It was about a 20 minute taxi ride from the center of the city in a suburb, but it was worth the drive. The decor reminded me of a cute apartment. The food and service were impeccable. Since no one spoke English except the chef, she ended up being our server, which was pretty awesome. I opted for the tasting menu so I won't speak to the particular dishes as they will most likely be different than someone else's experience. Each dish was expertly plated with the chef coming to tell us what we were eating. The wine menu was also pretty phenomenal. One of the best dining experiences we had in the city and loved that it lacked the touristy element of the other places I visited in the inner city.

Vinea, locale situato in via Conca d’Oro, in zona Montesacro nella parte nord della capitale, è un delizioso ristorante che si distingue per l’atmosfera, per gli arredi che uniscono elementi di vario genere e per forte senso di accoglienza che si respira non appena si varca la soglia d’entrata. L’importante spazio dedicato al vino, alcune superfici in marmo e la mise en place informale ma curata donano a questo posto un carattere unico.

Notably, it appears they actually have a use for all of it as we ordered several unique drinks and they made use of multiple special ingredients. The bar itself is nicely tucked away in a quiet corner so it's a good place to unwind or have a quiet conversation with a friend. Like the rest of the hotel, the bar has a mostly classic sort of vibe to it which I quite liked and felt it was very fitting in this context.

They have a large list of signature cocktails and can make all the classics. And, they pass my test to determine a great bartender: "can you make me something with x?" Live music most evening. I highly recommend ORVM!

Prices, as with most Italian wine, are very reasonable given the quality of what they sell. Also a fine selection of accompanying nibbles. Most Friday nights there is a wine and food tasting evening.

Huge selection if you are going for a bottle, including some international selection. But primarily Italian. There is also an option to dine in, we didn't. The ambience is more tavern like (no not in the sense of a hangout spot for drunks!), than upscale wine bar. They had a about 20 wines by the glass. Options by the glass and bottle change on a regular basis, after all they are one of the largest retailers of fine wine in Rome.

We ordered one of their more natural red wines available chilled, and Pane & Olio EVOO, and Salsiccette al Tartufo. The bread was so fresh (baked in house daily), and also came with a spicy olive oil option as well as salt and pepper and a plate to dip. The sausage was the perfect little snacking cup with toothpicks and overall everything went well with our wine. They also gave us the little circular baked crackers to dip in our wine. When we were called we were moved to the main dining area which was adorable. Nearly every table had unique artwork on the surrounding walls. We then ordered more of the same wine, the Bonaccia salad, and the Parmigiana di Melanzane con Ricotta Salata. The salad was SO good. It was perfect with lemon and delicious olive oil dressing and an even mix of lettuce, cooked diced potatoes, olives, octopus, sundried cherry tomatoes. The eggplant was a fantastic texture, not too soft but tender and the cheese on it was immaculate. We were too full for dessert but the waiter offered us free limoncello shots as a night cap. My favorite part of this spot was how fun and kind the staff were to us. Letting me practice my Italian, giving great recommendations and overall being super accomodating. I'd love to come back.

We also had a beautiful selection of Italian cured meats that was perfect for sharing. The atmosphere is exactly what you hope to stumble upon while wandering through Rome--cozy, lively, authentic, and full of character. Great food, great wine, and the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer. Definitely a spot we would return to!

Clearly superior ingredients, including the cheeses of which they use three, superior pasta, and a chef that knows what he's doing! Relative to the wine I had tonight, they have a very large selection of wines where it literally numbers in the hundreds. The 2020 Cesari Amarone I had with dinner was exceptional (rated 4.2 in Vivino). I ended up getting two glasses while dining. Earlier in the day before dinner, I came in for several glasses of locally produced whites that were very good as well and were recommended by the hostess. For you wine snobs that are out there this is truly is a restaurant you want to check out as they have all price points here and kudos to the owner for stocking a very diversified and excellent selection of wines! This restaurant comes across as a very classy establishment as the selection of wines adorn literally three of the four walls within the business. It has a bright clean interior with a nice comfortable vibe to it where any wine aficionado will love the place. It also offers outdoor dining for those that want this environment however, there is quite a bit of foot traffic and cars that go by this restaurant which kind of minimizes the enjoyment of the outside dining Overall, this is an outstanding restaurant if you're looking for a superior dining experience that won't break the bank and enjoy a glass of finer wine, you should definitely check this place out. Five stars in my book all day long.

We ordered an Old Fashioned and Mojito for Apéritif and enjoyed both. Once again we moved to another table that was outside but with cover once we decided to stay for dinner. Cool Bar area and a party room that housed their extensive collection of Wine. Outdoor seating was okay. We started with the Roman style Artichoke-seemed like it was missing something so we asked for some olive oil and Balsimic vinegar which made a huge difference. The Burrata/Prosciutto starter didn't disappoint with mild, slightly salty Ham. I asked the server which she would recommend-Sea Bass or Frutti de Mare Spaghetti-Frutti de Mare (Poseidon) it is. Full of fresh seafood with a very light tomato sauce-delicious! Were able to substitute spaghetti for ravioli in the Pesto/sundried tomato entree which was a nice touch-Pesto sauce was amazing! We paired it with a recommended Rose-Calafuria-just right fruity with 100% Negroamaro grape. Service was engaged and attentive. Make this Monti stop for their extensive cocktail and wine selections!
