Vinea is so far off the beaten path for your typical tourist of Rome that the chef and owner came…read moreout to ask me how I found them. It was about a 20 minute taxi ride from the center of the city in a suburb, but it was worth the drive. The decor reminded me of a cute apartment. The food and service were impeccable. Since no one spoke English except the chef, she ended up being our server, which was pretty awesome. I opted for the tasting menu so I won't speak to the particular dishes as they will most likely be different than someone else's experience. Each dish was expertly plated with the chef coming to tell us what we were eating. The wine menu was also pretty phenomenal. One of the best dining experiences we had in the city and loved that it lacked the touristy element of the other places I visited in the inner city.

Vinea, locale situato in via Conca d’Oro, in zona Montesacro nella parte nord della capitale, è un delizioso ristorante che si distingue per l’atmosfera, per gli arredi che uniscono elementi di vario genere e per forte senso di accoglienza che si respira non appena si varca la soglia d’entrata. L’importante spazio dedicato al vino, alcune superfici in marmo e la mise en place informale ma curata donano a questo posto un carattere unico.

Notably, it appears they actually have a use for all of it as we ordered several unique drinks and they made use of multiple special ingredients. The bar itself is nicely tucked away in a quiet corner so it's a good place to unwind or have a quiet conversation with a friend. Like the rest of the hotel, the bar has a mostly classic sort of vibe to it which I quite liked and felt it was very fitting in this context.

They have a large list of signature cocktails and can make all the classics. And, they pass my test to determine a great bartender: "can you make me something with x?" Live music most evening. I highly recommend ORVM!

Huge selection if you are going for a bottle, including some international selection. But primarily Italian. There is also an option to dine in, we didn't. The ambience is more tavern like (no not in the sense of a hangout spot for drunks!), than upscale wine bar. They had a about 20 wines by the glass. Options by the glass and bottle change on a regular basis, after all they are one of the largest retailers of fine wine in Rome.

Still busy for lunch and at first there weren't any outdoor tables but somehow one became available right after we arrived. Smaller interior with sectioned dining areas and a good sized outdoor eating area. Our server recommended the Buffalo Ricotta cheese with honey truffle-wow! It was exquisite-so light with honey truffle taking it over the top. They ran out of their Rose so we went with the recommended Red-Monica de Sardegna (delicate/spicy- Sardinian) For main, despite many enticing options, we ordered Lasagna Funghi and the Ricotta Ravioli stuffed with artichokes with Cacio Pepe cream. The lasagna was like no other we've had before -must try! The Ravioli was decadent and creamy-delicious! We were talked into the fresh Panna Cotta for dessert-simple, fruity and light -just right with our espresso and milk. Our server, Anna, took great care of us-kind and patiently provided recommendations and menu option details. One of the top restaurants in the Monti area and not to be missed!

We ordered an Old Fashioned and Mojito for Apéritif and enjoyed both. Once again we moved to another table that was outside but with cover once we decided to stay for dinner. Cool Bar area and a party room that housed their extensive collection of Wine. Outdoor seating was okay. We started with the Roman style Artichoke-seemed like it was missing something so we asked for some olive oil and Balsimic vinegar which made a huge difference. The Burrata/Prosciutto starter didn't disappoint with mild, slightly salty Ham. I asked the server which she would recommend-Sea Bass or Frutti de Mare Spaghetti-Frutti de Mare (Poseidon) it is. Full of fresh seafood with a very light tomato sauce-delicious! Were able to substitute spaghetti for ravioli in the Pesto/sundried tomato entree which was a nice touch-Pesto sauce was amazing! We paired it with a recommended Rose-Calafuria-just right fruity with 100% Negroamaro grape. Service was engaged and attentive. Make this Monti stop for their extensive cocktail and wine selections!
