- Most
The room is the appeal: exposed stone, low ceiling, a handful of stools, closer to a Spanish tapas bar than a Florentine enoteca.
- Most
The list is built on small cantine, with natural wine a real part of it rather than a token shelf.
- Most
Wines are chosen rather than listed, and the staff will steer you instead of handing you a menu.
- Often
Crostoni sit alongside the cheese and cured meat boards, and are the thing to order if you want something warm.
- Often
It shares an owner with Il Santo Bevitore along the same street, and the standards show it.

It is very small. On a busy evening you will be standing.
What to order
Tell them what you usually drink and let them pick. A crostone rather than a board if there are two of you, and ask whether the middle room is open if it is a Friday or Saturday.

Small enough that the crowd is the room. The list leans on small cantine, with a good showing of natural wine, and alongside the cheese and cured meat there are several crostoni. Nobody is going to move you along, and nobody is going to find you a table either. It works best as the first stop of the evening, before the square fills up.
