★★★★★2 months agoWonderful wine bar with a huge selection and good quality. Very authentic ambiente and friendly waiters. There is no service at the table and no food is served. But you can buy some salty snacks together with the wine. The tables are inside and best for two persons. If you looking for a glass of good wine with your friends and the locals go there. I loved it.
