Il Posto Accanto
Tucked into a cozy, brick-walled space with low-slung ceilings, this under-the-radar enoteca is a favorite among in-the-know locals (including Departures Editor-in-Chief Richard David Story). More trattoria than wine bar, the intimate spot draws regulars for home-style Roman fare, like tortellini con ragu and handmade fettuccine with shiitake mushrooms and grape tomatoes.
