Natural wine bar with creative small plates & chef residencies
"Enoteca L’Antidoto is the perfect spot for a lighter dinner and some truly excellent wine. You can only order bottles from the mostly natural list, but take that as an excuse to try a juicy Trebbiano from Tuscany while you snack on a flatbread with yogurt and in-season vegetables or some tuna crudo paired with a spicy caponata. All the food on the rotating menu is going to be solid and interesting, plus most of their ingredients are sourced locally from the surrounding Lazio region. Dessert is a must—we’re still thinking about a plum sorbet topped with buttery roasted hazelnuts, almonds, and fragrant fennel seeds. photo credit: Saghar Setareh" - Annie Replogle
"From the off, it’s clear that Enotica L’antidoto is very cool. The warmly-lit interior is lined with brick arches and exposed cement walls, all covered by the original beam roof. It’s exactly the kind of place you go for a bottle or two of organic natural wines with friends, alongside a creative menu of small plates. This is a local crowd who live in and around Trastevere; fashion types discussing their day over dinner; a couple in yoga outfits catching up over a bottle of organic red from Puglia, mats tucked away in the corner. The team run monthly chef residencies, so there’s always someone new coming up with a creative new menu. Dishes are made to pair with the wines: there are figs wrapped in delicate slices of lard and savory tarts with olives fennel and green beans. On our visit it was the very un-Italian fried egg sandwich that had everyone talking, pressed as it was between two slices of toasted sourdough with rocket and anchovies. Even if you’re not ordering food, there’s a bag of complimentary bread and cultured, salted butter to go with your wine." - Maresa Manara
"You’ll want to come to this natural wine bar located on a quiet street in Trastevere with a friend or two, as they only sell by the bottle. Inside, you’ll find one room with high-top tables and six spots at the bar that look into the kitchen. There’s a chef residency program, so every few months there’s someone new creating a limited menu of creative small plates. Not necessarily Italian, you can expect things like figs wrapped in transparent slices of lardo, a savory foie gras tart, and a deceptively simple brown paper bag of fresh bread and a dish of cultured salted butter. Make a reservation in advance, as walk-in space is limited." - Gillian Mcguire, Team Infatuation
