our best meal in Rome!!!! The food was phenomenal, the carbonara was insane. Thank goodness it was our last dinner here because it’s hard to top. We also got the buffalo cheese appetizer, the lamb rigatoni, and the tiramisu, all so good. The service was awesome, our server and the owner both. Not sure why this place isn’t PACKED!! OH and the ability to see their wine cellar!! No words needed!! Recommending this place to our our friends back home!!

I wanted to eat a really good carbonara and tried in 3 other places as well but best was here. Highlight of our trip fır sure. The owner is extremely nice and the cook is her mom which shows from the extremely delicious food. The wine they recommended was so tasty. It was a wholesome experience thank you 🙏

We visited Spirito di Vino as part of a food tour and, although we didn’t sit down for a full meal, we had the chance to enjoy some delicious nibbles and tasty bites in their incredible historic cellar—an experience in itself!

The wine cellar here is over 2,000 years old, dating back to Roman times, and actually sits lower than the foundations of the nearby Pantheon. Standing in a space that once belonged to an ancient Roman building while enjoying traditional Italian flavors made for a truly unforgettable experience.

📍 Opening Hours:
🕘 Monday – Saturday: 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM
(Sunday closed)

If you’re in Trastevere, this spot is well worth visiting—not just for its food and wine, but for the fascinating history hidden beneath your feet!

What a wonderful find! We ate here on our last night in Rome. The chef came out and spoke with customers throughout the night- the restaurant is small & family run with all locally sourced ingredients. The wine cellar is impressive- you're permitted to check it out during your dinner. The lamb ragu was to die for & we enjoyed the sangiovese the waiter recommended. Would 💯 return.

This restaurant is an absolute gem that became a highlight of our trip! We first visited during a food tour and were immediately captivated by the atmosphere and history of the place. Our meal began with Francesco’s homemade lean pork stew, a dish with a fascinating backstory as it was once a favorite of Julius Caesar himself. Each bite was packed with flavor, showcasing the dedication to quality and precision Francesco learned from his mother, a scientist whose pursuit of excellence shines through in every dish.

The wine selection is incredible, and we were fortunate to explore the ancient basement, which houses an impressive collection of around 800 wines. The cellar itself predates the Colosseum and has served as a synagogue, a convent, a foundry, a private residence, and a warehouse before becoming part of this exceptional restaurant.

Francesco’s hospitality made us feel right at home. He’s attentive, friendly, and clearly passionate about his craft. We loved it so much we returned for our final dinner, leaving with eight bottles of wine to savor at home. I highly recommend this amazing restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience that combines rich history, incredible food, and remarkable service.
