Fafiuché

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


Fafiuché roughly translates as 'playful' or 'unusual' in Piedmontese dialect, and this narrow, bottle-lined bar more than lives up to that. Come to liberate la gola (literally 'clear your throat', but something more akin to 'free your taste buds') with fine wine, artisanal beers and dishes from all over Italy. It's a popular spot for wine and merende (afternoon snacks).
