Cantina Tirolese — Restaurant in Rome

A Tyrolean hut in the heart of Rome. Interesting spot, definitely rare in its kind.

The atmosphere is evocative, and the food is traditional, although the broad menu somewhat reveals their 'touristic' inclination.

I had their charcuterie boards as a starter, both the game and the mixed one. Nothing too special, I would say average.

The pork shank comes on a wooden plate that makes a scene, but honestly, I would have preferred a normal plate for both hygiene and convenience. Well cooked, but the flavor was nothing special. It seems to me that the kitchen knows the technique well, but the raw materials were not extraordinary. The potatoes with speck were great, the sauerkraut either. Thumbs down for the apple compote with its unpleasant, unbalanced flavor.

In the end, with various beers and some digestives, my friends and I paid just a bit over €30 each. Fair.

Also, the service was very polite; the waitress put up with us all evening without ever getting upset!

All in all, I would give 3.5 if it was possible, and I recommend it just to those who want to feel like they're inside a mountain hut, just a stone's throw from...

While the prices were a bit higher than in a comparable italian restaurant, I found it to be worth it for the experience. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a taste of DACH while in Rome, although it may not quite compare to dining in these countries itself. They also...

Knowing it was Pope Benedict's favorite restaurant, I decided to give it a try. For starters, I opted for a selection of cured meats and cheeses typical of Tyrolean cuisine. Subsequently, my choice fell on pork shank with potatoes and sauerkraut, and the goulash, both exceptional! The pork shank, in particular, was the best I've ever tasted. To conclude, the Sacher Torte was a truly delightful ending. The value for money is truly excellent, and the service proved to be extremely welcoming. The atmosphere of the venue literally transports you to the heart of the place! If you decide to go by car, I suggest arriving slightly earlier to easily find parking. Overall, an extraordinary experience that I...
