About Wine Bar venues

A wine bar centres on wine by the glass and bottle, paired with small plates such as cheese, charcuterie and shareable bites. The emphasis is on tasting and pairing in a relaxed setting.

Italian dining culture revolves around quality ingredients, regional identity and unhurried meals. Each Italian region has its own pasta shapes, sauces, cheeses and cured meats, and locals take pride in what grows or grazes nearby. A full Italian meal moves from antipasto through primo (pasta or risotto) to secondo (meat or fish) and dolce, though casual trattorias and pizzerias serve lighter, faster meals. Espresso and a cornetto for breakfast is a national institution.
