After a hard day hitting the books in the London Library (Edmund White’s excellent The Flâneur in prep for a March Paris trip) it was time for a bit of pre-exhibition grub. We didn’t want to go too far and Al Duca is in the middle of a refurb so we opted for F&M’s Wine…
For £15 a head I don't think you could get better value anywhere else on Green Lanes (except, perhaps Umut 2000). Recommended.
The room is over a hundred years old (as, it would seem, is most of the clientèle).
A sprinkling of sides and we were all very jolly old bastards tumbling into the afternoon.
The offer is an excellent variety of wine by the glass (and bottle) with sliced raw meat/cheese/olives/bread.
One of those moments where you feel lucky to be alive.
Cheap eats in Rome’s premier park. What’s not to like?
Il Panzerotto, for me at least, wasn't the highlight of our stay in Rome.

The best meal of a short trip to Rome.
