This place has the most amazing wine, beer, gin, whiskey and they do late night snacks until 2:30am. I wish this place was my local forever. The husband and wife who run it are passionate wine geeks. Tell him, in Italian, about your love for wine and ask him wine questions and you will get looked after. Craft beer, a list of wines from small young wine makers as well as the classic Brunello di Montecino. Love love love.

Our lunch here was good, but not great. We split a tagliere, which I had been impatiently waiting…read morefor all trip. The meats were delicious, and I savored every last bite. However, neither of us were in love with the cheeses they chose. After eating so many flavorful cheeses throughout Tuscany, the cheeses they put on our board were quite bland, and the various crostini were bland as well. The board itself is gorgeous, a real feast for the eyes. I think it looked better than it tasted, which is why I'm only giving this place 3 stars. Size-wise, it's just right. I believe we got a medium board, and it was the perfect amount of food for two hungry people. The price was reasonable, and the restaurant itself is very eclectic. It looks like a narrow deli/bar at the front (which is where you order), but if you go all the way to the back of the restaurant, it feels like you're in an old Victorian house, and there is a nice view from the window. We enjoyed relaxing here and chatting over our tagliere even if it didn't wow us.

I had to try this place as it was described to me as 'The heaven of wine bars'…read more This place lived up to its name! Best way to describe this place is a 'Dave and Busters' approach. You get a prepaid card, anything from 5 euros up to 50 (may go higher, but I didn't ask), or you can leave your credit card with the staff upfront and pay at the end. They have several wine 'vending machines' that you stick the card into and get to try out the wine in various amounts. You can have a sample, half glass, or full glass. The screens will tell you how much each sample will cost. Each 'Vending Machine' is sorted into categories like bubbles, whites, reds, dessert wine, etc. It's a great way to try different wines in various regions! If you like the wine you try, you can buy the bottle to take home.They have big leather couches and chairs to hang out, sip, and relax. Ever try a $100+ bottle of wine? Now is your chance :)

It didn't feel as somebody just getting us to eat their food but rather getting their own honest personal take on the dishes. And of course the food was phenomenal. Everything so fresh and tasty. We may even go back a second time during our visit to try a different dish. We didn't have reservations and they were able to sit us down. However, it's not a big place and especially if you want to sit outside which you should, try to make a reservation. We had the beef tartare with almonds and truffle. Amazing. And the cheeses were so yummy also. Our main course was beef and the wild boar stew (which was delicious). The tiramisu and the chocolate cake were also great. And for red wine? I included a picture of our choice. For €35 it's highly recommended.
