Why every schiacciata is named after a grape

Wine and schiacciata together.
The schiacciata is made for the glass.

I

We choose our wines at the winery

More than a hundred labels and eighty to a hundred wines by the glass. We visit the producers ourselves, one by one: the result is an exclusive selection of sought-after, fine labels. By the glass, in a bottle to take away, or shipped to your home.

II

Forty schiacciate, forty grape varieties

Vernaccia, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese: every schiacciata carries the name of a grape. With truffle, without truffle, vegetarian and with beef, all filled to order with quality ingredients.

III

Two minutes from the Duomo, no queue

Via dei Cimatori, the street of the old wine counters. Order at the till, pick your crostini at the counter, eat inside or at the counter. Or take it away.

The wine bar

Every day. Eighty to a hundred wines by the glass.

Here wine and schiacciata walk together, but wine comes first: it is poured by the glass even from the important bottles, thanks to Coravin. Reds, whites, rosés, sparkling: pick a colour and watch the glass.

Chosen at the winery

We choose the labels ourselves, one by one.

Maccharley and Tamara tour the wineries, get to know the producers and their families, taste and choose. They attend the most important events and previews, so the shelves hold an exclusive selection of sought-after labels, and whoever pours them can tell you their story.

At the winery, not from a catalogue

Every label was tasted where it is made, with the people who make it. No price lists: choices.

Over a hundred labels, eighty to a hundred by the glass

Reds, whites, rosés and sparkling wines, mostly Tuscan and Italian. With Coravin, even the great bottles by the glass.

At the counter, at home, soon online

Take the bottle you loved with you, or let us ship it home. Soon you will find it online too.

The schiacciate

Each named after a grape variety,
with its carefully selected, top-quality ingredients.

Forty schiacciate divided into four families. Each one lists its ingredients and allergens. Hover or tap the icons to read them.

The menu never stands still: every so often a new schiacciata appears at the counter and the crostini can change every morning. Regulars always find something new to discover.

The crostini counter

Choose them by eye.
One for € 3.50, four for € 12.

They have no names: the ingredients tell the story. Some are always there, others are born in the morning with whatever comes in. Toasted bread, stracciatella, vegetables, truffle, cured meats: the perfect board next to a glass, at any hour. Tap the crostini to build yours.

Today's new one

Every day a new crostino is born, made with what comes in that morning. Drop by and discover today's: you'll find it in the window, never on the menu.

Today's mixPut together on the spot, with what we have today. Ask at the counter: we make it for 4, 6 or 8.Made up at the counter · not selectable here
The iron bottle treeThe logo on the wall

Our story

It began with a Brunello, in Montalcino.

In 2010 a friend took me to Montalcino. From that trip came first a collection, then a sommelier course, then an iron tree in the dining room holding a hundred and fifty bottles, with the words In Vino Veritas written above it.

On 12 June 2023 that tree became a wine bar on Via dei Cimatori. We built it with our own hands, and we still choose the wines the same way: going from winery to winery, one by one.
