The best bars and cafés Italy

This "drunk boat" is an institution on the Campo. Open until very late, the beer flows freely in this pub decorated in the American style. The choice of artisanal beers is quite wide and the prices rather correct for this central and tourist district as possible! It is not necessarily the ideal place to meet Romans, here it is rather the foreign students who come to spend good evenings. For young travellers who are looking to meet other young travellers from all over the world.

In the heart of the historic centre, very close to the Saint-Rémy Bastion, this establishment has existed since 1855! It has seen everything that Sardinia has counted artists and politicians. Today the Antico Caffè is still the place to be. Businessmen, intellectuals and foreigners meet here for a cocktail, lunch or dinner on the terrace or in the elegant hall. The chef's suggestions are creative and tasty. The turn-of-the-century atmosphere is relaxing. The only drawback is that the service is not always very fast or cordial.

Built in 1831 in neoclassical style, with a Gothic caprice by Giuseppe Jappelli, this legendary café has different rooms. In 1848 it was the centre of the Risorgimento movement and saw the birth and organisation of the anti-Austrian revolts. On the second floor there is an Egyptian room and another dedicated to the Italian wars of independence. The Pedrocchi is also known to be always open, it is a very good cafeteria where you can bite into delicious pastries, sandwiches or sip coffees and cappuccinos at any time of the day.

This café is housed in the concept store of Carla Sozzani, the well-known fashion director of Vogue Italia. Furnished in a refined, minimalist style, it is a perfect example of Milanese elegance. In addition to the café-bistro on the first floor, there's a concept store for trendy clothes and accessories, an art gallery on the second floor with new-generation exhibitions, and a number of guest rooms. In short, a multifunctional space that perfectly represents the great dynamism of the Lombard capital.

Tre Galli ("three roosters") is a Piedmontese brewery characteristic of the Quadrilatero Romano district, also very popular for aperitivo or after dinner. The rustic setting, with stone arches and wooden tables, brings out the wine bar side of this address, which boasts one of the best wine cellars in the city. Perfect for a drink at aperitif time with beautiful boards of cold meats and cheeses, or to eat a bite for lunch and dinner in a bistro style.

This 1930s-style café-confiserie is a must-see, and is listed as a historic site in Italy. Since 1923, its small rum chocolates - cuneesi al rhum - have been one of Piedmont's most popular sweets. Today, cuneesi are available in other flavors (hazelnut, chestnut...). Hemingway stocked up here in 1954, and Mario Monicelli shot a scene from his film I Compagni with Marcello Mastroianni and Annie Girardot in 1963. A mythical place, run by the same family for three generations.

Latino atmosphere à la Hora Feliz! You'll feel like you're somewhere in Cuba, rather than in the centre of Milan. Among the bars around Piazza Vetra, this is perhaps the least pretentious but the most colourful, with its huge Cuban cigar over the counter setting the tone. Mexican food for lunch and excellent mojitos in the evening, but it is its pantagruelic happy hour buffet that attracts the most customers (especially students). Served from 5:30 pm to 10:30 pm, for only €11 per drink, self-service is available at will.

This wine, oyster and champagne bar shares its kitchen with the historic Ristorante Italia. One provides the other with fine wines and ultra-fresh seafood, while the other provides the other with good, original and light dishes. The place has become the haunt of the trendy people who want to have a drink while tasting good food. Wooden tables stamped "Oyster" welcome the plates of shellfish. Boards of cold meats and cheese are also there to accompany the wide choice of French and Italian wines and the champagne cellar.

The meeting place for the young people of Villasimius.

Built in the Roman tanks dug below the neighbourhood of Castello and in front of the old university.

To be sure to spend a good evening, this disco bar, on the Bastione San Remy.

A place that is not expected to be found in Carbonia. A modern, trendy and successful decoration! Ideal for an aperitif, generously accompanied by tapas.

On the ramparts of Alghero, with a superb panoramic terrace, a must after a stroll through the city centre. Young and informal atmosphere with a superb view on the port. Despite the crowds, the address remains peaceful and ideal for relaxing with a well-mixed cocktail. Quality appetizers served with happy hour, with toasts, fougasses, pizzette and even fresh or fried fish bites. Breakfast is also worth the trip for its croissants filled with jam, cream or chocolate.

A huge choice of pastries and wines.

Overlooking the street that leads to the port, a pleasant terrace from which you can watch, below, the comings and goings of the walkers while sipping a cocktail or a beer. The place is particularly recommended at sunset on the small port of Agropoli. The welcome is very cordial. Good cocktails and a small selection of Italian craft beers. In high season, the bar regularly offersaperitivo, with a buffet to accompany your drink, and occasionally live music and DJ sets.

One of the best known. Historically committed and always on the breach. After its turbulent displacement in the suburbs east of Milan, this legendary popular centre (social center) and alternative Milan settled in an old factory formed by several spaces where imagination can give itself free reign. A concert room (Saturday), flea, various and always interesting exhibitions, theatre shows, dance tracks: Wednesday of ethno music, Thursday of jazz Thursday and Friday of electronics. Go by car instead.

Between the Arena and the via Paolo Sarpi you will find a large number of Chinese bars and restaurants (we are in the Chinese quarter). Julien Caffé is one of the most well-known and experienced in the area. A long bar with red and ochre colours and an atmosphere of 1960 and 1970, a mechanical Orange style. Generous breakfast buffet with a chill-out background music.

Set in a typical Casa di ringhiera, this charming bar (small courtyard and flowered garden at the entrance) offers a lively atmosphere due to jazz (Dixieland), blues, rock or country of beginner or more famous groups. The decor is original, there are beautiful temporary exhibitions, and excellent Italian cuisine is served at a reasonable price for the district. One of the best bars in the.

A really fresh bar (Italian fresco), not very large but very bright, in the creative and original garden: the tables and the counter are very colourful fruit and vegetables. The atmosphere and the clientele are friendly and cheerful, as are the owners. The happy hour buffet (from am to pm) is one of the richest in the city, pasta, meat, fruit, real meal. Sunday is the day of the highest attendance, starting from the brunch hour.

A friendly, welcoming café that has become one of the Isola district's iconic addresses over the years. While the interior is very pleasant, with its colorful little tables, it's outside that the action takes place. In the lovely shaded courtyard, two vast spaces under an arbour are the ideal place to start or end a good evening. In the kitchen, simple, tasty dishes are served, as well as boards for nibbling at aperitif time and sandwiches. A lovely address to discover.

An atmosphere that has something very familiar to the Parisian bistros. Good quality cuisine at attractive prices (Tuesday and Thursday, fish) and jazz concerts, classic or contemporary. Sunday, a Sunday brunch in the neighbourhood.

A former wine merchant converted into oenothèque. We drink excellent Italian wines but also a lot of French (the owner is very fair-play), and we eat plates of cheese or cold meats.

A disco bar frequented by a very connected audience. From 19 h, hot drink based on lap-dance. The evening continues with performances of striptease. The atmosphere is hot!

Attendance years 1970 for this classic bistro, with something Parisian. Cocktails, toast and quiches will be served on small white marble tables with a good choice of wine. For a relaxing evening, but good atmosphere.

A few steps from Scala, the Verdi caffé is a meeting place for musicians and artists from the famous opera. The owners have turned it into coffee-bookstall, where the old books and the posters are there to be consulted and be sold, while the mezzanine will welcome you to eat delicious oak or drink a little glass.

A tiny coffee with some very well-treated tables. Many couples and an excellent atmosphere away from the happy Milanese hours. From Thursday to Saturday, contemporary literature meets in this café, which welcomes poets and writers of all nationalities. Jazz music.

One of Milan's most chic and exclusive cafés, opened in 1817. A favorite meeting place for the Milanese and Italian intelligentsia of the Risorgimento (Mazzini and Garibaldi were among its famous customers), it was here in 1848 that Milan's bourgeois revolutionaries organized the "Five Days of Milan" revolts against the Austrians, a participation rewarded in 1868 when coins were minted at its sign. Destroyed during the Second World War, Cova was rebuilt in 1950 and moved to via Montenapoleone.

A really nice bistro on the via Torino and a mandatory stage between two shops, for breakfast, for coffee in the day or for eating delicious delicious salads, pasta dishes or any type of panini. Nidou and André, the irresistible francophones who manage this coffee, will share the news of the week and the good pipes. Dining room on the floor.

A new address opened in December 2007. The Botega is the kingdom of chocolate, more specifically cocoa from Brazil, the only one that has its entrance here. Chef Girlardo Simone will prepare his specialty, the pulentino, a crunchy flux cream and Giaduia cream (chocolate). Other surprises might tempt you like the strawberry latte. More traditional drinks and pastries remain on the map.

Opened in 1933, this bar has always been a favorite of artists and designers, who love its famous cocktails, some of which are pieces of history, such as the Mangia e bevi (eat and drink, made with ice, fruit and liqueur) and the Negroni sbagliato (fake Negroni). This iconic Milan cocktail was born in this bar in 1972, when the bartender mistakenly poured spumante (sparkling wine) instead of gin into what was supposed to be a classic Negroni. Today, the Bar Basso menu features over 500 cocktails.

Very elegant ladies and gentlemen come here to dance, but also to get to know each other. Great dance trail, orchestra, varied music for all tastes and cocktails very, very expensive!

A dancing attended by a sometimes eccentric audience. Dance competitions guinguette style.

Two floors decorated in a simple but enriched way by exhibitions of young artists. A restaurant, a gallery, a jazz club… and so on. The location adapts to the trends of the moment and seasons. The idea is to offer the public the widest possible choice with, of course, the risk of turning into a supermarket of evenings. Attended by yuppies and some designers. To report, the evenings on Wednesday with jazz jazz concerts.

A place decorated in a very eccentric way. From time to time, with international music stars, this bar, illuminated by an original combination of candles and kitsch lamps, offers a happy hour at the anniversary evening. From 22 pm, take the place and try to dance!

A small, well-managed space with a dark ambience and a minimal décor. German electronic music (concerts) and videos projected on all free corners. To meet interesting people.

A very British pub-pub where you can devote yourself to reading the books of the Manche. It regularly organizes book presentations.

It is the ideal place for nature lovers: a bar-restaurant-pizzeria drowned in the green. You can even buy plants.

A very popular meeting point for aperitifs on the Navigli, especially by a clientele of young and trendy artists and young fashion and design professionals. The basic, but not unpleasant decoration is reminiscent of an American bar, complete with a large counter and a few tables. In the summer, a pleasant terrace is laid out on the pavement. Its strong point? The cocktails (especially the mojito), because it must be admitted, the happy hour buffet takes a back seat and is limited to the classic pizzette and focaccia and a few cold cuts.

The guests of this bar prefer to stay out of the way. It's because more than abundant breakfast buffet is well known in the city. Beautiful view of the Parco Sempione.

Another large refurbished hangar. Drink very fashion and disco bar from 23 h with a lot of electronic music. Exhibitions and various events in the program.

In this oenothèque-bistro we breathe an informal and elegant atmosphere typical Milanese. With a relaxing music, you can enjoy traditional or more refined Italian cuisine, accompanied by a fine wine from the cellar with over 300 different wines.

The very exotic atmosphere, largely green (everything is green, in a kind of hymn to nature), the wild jungle atmosphere, the colourful lighting ensure the success of the Yguana. For a Milanese aperitivo in a young and lively atmosphere, especially at the weekend. The main attraction is the well-stocked happy hour buffet with hot and cold dishes(pizzette, lasagne, salads). Not bad the cocktails to share, served in huge pints and to be drunk in groups with the help of long multicoloured straws ...

The bar offers concerts once a week.

Since the 1960 s, the success of this Irish pub has failed. A forced passage of students loving beer and fine conversations and old Milan residents, it offers a wide choice of beers and excellent panini. The staff were friendly and helpful. At noon, homemade kitchen with a lot of grilled meat.

Along the Po, we meet this bar featuring rock and trip-hop concerts. It turns into a café-theater.
