman. I really love sitting down in a cool, neat, and clean place with a cozy family atmosphere and very considerate staff, especially after a day of city-walking in hot July Rome. 🤪

This is my favorite restaurant in Rome. I was here every night probably for 2 weeks. The food is the best I've had in Rome and some of the best in Italy. My favorites are -- insalatina mista, one of the best mixed salads I've had -- I love their lasagna, amatriciana, cacio e pepe, their pizza Neapolitana appetizer is absolutely incredible. Just their house red wine is amazingly good. I'm very picky about food and their food is incredible. I'm back in Rome again now and just went to another restaurant for a change -- was fine but the amatriciana is better here and I was telling myself, should have just come here. Their lasagne is also some of the best I've had -- the pasta is very tender and the sauces are very balanced, rich enough but not greasy. Everytime I tried another restaurant in Rome, I regretted it and every time I come here I leave happy and satisfied. I've probably been here around 14 times now, alone and with friends/family -- every timer was great! I recommend them highly

Great reasturant i was here twice, everything is delicous! Enrique is an amazing person and very kind. a cozy place! family buisness. thank you so much! Hila
