Cantina Do Mori

San Polo & Santa Croce


You'll feel like you've stepped into a Rembrandt painting at venerable 'Two Moors', a dark, rustic bar with roots in the 15th century. Under gleaming, gargantuan copper pots, nostalgists swill one of around 40 wines by the glass, or slurp prosecco from old-school champagne coupes. Peckish? Bar bites include pickled onions with anchovies, succulent polpette (meatballs) and slices of pecorino.
