Antica Cantina Sepe

Naples

LoginSave

This pocket-sized cantina and grocery store has become an unlikely hotspot thanks to next-gen owner, Francesco Sepe, and his on-tap local vino, sold at €1.50 a glass. Fancier wines cost no more than €3.50 a pop, while Thursday nights see mamma Giovanna make a small feast for the weekly aperitivo session, which features DJ sets, live music or other cultural events.

Giovanna's cooking is deservedly popular, so head in by 8.30pm to get your fill. If it's not too busy, politely ask for a glimpse of the 17th-century cellar, visible through a glass floor panel hidden under a mat.
