Wine Bar De' Penitenzieri

  A few hundred feet from St. Peter's Basilica Right near the heart of the Vatican, tucked into the energy of Rome’s cobblestone streets, I came across a spot that takes something as familiar as a burger and flips it into a completely different experience.

The snowball was highly recommended as dessert and it was indeed delicious. Great service and affordable despite being so close to tourist attractions.

  The food was amazing and they only serve Italian wine. We went slightly before 5pm and there were already groups of diners enjoying their aperitif. Highly recommend the grilled calamari!
