Emidio Molinari e Figlio Vineria Rome
Local hangout
A little bit out of the centre of town, this wine bar is perfect if you're staying in the Salario area and want to get out and feel like a real local.
Molinari is more of a wine shop than a bar, with hundreds of bottles from all around lined up along the walls of the small space. Although it's always packed in the evenings the owners are around to help you decide - you can buy an entire bottle or just have a glass.
There's a few seats and tables outside but they're always in high demand, so you might have to settle for standing up until one becomes available. The bar is very down-to-earth and not fancy at all, but a real meeting point for locals heading for an afterwork drink (the offices of several international companies are nearby) and students - mainly due to the bar's prices, which are insanely cheap!
