This cozy wineshop sells bottles to take away throughout the day and early evening but, at lunchtime only, Anacleto Bleve and his sons set out tables to serve locals who pack the place. The owners make the rounds, proposing the latest cheese they have procured from the farthest reaches of Italy. Instead of a menu, there's Mamma at the counter with a good selection of mixed salads, smoked fish, and sliced meats, as well as a few soups and sformati (thick flans). You point, and she serves it up. There are always wines to drink by the glass, or you can choose from the several hundred bottles on the shelves that surround you.
