Tridente, Trevi & the Quirinale
Locals and tourists alike have propped up the wooden bar here since 1842, when this wine bar first opened its doors near the Spanish Steps. Summer ushers the action outside, while wintertime is on stools at the bar or in the noisy rear dining room. Sample wines by the glass, nibble antipasti or fuel up on pasta, meatballs and pizza.
The 10% service charge comes as a shock.
