When Litro introduced it was closing final 12 months, I felt a tug on the heartstrings: one other former hang-out bites the mud. Rome is normally gradual to alter, however we have now watched a couple of favourite spots shutter over time and it was a disgrace to lose a favourite wine bar.
Nonetheless, they introduced in the identical breath that La Mescita could be taking on the Monteverde bar and I crossed my fingers that it could all work out.
Fortunately, the La Mescita Monteverde takeover doesn’t disappoint. The dedication to an ideal pure wine listing has been maintained and the comfy bar even appears to be like virtually precisely the identical in comparison with the ‘outdated days.’ The enoteca remains to be an ideal place for a night drink, simply exterior the partitions of Villa Sciarra and near the American University of Rome.
Actually, the proximity to AUR appears to have paid off within the bar’s reincarnation. La Mescita expanded past the earlier lunch and small-bite aperitivo choices and now additionally has an ideal choice of pastries and even a brunch menu.
I headed right here particularly for breakfast, looking for solace within the wake of Marigold’s without end closure. (Sure, it’s true, Marigold Roma isn’t any extra).
La Mescita’s mornings revolve round specialty espresso – lengthy stay the flat white! In addition to cruffins, pan Suisse, and even banana bread.
For a extra elaborate meal, there are breakfast sandwiches (I attempted the egg, bacon and cheese ‘eggdrop’) and breakfast bowls of yogurt, granola and recent fruit.
When you’ve got but to discover Rome’s Monteverde neighborhood, La Mescita is an effective excuse to cease placing it off. It stays an enoteca – a mescita – at coronary heart, so even for those who miss brunch hours, you’ll be able to nonetheless get pleasure from a incredible glass of wine.
