Mediterraneo owners Massimo Stocchi and Vito Mezzatesta joined with wine director Massimiliano Caldini, once a server at Da Silvano, to open this elegant wine bar outfitted in marble and brown leather banquettes. Their collection of 60 bottles is sourced exclusively from Italy; among the 20 by-the-glass selections is a sparkling lambrusco, available for just $4. In warmer weather, patrons can snack on stuzzichini—small plates, including swordfish carpaccio, anchovy-topped crostini, and a range of sliced meats and cheeses—in the spacious outdoor café.
