La Mescita

With its convivial and relaxed atmosphere, La Mescita (which translates to ‘the pouring’) stands out as one of the rising stars in the Roman scene for minimal intervention wines. Located in Garbatella, a historic and charming district, it sits directly across from the Teatro Palladium and is just a short walk from the Ostiense district, another hub of Rome's nightlife, boasting a multitude of venues thanks to the nearby university.

There's no traditional wine list, but the shelves are adorned with numerous bottles, all fairly priced. Here, you'll discover wines from interesting producers. If in doubt, don't hesitate to ask the staff for recommendations. Angelo, the owner, is more than happy to provide guidance and suggestions with great enthusiasm.
