Small, friendly and upbeat winebar

Word to the wise: If you want an early evening glass of wine, get here before 6pm as the modest venue soon fills up with the after-work crowd.

This place is going from 7am to 2am with just five hours downtime between serving up everything from a creamy cappuccino and croissant for breakfast to cocktails and late-night snacks as a DJ plays. Situated in the picturesque Ostiense district, the vibe is upbeat and casual and a magnet for Rome's young and trendy.

The sleek and modern interior matches its multipurpose personality, though what keeps people coming back is the good wine selection and lavish buffet spread at aperitivo time.
