Had to write this review before we head home. Went here last night and had the best dinner of our whole trip. Small, intimate, grotto like atmosphere with warm downtempo music and soft pillows around the edge of laid back benches.
This is truly an enoteca, which means it is heavily influenced by wine and has small plates. Beautiful glass wine cellar to boot!
So, on to the experience. The people running the place are younger and very passionate about what they serve and sell. Our waiter was the most friendly and helpful, passionate person about the wines and foods they had to offer. I told him I wanted a barbera or Barolo as we wanted a change of pace from brunello and chianti. He steered us to the best bottle we had all trip. A 2003 barbera d'asti that was amazing! 32 euros to boot.
He recommended the meat and cheese for two. It was enough for 4. We split a local dish of pasta that had potatoes and cabbage. Believe its called pizzocheri. Again, amazing! Finished with homemade chocolate tort and serious espresso, we were in heaven.
Going back tonight as it was that good.
