Wine-and-beer tavern in the Quadrilatero, documented since 1465, where you bring your own food. Open 11:00–21:30, Monday to Saturday.

Osteria del Sole, in Vicolo dei Ranocchi in the Quadrilatero, is documented back to 1465 and calls itself one of the oldest taverns still operating. The rule has not changed: it pours the wine, you bring the food. Pick up mortadella, cheese and bread in the market streets around it, take a seat at the long tables and order a glass.

It serves wine and beer only, with no soft drinks. Hours are 11:00 to 21:30 from Monday to Saturday and 12:00 to 16:00 on Sunday, so it is an aperitivo stop, not a late one. Not for you if you want cocktails or a seat after half past nine.
