A wine shop where you drink

The Enoteca Italiana opened in 1972 on Via Marsala, an arcaded street a couple of steps from Via Indipendenza, and in 1994 it added the wine bar. Since then you can try the shop's wines by the glass, from more than 2,000 labels, with cured meats and cheeses cut to order, salmon and the odd hot dish depending on the season. Its owners, Claudio Cavallari and Marco Nannetti, have run it for almost thirty years.

What to order

Ask for advice: that is what you come for. A glass of an Emilia-Romagna wine, or from any other region if you are looking for something specific, with a board of mortadella and culaccia. The shop also sells bottles to take away, from about €12 up to collectors' bottles, with prices in its online shop.

Opening hours

Monday to Saturday, from 7:30 to 21:30, from the morning coffee to the aperitivo. Closed on Sunday. Telephone 051 235 989.
