Tips from diners
This is the traditional Roman aperitivo. Arrive at 6pm when the neighborhood crowd is here.
Rustic bread toasted, then spread with concentrated tomato paste made from summer tomatoes. Finished with salt and oil. This is Roman poverty food made with care—the kind of thing Romans ate when money was tight.
Tips from diners
This dish connects you to post-war Roman food culture. It's still delicious because the ingredients are fresh.
The wine list features Castelli Romani wines—Frascati and similar producers from the hills outside Rome. By-the-glass selections are cheap and available in multiple styles. The focus is on everyday drinking, not special bottles.

Get a glass and a small plate. Total meal cost is under 10 euros, and the quality is fine.

Tips from diners
This is one of the cheapest quality plates in Rome. Perfect for a light meal.
The selection changes daily based on what the owner found at Campo de' Fiori market. Vegetables are grilled, roasted, or served raw, finished with salt and olive oil. No recipes, no complexity—just showcasing seasonal quality.
Tips from diners
Ask what vegetables arrived today. The menu isn't written down; it changes daily.
Vineria Reggio sits steps from Campo de' Fiori market, a long-standing neighborhood wine bar where Romans buy wine and eat small plates. The selection focuses on Italian wines, particularly from Lazio and the surrounding regions. The food is minimal—what the market offers that day, prepared simply. This is a local hangout, not a destination restaurant, though the quality is reliable.
Closed Sundays. Visit mid-morning before the market crowds disperse, or late afternoon for aperitivo.
This is the cheapest quality place in the Campo de' Fiori area. Eat at the bar, not a table.
Come here for the experience of local Roman aperitivo culture. This isn't a tourist destination, it's a neighborhood bar.
