“ Pedro saved the day! I came by yesterday evening to pick up wine, cheeses, and pastries for a night in with a friend. Pedro was both patient and knowledgeable, and he really made it his mission to help me find the perfect pairings. The wines were very reasonably priced (all ranges), great baguettes, and the cheese plate was perfect for two people to share. Can't wait to return - amazing service and a delightful selection to make your evening extra special! ”
“ Stopped by because I saw their happy hour sign outside for Aperol Spritz, but I ended up ordering French wine from Provence region. Superb service from their staff. I was also given a plate of cold cut meat with pickles, on the house with some bread while I waited for my lasagna. Can’t wait to come back again and try their other items. ”
“ This is one of my favorite spots in Roma hands down. It's a cozy, cute little tapas place with a really great selection of wine. The cold meats and cheese plate is delicious and pairs well with your favorite glass of red wine. The service is really great, waiters are very helpful and knowledgeable about their wine. It's a small place, so I wouldn't recommend it for big parties (unless you manage to reserve a section). Again, I can't recommend this place enough. ”
“ Dinner experience here feels like you are in a bistro in France. Staff here are passionate and professional about wines and good food. Small plates offer rich and delicious bites. It is also a great wine store ! ”
