  An amazing new bar at the bottom of a large block of flats and the latest venture of local beer maestro Paolo Polli.

  Not content with running a beer shop (Enoteca Birreria), a beer-themed restaurant (Enoteca Decanter) and a brewery (Baüscia), he's now opened a bar which serves an amazing 20 beers on tap and one on cask. Around half the beers are from small Italian micros with the rest being from Belgium, Germany, the UK and even America! Beers can be bought in 0.4l glasses or, far more usefully for us scoopers, 0.2l glasses or even three 0.1l tasters for €4!The whole place seems more American in style than European with a huge tap range but the beer and philosophy behind is very Italian and very impressive... Along with the superb Football Pub in Rome, this is one of the best bars in Italy and you'll go a long, long way to find one with such a diverse and interesting beer range! Food (mainly paninis) is also served.

  Pub or Bar Enoteca Decanter, Via Lodovico Castelvetro 20. Open 12:00-15:00, 19:00-0100 Mon-Sat, Sun 18:00-02:00
  Only a short walk from Enoteca Birreria and BQ.
  A ranting mouth... Cosy, sociable little restaurant run by Paolo Polli which specialises in good food and artisanal beer, plus some wine. We only passed through and didn't eat but it looked very nice indeed.
