Classic Roman trattoria with soulful cooking, friendly bustle, and fair pricing; expect warmth and character over polish.
La Nuova Cantinetta earns its A- grade through excellent food quality anchored in confident Roman classics and warm, attentive service that creates genuine neighborhood hospitality. Reliable execution across visits and fair pricing reinforce its standing as a respected local institution, though the compact space and occasional service inconsistencies prevent the polish needed for grade A territory.
One caveat: Space is tight and can feel crowded during peak hours
