Cul de Sac

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

One of the best wine bars in all of Rome, happens to be tucked into a little alley, just steps from the Piazza Navona. It’s called Cul de Sac.

You can enjoy excellent wines of the region and other areas of Italy both by the glass and by the bottle.

The inside is nothing fancy, and who needs fancy when you have all that wine? But the hard wooden seats will leave you begging for an outside table. You’ll have to get there early or get lucky to score one of those.

Cul de Sac serves up a huge selection of salumi and cheese, antipasti items, pastas and desserts – more than you’d expect for a simple wine bar.

The food, wine and atmosphere are well worth the price. But grabbing an outdoor table, facing Pasquino , the talking statue, while the Roman drivers converging on the little square manage to skillfully avoid collision, is priceless. The lasagne and pesto pasta are not to be missed!

Discovered on my first trip to Rome. Being a Travel Consultant for Italy- I do ALOT of reading. Think I read about it somewhere- and just had to try it. Now, it’s one of my favorites I just know it’ll become one of yours too, Peter. xo

I was in Rome for a few days in early fall and went there with my foodie friend every night for drinks. It’s lots of fun and if you like Salumi and cheese, it’s great to stay for dinner as well. You can also have your drinks outside while standing and waiting for a table. The wine selection is superbe.

Ellie, so glad that you found and liked this gem in Rome! Thanks for popping by to comment
