According to Wine Spectator, the wine list offers 2,600 selections, backed by an inventory of 33,000 bottles . Also, Alfredo Di Roma accounts for more than 23,000 bottles a year. The cellar remains at a constant 62° F, with low-intensity lighting to protect the wines .

“We are always traveling and visiting wine regions and looking for wines that we don’t have in our cellar,” Morones says. He oversees 16 sommeliers , three or four of whom are always stationed at Alfredo Di Roma , including the restaurant’s head sommelier, Eduardo González. The staff meets for tastings three or four times a week to review new wines , and “we must have a consensus of at least 85 points before we consider putting the wine on our list,” Morones adds.

There are always 2,500 bottles stored at Alfredo Di Roma , focusing on Italian and Spanish wines . Any wine on the master list is available as well and will arrive in five minutes or less from the main cellar , according to Morones.

Chef Mauro Chiecchio ’s signature dish is a ravioli stuffed with beef and spinach and blanketed in tomato sauce. A favorite dessert is the tiramisu .
