Il Goccetto

Top choice in Centro Storico


This authentic, old-school vino e olio (wine and oil) shop has everything you could want in a wine bar: a woody, bottle-lined interior, a cheerful crowd of locals and first-timers, tasty food (cheese and cured-meat platters €18 for two persons, antipasti €3 to €8) and a serious, 800-strong wine list with plenty of choices by the glass.
