“Italian Wine in Helsinki: Sip Like You Belong at Third Place Pasta Bar”

Wine doesn’t need to be intimidating. It shouldn’t require a sommelier certification or a five-minute monologue just to order a glass. At Third Place Pasta Bar, we believe wine should feel like part of the conversation — not something that takes over the room.

That’s why our approach is simple: curated wines, honest recommendations, zero snobbery. Whether you’re into crisp whites, bold reds, or curious natural bottles that surprise you in the best way, there’s something for you on our list. And yes — we love pouring Italian wines.

Here’s your no-fuss guide to enjoying Italian wine in Helsinki — starting at our bar.

How We Curate Our Wine List

We rotate our selection regularly, based on what we’re excited about — not what’s trending. We work closely with small distributors who share our love for low-intervention, interesting wines that still feel easy to drink.

A few principles guide how we build the list:

• Goes well with pasta (obviously)

• Tells a story — either through its region, grape, or producer

• Tastes good by the glass — no need for a full bottle to enjoy it

• Feels approachable — whether you're wine-savvy or just curious

  
  

And if you don’t know what to choose? Ask us. We'll always help you find something you’ll love.

Wine at Third Place = Part of the Vibe

Here’s what makes the wine experience at Third Place a little different from other Helsinki restaurants:

• You can walk in anytime, with or without reservations

• The music is always on — vinyl-only sets that shift with the evening

• Our wines are served with comfort food, not pressure

  
  

Our team will chat, guide, pour, and maybe even pour you a little extra if we’re feeling it. We’re not here to lecture you about tannins. We’re here to help you find your new favorite glass.
