Cavour 313
On the busy Via Cavour, Enoteca Cavour 313 is ideal for a light meal and/or a great glass of wine.
Cavour 313 has been around since 1979, and neatly fills its own dining niche in central Rome. The food on offer here consists of light, elegantly prepared dishes. On our last visit, the menu included a selection of cous-cous as well as involtini made with ricotta and cold cuts, served with honey and nuts. Their carpaccio is a perennial favourite.
While some of the main dishes can be on the light side, these can be supplemented with antipasto and desserts to make a full meal; in terms of dolci, we tried the granita alle mandorle, the gelato al pistacchio, and the semifreddo al torroncino. All were delicious.
As well as the printed menu, it’s worth taking a look at the specials on the board: there’s usually a good variety on offer there as well.
Their list of wines covers over a thousand labels, and many of the bottles are displayed in racks that blend into the dark wooden decor, giving Enoteca Cavour 313 a cosy feeling—elegant but not stuffy.
In terms of price, three of us had main dishes, desserts, and coffee, and we had one antipasto to share. Along with a single glass of wine, the bill came to €60.
