Naples
Cantine Sociali is hugely popular, drawing a stylish, mixed-age crowd to its timber deck each night. The wine list is extensive and competent (if not especially cheap), the cocktails well mixed, and the free aperitivo buffet a satisfying spread that usually includes couscous, vegetables and pizzette (small pizzas).
More extensive food options are also on offer, though the place is best for drinking.
