Adesso is an Italian wine bar that serves up some tasty Italian small plates. They host an apertivi hour from 5-7 p.m. Monday-Saturday (with the purchase of a drink; you can graze on the buffet of little bites). You can find a similar offering from 10:30-11:30 p.m. Monday-Wednesday and until midnight Thursday-Saturday. The wine list includes over 25 Italian wines by the glass and plenty more in bottles. They also make some good cocktails.
Adesso’s house-made salumi and pates are a must try. There are more than 30+ types of house cured meats, including lanza (cured pork loin with coriander) and goat prosciutto, and 10+ pates using meats such as duck, pigeon, rabbit and pork. His handiwork is displayed in a glass case at the salumi station, where the crew slices it into tissue-paper-thin slices to fan out on large platters, atop piadina (flatbread) or in panini. A selection of antipasti includes oysters, salads and salt cod fritters. House-made gelato and flourless chocolate cake are available for dessert.
Still hungry? Walk down to Dopo, their sister restaurant, at 4293 Piedmont Ave (only a block or so away).
