Cul de Sac
A fabulous little enoteca, just off Piazza Navona, with a tiny terrace and narrow, pine- and bottle-lined interior. The knowledgeable, swift waiters pass about delicious cold meats and cheeses, and moreish mains: try the delicate involtini (veal rolls). There’s a phone-directory-sized wine list. Book ahead in the evening.

Trimani
Part of the Trimani family’s wine empire (their shop just round the corner stocks about 4000 international labels), this is a great, unpretentious place, with knowledgeable, multilingual staff. It’s Rome’s biggest wine bar and has a vast selection of Italian regional wines as well as an ever-changing food menu, with dishes ranging from potato and sausage pie to oysters. Book ahead to take one of the regular wine-tasting courses.

Vineria Roscioli Salumeria
Walk in and swoon over the mingled aromas. This traditional deli is a temple to food, with olive oils, cheeses (around 450 varieties), Italian and Spanish hams etc to buy. It’s packed at meal times, when you can dine deliciously in the molto chic interior (think exposed brick arches and contemporary paintings). Dishes include fresh pastas and beef tartare, and the wine list has some 1100 labels (900 Italian, 200 French).

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, 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 melanzane parmigiana. It follows the culinary calendar, so if it’s gnocchi, it’s Thursday.

Buccone
Step inside, under the faded gilt and mirrored sign, and feel like you’ve gone back in time. Once a coach house, then a tavern, in the 1960s this building became Buccone, furnished with 19th-century antiques and lined with around 1000 Italian wines as well as a good selection of international tipples. It’s perfect for a light meal, with salads, cured meats, cheeses, torta (cakes) etc.

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.

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 Vino e Cucina
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.

Palatium
Conceived as a showcase of Lazio’s bounty, this sleek enoteca close to the Spanish Steps serves excellent local specialities, such as porchetta (pork roasted with herbs), artisan cheese, and delicious salami, as well as an impressive array of Lazio wines (try lesser-known drops such as Aleatico).

Casa Bleve
While away an afternoon in this stately, column-lined courtyard roofed with stained glass. It’s ideal for a romantic and epicurean assignation accompanied by sublime wine and cheeses (mature or fresh, such as mozzarella and burrata), cold cuts, and carpaccio (thin slices of raw beef).

Antica Enoteca
Local shoppers and shopkeepers pack this much-loved wine bar, full of frescoes and 19th-century fittings. Plonk yourself at the long wood-and-brass counter and take your pick from the wine list and antipasti, or plunge into the back room for decent pasta or pizza.

Vineria Chianti
This pretty ivy-clad wine bar is bottle-lined inside, with watch-the-world-go-by streetside seating in summer. Cuisine is Tuscan, so the beef is particularly good, but it also serves up imaginative salads, and pizza in the evenings.
