Cantina Nardi

Top choice in Livorno


They've been in business since 1965, so the friendly Nardis know how to keep their customers happy. As much an enoteca (wine bar) as Slow Food–hailed eatery, Cantina Nardi has a 400-bottle wine list and an amazing 100 wines are offered by the glass. It is one of the city's best aperitivo spots, so come sit between bottle-filled shelves inside, or at a streetside table.
