Casa Bleve
While away an afternoon in this stately, column-lined courtyard roofed with stained glass. It's ideal for a romantic or epicurean assignation accompanied by sublime wine and cheeses (mature or deliciously fresh, such as mozzarella and burrata) , cold cuts, carpaccio (thin slices of raw beef) and amazing roulades.
-
Cul de Sac
A handy address just off Piazza Navona, Cul de Sac is a deservedly popular wine bar with food. The extensive wine list features 1500 international labels, while the menu reveals a French bias: moreish meat pâté, carpaccio , delicious cheese and cured hams. The outdoor tables fill quickly, so you might have to duck into the corridor-narrow interior.

Enoteca Carso
Locals love this unassuming place with streetside seating. It has a great range of fresh wines on tap or from the bottle, and can't-go-wrong tasty dishes of the day such as mozzarella-and-tomato salad or pasta with basil and tomato - point and choose from the glass cabinet. The waiter with the headband will see you right for wine.
-
Enoteca Corsi
Merrily worse for wear, family-run Corsi is a genuine old-style Roman eatery. The look is rustic - bare wooden tables, paper tablecloths, lined with wine bottles - and the atmosphere one of controlled mayhem. The menu, chalked up on a blackboard, contains homely dishes using good, fresh ingredients, such as cacio e pepe (pasta with pecorino and ground black pepper) or pasta e ceci (pasta with chickpeas).

Glass Hostaria
For verging-on-quaint Trastevere, the self-conscious modishness of this place stands out. It's a nice place for a drink as well as a meal - you can sit outside and have a glass of prosecco . Less expensive than you might expect from the décor, the wine list and creative Italian cuisine are impressive - with imaginative dishes such as rosemary tagliatelle with ragù of goose, cherries and mushrooms, or pork medallions with crispy savoy cabbage.
-
Palatium
An unusual, sleek, chic wine bar, usefully placed in the Tridente shopping district, Palatium is run by the Lazio Regional Authority, but is a lot more glamorous than that sounds. There's an impressive wine list, with a fantastic choice of traditional local products - such as pecorino , artichokes, broad beans and ricotta - to accompany it. All this and kosher too.
-
Pane, Vino e San Daniele
This wine bar explains itself in its name: 'bread, wine and San Daniele' - San Daniele being a sought-after ham from the north of Italy. It's a friendly, dark-wood and mirror-lined place in the Ghetto. Try all sorts of northern hams and salamis, alongside a strong wine list. A great place for a drink and a light meal.
-
Settembrini
Media types from the nearby RAI television offices adore this slinky wine bar/restaurant; its contemporary lines make a suitable backdrop for celebrity bitching. Fuelling the conversations is a sassy Italo-Gallic wine list, new-wave rustic dishes, and a five-course degustation menu paired with five different wines.
-
Settembrini Vino E Cucina
A pared-down, new-style wine bar, Settembrini offers an excellent wine list and a small but imaginative vegetarian-friendly menu. Inside is ash-wood and slate décor with dramatic blown-up black-and-white photos on the walls; there are also outside tables. Join the media lovelies taking time out from the nearby RAI headquarters who come to enjoy its degustation menu (around €45 ) or its new-wave rustic dishes. There's a lunchtime buffet ( €12 ).

Vineria Roscioli Salumeria
Walk in here and swoon over the mingled aromas. Once a traditional deli, this is now a temple to food, with lots of fantastic olive oil, cheeses (around 450 varieties), Italian and Spanish hams and so on to buy. You can eat in the molto chic interior under the exposed brick arches with their modernist paintings, and the wine list has some 1100 labels (900 Italian, 200 French). The affiliated bakery is nearby.
