Montesacro

Behind the marble bar and exposed-brick walls on Union Avenue, the kitchen expands the Roman theme with seasonal plates, paninis, and comforting bowls of Mezze Maniche alla carbonara loaded with crispy guanciale. The drink menu spans wine, cocktails, and aperitivo, though mixed reviews suggest individual drinks and dishes can occasionally miss the mark. For a table, the open-front area catches a neighborhood breeze and the occasional rumble of street noise, offering a livelier alternative to the quieter garden terrace.
