One of the reasons you are in Rome is to drink good wine, right? But where to go and how to choose a good wine bar in Rome?

I’ve done the work and lingered over who knows how many glasses of wine at countless bars in Rome.

These are my favorite wine bars in Rome (also known as enoteche) where you can sample different wines, eat a little something and purchase wine to bring back as gifts or souvenirs.

For each enoteca, I’ll include:

Il Goccetto

Via dei Banchi Vecchi, 14 (Historic Center near Campo de’ Fiori)

Best For: Classic Italian wines

Step past the vintage “Vino e Olio” sign and navigate through the crowd of locals hanging out with wine in hand to place your order. Housed in a 16th-century building, this wine bar boasts over 60 wines by the glass and hundreds of bottles adorning its walls. Il Goccetto is one of the most authentic wine bars in the historic center of Rome and one of my favorite stops even after dinner! There is only indoor seating with just a couple of benches outside.

La Barrique

Via del Boschetto, 41B (Monti near the Colosseum)

Best For: Natural wines

By day, La Barrique serves quick, hearty lunches for businessmen and locals but as evening approaches, this quickly becomes one of my favorite wine bars in Monti for an aperitivo. They have an extensive selection of natural and traditional wines with a chalkboard menu showcasing wines by the glass and seasonal nibbles offerings like olives and taralli.

Good To Know: La Barrique serves plenty of main dishes and small plates like tartar, veal stew and enough vegan options to make it a good option for vegans in Rome.

Al Vino Al Vino

Via dei Serpenti, 19 (Historic Center)

Best For: Budget friendly

Al Vino Al Vino is one of Rome’s most beloved enoteche with a no-frills experience and setting with only a few tables and lined with countless wine bottles on the walls. This intimate bar is my top pick for travelers on a budget. It’s an ideal stop for those who want to sit down and sample some local wine without breaking the bank and eating some typical Roman fare while doing so.

Enoteca Costantini

Piazza Cavour, 16 b (close to Castel Sant’Angelo)

Best For: Wine bar in Rome off the beaten path

Enoteca Costantini is my top pick for travelers looking to get a bit off the beaten path and hunker down with locals. This is not fancy and the atmosphere isn’t particularly special but the service is humble and the wine and food is delicious!

While Enoteca Costantini has a good selection with helpful staff (making it one of my favorite places to pick up a bottle of wine or digestif to take home as a souvenir or gift), they only have indoor seating.

L’Angolo Divino

Via dei Balestrari, 12-14 (Historic District close to Campo de’ Fiori)

Best For: Casual wine bar in Rome

Housed in a quaint backstreet, L’Angolo Divino first opened as a bulk wine and oil shop in 1946 and has evolved into an intimate enoteca offering both hot and cold plates alongside a refined wine selection.

Latteria

Vicolo della Scala, 1 (Trastevere)

Best For: Natural wines and small bites

Latteria is a charming wine bar in Trastevere offering a carefully curated selection of natural wines paired with a menu of small plates, including crostini, salads, and daily specials. With both indoor and outdoor seating available, Latteria is ideal for wine lovers who appreciate a relaxed, neighborhood feel off the beaten track.

L’Antidoto

Vicolo del Bologna, 19 (Trastevere)

Best For: Casual dining with excellent small plates

Just a short walk from Latteria, L’Antidoto serves an array of daily specials—from crostini and meat boards to hearty soups and seasonal vegetables. Its laid-back atmosphere makes it another favorite wine bar of mine in Rome and a fantastic alternative if Latteria is full.

Salumeria Roscioli

Via dei Giubbonari, 21 (Historic District close to Campo de’ Fiori)

Best: Historic wine bar in Rome

La Salumeria Roscioli combines a salumeria, Italian deli, restaurant, and wine bar all in one. Their shelves are filled with Italian delicacies like balsamic vinegars, pickles, olives, capers, anchovies and pasta, just to name a few.

The restaurant’s menu is large, featuring pasta carbonara and Roman-style meatballs, which you can pair with wine from their extensive list. Feel free to come here and just order a glass of wine and a snack – no need to order a full meal (unless you want to, of course, in which case you should know that Roscioli makes some of the best carbonara in Rome.
