Think narrow space, spindly tables, dim lighting and a laid-back vibe: this is a place to snuggle down and listen to some live jazz, soul or blues. It's civilised, relaxed, untouristy and very Monti. Gigs usually take place from 9pm or 10pm; on Sundays there's an open buffet and live music from 6.30pm to 9pm. Check the website to see who's performing. It's closed on Sundays in summer.
