This is a wonderful little casual and very humble wine bar / cafe across from the Teatro Nuovo serving various bruschettas, a few paninis, and various drinks including local wines for dirt cheap. Offerings include smoked raddichio, "salsa" salami, eggplant, mushroom, roasted red pepper, and cheese heated up in a specialty oven along with drinks and ridiculously reasonably priced small glasses of local wines. The place is run by a wonderful older gentleman who's been here 27 years, as of 2016. He doesn't speak more than a word here and there of English but he is super friendly and welcoming. This is a simple place, nothing fancy, complicsted or pretentious. So just relax and enjoy good conpany. Make yourself at home. :) Ribolla gialla, a local wine varietal is among the specialties. Also friulian grappa. :P read more

Cute, small and unpretentious wine/spirit/limited food cafe. An array of bruschettas (both with and without meat but mostly all with speck) and some paninis are offered and the menu has a section in English for the travelers who aren't well versed in Italian. Various spirits are sold as well in addition to local wines. I found the offerings to be of reasonable price and I enjoyed trying some local wine and specialties. The owner is gracious and a wonderful host and, despite him not knowing more than a few words of English, we were able to communicate with the help of Google translate. We enjoyed our authentic small city Italian experience here. Great for after performances at the Teatro Nuova. Closes around 8pm (20:00) otherwise. read more
