Civico 4

19 Best Spots for Aperitivo in Rome

"Sleek and sexy even by Roman wine bar standards, Civico 4 fits right in in buzzy Monti, where its black and white checkered tiles and tiny, mahogany bistro tables have helped make it something of an institution. Expect an all-Italian crowd who know their wines, and expect to get cozy with them: these tables are close. There's a strong selection of bottles from Italy, plus a nice range from elsewhere in the world, especially Europe, Australia, and New Zealand. From 6pm until 9pm the place really comes alive, and it's due in no small part to the veritable smorgasbord they roll out." - Maresa Manara
