Ai Tre Scalini
It’s almost obligatory to visit everyone’s favourite enoteca before or after dining at La Carbonara. ‘The Three Steps’ is always packed, with crowds spilling out into the street. Apart from a tasty choice of wines, it also sells the damn fine Menabrea beer, brewed in northern Italy. If you’ve missed out on dinner, you can tuck into a heart-warming array of cheeses, salami, and dishes such as porchetta di Ariccia con patate al forno (roasted Ariccia pork with roast potatoes).

Il Melograno
A small, snug enoteca, this is run by two knowledgeable brothers who will suggest the best wines from their 300-strong list without making you feel like an ignoramus. There’s a cheap set-dinner menu or you can choose dishes such as bruschettine,crostini and carpacci a la carte. Desserts are homemade, best accompanied by fragrant dessert wines.

Al Vino al Vino
A studiously rustic, vine-decorated place, mixing ceramic tabletops and contemporary paintings, this is an attractive spot to linger over a fine collection of wines, particularly passiti (sweet wines). The other speciality is distillati – grappa, whisky and so on. And of course there are snacks too, including some Sicilian delicacies.

Cavour 313
Handy for the Colosseum and Forum, wood-panelled, intimate wine-bar Cavour 313 attracts everyone from actors to politicians to tourists. Sink into its publike cosiness and while away hours over some sensational wine (over 1200 labels on offer), cold cuts, cheeses, carpacci or daily specials.

L’Angolo Divino
A hop and a skip from the busy campo lies another vini e olio shop, somewhat updated, yet on the go since 1946. It’s an oasis of genteel calm, with an ample wine list and delectable bites. It’s ideal for a quiet glass of wine, a nibble of cheese or a light meal.

Passaguai
A small, cavelike basement winebar, Passaguai has a few outdoor tables on the quiet street, and feels pleasingly off-the-radar. It boasts a good wine list and a range of artisanal beers, and the food – such as cheeses and cold cuts – is tasty too.

Vineria Reggio
The coolest bar on the campo, this has a small, bottle-lined, cosy interior and outside tables as well, and attracts fighi (cool) Romans like bees to a honey pot. A birra media costs €4.50.

Taverna del Campo
A breakfast bar for the campo’s market traders, the Taverna metamorphoses into a hip drinking haunt during the day, almost merging with Vineria next door. Grab an outside table to watch the human traffic.
