I had to try this place as it was described to me as 'The heaven of wine bars'…read more This place lived up to its name! Best way to describe this place is a 'Dave and Busters' approach. You get a prepaid card, anything from 5 euros up to 50 (may go higher, but I didn't ask), or you can leave your credit card with the staff upfront and pay at the end. They have several wine 'vending machines' that you stick the card into and get to try out the wine in various amounts. You can have a sample, half glass, or full glass. The screens will tell you how much each sample will cost. Each 'Vending Machine' is sorted into categories like bubbles, whites, reds, dessert wine, etc. It's a great way to try different wines in various regions! If you like the wine you try, you can buy the bottle to take home.They have big leather couches and chairs to hang out, sip, and relax. Ever try a $100+ bottle of wine? Now is your chance :)

Let me tell ya, I was super mad when my group decided to come here instead of a different aperitivo…read moreplace. The outside signs are all about the wine tasting and that was something I was not interested in. None of my group was actually into that either but they didn't want to wait to sit at the place we meant to go and this place had availability at that moment. We sat at the large wine barrel table at the front door because there were 4 of us and I felt a way since I was told to make sure not to block other guests. Then why put us here? I'm getting even more mad. Thankfully, I was completely wrong. Once we sat and one of the lovely sisters came to speak with us, I knew this was going to be a good time. They both were so gracious and knowledgeable, but also friendly and super funny. We didn't get the wine tasting but I heard them giving the people behind us one and I actually think I would have enjoyed it as well. The cocktails we did get were strong and delicious. With hosts like these, I'd come back here all the time.

Craft beer, a list of wines from small young wine makers as well as the classic Brunello di Montecino. Love love love.

Our lunch here was good, but not great. We split a tagliere, which I had been impatiently waiting…read morefor all trip. The meats were delicious, and I savored every last bite. However, neither of us were in love with the cheeses they chose. After eating so many flavorful cheeses throughout Tuscany, the cheeses they put on our board were quite bland, and the various crostini were bland as well. The board itself is gorgeous, a real feast for the eyes. I think it looked better than it tasted, which is why I'm only giving this place 3 stars. Size-wise, it's just right. I believe we got a medium board, and it was the perfect amount of food for two hungry people. The price was reasonable, and the restaurant itself is very eclectic. It looks like a narrow deli/bar at the front (which is where you order), but if you go all the way to the back of the restaurant, it feels like you're in an old Victorian house, and there is a nice view from the window. We enjoyed relaxing here and chatting over our tagliere even if it didn't wow us.
