About La Cisterna

Historic restaurant with terrace seating directly on Piazza della Cisterna, offering prime tower views. The menu leans traditional with elevated presentations, featuring saffron risotto and pappardelle with hare. Service is formal and the setting particularly romantic at sunset when the piazza glows amber.

Insider Tips

Book table 12 or 14 on the terrace for unobstructed tower views, and come for an early dinner around 7pm when the light is best and before the terrace fills completely.
