Enoteca L'Antidoto

Tucked away on a quiet alley in the heart of Trastevere, Enoteca L’Antidoto feels like stumbling upon a well-kept local secret. This intimate wine bar has carved out a niche for itself as the go-to spot when you’re craving something lighter than a full Italian feast but want wine that actually excites you. The vibe is unpretentious and warm, the kind of place where you can settle in at the bar and let the evening unfold naturally.

The wine list here leans heavily into natural bottles, with a focus on Italian producers that you might not find elsewhere. You can only order by the bottle—no glasses—but consider it an invitation to fully commit to something special, like a juicy Trebbiano from Tuscany. The food is designed to complement rather than compete, with a rotating menu of seasonal small plates that showcase ingredients sourced from the surrounding Lazio region.

Whether it’s a flatbread spread with tangy yogurt and whatever vegetables are at their peak, or silky tuna crudo brightened by a punchy caponata, every dish feels thoughtful and purposeful. And whatever you do, save room for dessert—a plum sorbet crowned with roasted hazelnuts, almonds, and fennel seeds is the kind of unexpected finale that stays with you.

Enoteca L’Antidoto is ideal for those nights when you want to drink well without the formality of a traditional restaurant. Grab a seat, trust the wine recommendations, and let this little Trastevere gem work its magic.
