Casa Bleve is no less than a hidden jewel in the midst of Rome’s tourist hordes and souvenir hawkers. Just steps from Piazza Navona and the Pantheon, you can enjoy a quiet, out-of-the-way, civilized moment of seclusion within the grandeur of a Renaissance Palazzo, with service that makes you feel like a 17th-century cardinal.
This enoteca stands tucked just away from the chaos of the mobs in its bright, spacious glory. It houses one of Rome’s most impressive wine cellars, a remnant of the Imperial age, and with a wine selection to match. Pop in to buy a bottle and impress your wine-snob friends back home or stay for lunch or an aperitivo and some the finest quality Italian cheeses and salumi money can buy. Now Casa Bleve also servers dinner, and although the crowd at that time of night is more eclectic than during the day (read: uppity Americans and rich old Italian guys with their Russian consorts), the food and service are simply wonderful. Expensive and worth it.
Keep an eye on Casa Bleve’s web site for special events and wine tastings – things that will make you go wild, like the recent “Amarone e non solo” and “I Gioielli di Casa Voerzio”, the presentation of an extraordinary Barolo.
