bottega del vino is a great place for those looking for simple, yet meticulously well-prepared italian dishes with unique, fresh ingredients that are paired well with one's choice of wine - small, tapas-style portions that are ideal for those not too hungry or looking to share with friends are also available.

some mouth-watering menu items include oregano-encrusted tuna with mediterranean legumes, steak tartare with roasted herbs, and a number of tasty small plates and salads to whet the appetite.

the desserts are equally difficult to resist: authentic tiramisu, chocolate mousse with warm fruit sauce, and creamy gelato are among the list of sweet dishes begging for indulgence.

from monday to thursday the establishment offers executive menus for lunch, with a fixed price that includes, of course, a glass of wine
