La Barrique

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


As popular with local residents as it is with tourists, this osteria offers a menu of creative pastas and mains inspired by what's fresh at the local markets; lunch dishes (€10 to €14) offer particularly good value. The interesting wine list is mostly sourced from small producers and includes plenty of natural wines.
