Housed in a restored, stone-vaulted 17th-century palazzo, Atenaeo del Vino matches seasonal fare (think asparagus, mushrooms, seafood, game) with top regional wines drawn from its cavernous cellar. The ambience is relaxed and homely. See the website for details of upcoming cookery and wine classes.
