Fun and entertainment Vatican

"Life is too short to drink mediocre wine", said Goethe. In this bar, this is the leitmotiv, and sitting down to taste good wines from Lazio and Italy is also a pretext for tasting cheeses and charcuterie from all over the country. Wines are classified as "light", "medium-bodied" or "structured", with details of grape varieties, appellation of origin and year. Here, you can accompany your glass of wine with tasty gourmet tapas (large or small, as the case may be). Desserts are particularly good.

And if the idea of having Rome at your feet takes your fancy, sit down on the terrace of the Eden Hotel (part of the chic Dorchester collection!). Located in the upscale Via Veneto and Piazza di Spagna district, Il Giardino Bar offers an absolutely exclusive panorama of Rome, where you can admire both the Villa Medici and Il Vittoriano while sipping a drink. An elegant rooftop that nevertheless remains relaxed and informal, perfect for an aperitif away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The cocktails are very good, try La Grande Belleza.

One of the best cafés in Rome, active since 1944. The coffee served is divine, subtle, mild but at the same time powerful. Don't forget to go to the cashier at the back of the room to pay for your espresso or granita al café con panna before ordering. And the whole show around the coffee takes place along the huge counter where everyone enjoys the precious beverage, neck and neck, in a typically Italian atmosphere. You can also buy home-roasted coffee, a great gift idea!

This is a trendy address in Trastevere that takes as much care in preparing its cocktails as it does in choosing its music, because here you can often attend concerts. The address is frequented by young Romans who appreciate the decoration of the place lined with posters of jazz and blues concerts and film references. The menu includes gourmet burgers, pasta, antipasti at low prices, and a classic cocktail menu. People come here to listen to live music and chat over a drink and a good plate.

A great opportunity to sample the best the Lazio region has to offer. The atmosphere is warm and friendly in the minimalist dining room (tables and chairs in rough wood). We go there for an aperitivo accompanied by a good charcuterie platter, although the address also serves hot dishes, and they're delicious! Try the pasta carbonara in particular. Good selection of natural Italian wines. A must if you're looking for a wine shop serving good food in the Monti district.

We were already talking about Necci dal 1924 in the restaurant section but it is such a good address in Pigneto that it is also one of the most popular bars in the city! The local Romans, young and old, come to drink a glass of wine quietly settled in the courtyard, under the trees, or a digestive after dinner on hot summer evenings. It's quiet and lively at the same time, while being a little away from the activity of via del Pigneto. A timeless lozenge, a little candy.

The temple of Sicilian sweet treats in Rome. Cannoli (cookies stuffed with ricotta cream), savory marzipan, cassate (marzipan cake with candied fruit), almond or pistachio gelati... We're crazy about them! There's a choice of tasting at the counter, where the coffee is excellent, or table service in the small tearoom. It's also a great place to have breakfast in the center of town: cappuccino and cornetto are a must!

This cocktail bar is the meeting place for trendy young people, a rather underground trend, in the Trastevere. An essential place to observe Roman life. The evening begins at the aperitif time with the unforgettable drink + buffet formula. The latter is slightly less provided than elsewhere but remains very correct. The room with its industrial look is quite nice and the establishment has a large terrace without any facilities which, on summer evenings, invades the entire square and the stairs. Good trendy music and a very relaxed atmosphere.

Opened a few years ago as a cocktail bar with a limited range of snacks, today it's a well-equipped kitchen that offers both aperitifs and dinners an excellent culinary experience. Extravagant cocktails whet the appetite for dinner, accompanied by tapas-style appetizers. It's said that some of the best gin and tonics in Rome are served here. The restaurant's menu includes octopus, ravioli with burrata and tomato, and the inevitable tiramisù. Quite a program!

Founded by a Greek trader, hence its name, it is the oldest coffee in Rome and probably the most famous. All artists and intellectuals met there. Stendhal, Wagner, Goethe, Keats, Berlioz and Andersen, who lived above, frequented it. And, later, it was the emblematic coffee of the dolce vita. Today, there are more tourists than Romans there. With its purple drapes, golden mirrors, marble tables and velvety armchairs, the place has the charm of an outdated era that no one has ever known before..

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.

Ricordi Mediastores is a bookshop located in Rome, Italy, on Via del Corso.

Friendly and friendly atmosphere. Often private parties.
