Why the bread is named after a grape

Wine and bread, together.
The sandwich is made for the glass.

I

We choose our wines at the winery

More than a hundred labels and eighty to a hundred wines by the glass. We visit the producers ourselves, one by one. Some labels you will only find here: by the glass, in a bottle to take away, or shipped to your home.

II

Forty schiacciate, forty grape varieties

Vernaccia, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese: every schiacciata carries the name of a grape. Four families, without truffle, with truffle, vegetarian and with beef, filled to order with our own ingredients.

III

Two minutes from the Duomo, no queue

Via dei Cimatori, the street of the old wine counters. Order at the till, pick your crostini at the counter, eat inside at the counter or a small table. Or take it away.

The wine bar

Eighty to a hundred wines by the glass. Every day.

Here wine and schiacciata walk together, and wine comes first: more than a hundred labels chosen at the winery, poured by the glass even from the great bottles thanks to Coravin. Reds, whites, rosés, sparkling: pick a colour and watch the glass.

Chosen at the winery

We go and get the labels ourselves, one by one.

Maccharley and Tamara tour the wineries, get to know the families, taste and choose. That is why the shelves hold wines you will find nowhere else in Florence, and why whoever pours them can tell you their story.

At the winery, not from a catalogue

Every label was tasted where it is made, with the people who make it. No price lists: choices.

Over a hundred labels, eighty to a hundred by the glass

Reds, whites, rosés and sparkling wines, mostly Tuscan and Italian. With Coravin, even the great bottles by the glass.

At the counter, at home, soon online

Take the bottle you loved with you, or let us ship it home. Soon you will find it online too.

The schiacciate

Each with its grape,
its ingredients, its allergens.

Forty schiacciate in four families. Every card lists the ingredients in Italian and English and shows the allergens. Hover or tap the icons to read them.

The menu never stands still: every so often a new schiacciata appears at the counter, and the crostini change with the morning. Regulars always find something new to try.

The crostini counter

Choose them by eye.
One for €3.50, four for €12.

They have no names: the ingredients tell the story. Some are always there, others are born in the morning with whatever comes in. Toasted bread, stracciatella, vegetables, truffle, cured meats: the perfect board next to a glass, at any hour. Tap the crostini to build yours.

The iron bottle treesince 2010The logo on the wall

Our story

It began with a Brunello, in Montalcino.

In 2010 a friend took me to Montalcino. From that glass came a collection, then a sommelier course, then an iron tree in the dining room holding a hundred and fifty bottles with, at the top, the words In Vino Veritas.

On 12 June 2023 that tree became a wine bar on Via dei Cimatori. We built it with our own hands, and we still choose the wines the same way: at the winery, one by one.
