Enoteca del Frate
Located in Prati, one of the livelier
areas in Rome, the Enoteca del Frate wine bar is one of the more popular hotspots on this list. It's probably because their selection consists of both Italian and foreign wines, some of the best in the world.

authentic Italian dishes with French or Spanish bottles taste different in the best possible way. It also helps that the place is pretty grand yet intimate at the same time, a unique combination that will surely charm the pants off any couple on Valentine's Day!
