Melike Akan

Really cool place to discover. The decoration is unique and tasty. Food for the aperativo is so vary, you definetely find something you like in that much of food option. Aperol spritz was 8€, not exp.

Ben Taylor

One of the most popular places for aperitivo in the city . If there are no seats then you can sit along the wall beside. Just be prepared to be hassled by street vendors.

Simran Kalra

Went with Param on last night in Rome! Right across from lake ! Low key with great outdoor. Bought drink inside and sat on the ledge in piazza! Great way to end the trip!

Timea Vegh

1 of the best cocktail bars I've been2. Do yourself a favour and allow the barman (I could say artist ) to make u something custom,€10. Music is really enjoyable, mix of hiphop , dance , upbeat sounds.

dankkka sijerkovic

Definitely the best aperitivo in Rome! Great service and variety of buffet food . Vegetarian and vegan meals , cocktails -very crowded but ist worth it

Madai Lama

Cool place with a great mood in one of the most representatives squares of Trastevere, Piazza Trilussa. Enjoy the great variety of their aperitivo at the cool interiors or outside with the crowd.

Sandra Mocho Lizcano

Great place to enjoy a typical Roman ‘aperitivo ’. The food is a selfservice buffet with food such as tomato salad , spelt salad , hummus , garbanzo salad … Staff is super friendly and prices are worthy!

Guro Mikkelsen

Good cocktails , they have all the classics and their own creations. Have a drink and go find a place on the square in front of the bar .

Natalie K

Really awesome cocktail bar . Unusual flavor combinations & lots of homemade ingredients (lavender dust?!). Very cool/trendy vibe.

Stavros Vassos

One of the famous places in piazza Trilussa at Trastevere. Come early for aperitivo or grab a drink later in the evening. Nicer when the weather is good and people flock outside.

Berk Mesekiran

Lovely terrace-like open space in front. Aperativo served open buffet . Interesting cocktails . Mixed crowd locals and international.

Freni e Frizioni (“shocks and brakes”) is the place-to-be when it comes to Trastevere’s nightlife scene. From 7pm until late, this cocktail bar with its oak wood liquor shelves and chandeliers .. Read more

Stephanie

Fantastic aperitivo . Good music . It spills out onto the terrace . Pay and then go to the bar...like you do for a coffee .

Constance | @croostifoodi

Very nice vibe and good music . People rush here for the huge aperitivo , cheap and generous. Wouldn’t rave about the cocktails .

Angela W.

Wish we had gotten here early enough to try their special aperitivi menu: the place was packed! Cocktails were strong, balanced, and super tasty.

Tobias Weißenfels

Good location, okay drinks, fair prices as they come with a free buffet in the evenings. You can sit everywhere outside with your drinks :)

Jacopo Tonti

Show up at 19:00 and enjoy a nice vegetarian apericena while sipping a nice Moscow Mule . Expert and friendly staff . Relax and sink into the Tratevere atmosphere.

Amy Williams

Great cocktails , great food. I'm not by any means vegetarian/vegan, but this is one of the best aperitivo I have had in Rome

Bea H

Cool bar with nice people behind the bar . You can pay with card (maestro at least). Go for the classic cocktails .

Justin Bridgewater

Great place for early evening drinks and aperitivo . Food is included in the price of your drink. Excellent mojito for 8€

Max Mearsheimer

Awesome spot. The Old Fashioned : Well crafted, done right. For the more lady-friendly: Pimms Royale.

Urban Cool fun guide

Ideal for an aperitif surrounded by nice chilling people enjoying the Trastevere area, good drinks and tasty buffet .

Lidia Vorontsova

10 Euro per cocktail (which, by my usual London standards, is cheap already), and unlimited buffet included. Columbia Road is a lovely one if you like gin .

Tomas Collados

Very nice place, good decoration, drinks and japanese fusion food, the administrator arranged a table in the moment for us, very kind and friendly .

Sven Kräuter

Although the ingredients & the making of the cocktails are good, the bad service spoils the otherwise great experience. For great cocktails and service in Rome better check The Jerry Thomas Project.

Nick Longley

Cocktails and snacks . Great setting and crowd for an evening drink. And you won't need dinner afterwards

Duygu Sevimli Çeltik

Aperotivo days are the best and very crowded . Coctails are great especially spritz. Youngs are here.

Liam

Really cool cocktail menu based on classic films and TV shows - try the Jackie Brown!

Tom Gilder

Pre-pay for drinks at the till, show the receipt at the bar . Free and tasty vegetarian buffet when you buy drinks. Great place.

Stephanie

Pay for your drinks first then head to the bar . Huge aperitivo .

Roma

Unlikely ex-garage surroundings - the name means 'brakes and clutches' - for Rome's hippest early evening spot, frequented by arty types and a creative, studenty crowd .

Jackie Fei

Great lively spot in Trastevere for aperitivo . Pay for your drinks and get a free (snack ) buffet

BarChick

Set in a former garage , this is said to be a popular spot to start the night. They serve a big buffet of pasta , hot bread , salads and more. Read more

Elise Dingli

There's a great atmosphere but not an amazing aperitivo . The rice was a bit off and I went twice and the dishes were exactly the same...I'm suspicious of them recycling food.

Isa Vilacides

Absolutely perfect! Cocktails made with love, delicious buffet and great location in Trastevere near the river

Patrick Puricelli

Great cocktail bar in Trastevere, go there for aperitivo (pre-dinner drinks) or for a drink post dinner .

Simon K

Really relaxed, great drinks, lots of room outside, friendly staff and patrons! The mojito was great!

Arjun

Come for the aperitivo (buy a drink, get free dinner ; starts at 1830), but be prepared to stay all night.

Ece Apaydn

Really good service and atmosphere but also great coctails in a great atmosphere!!!

Nes

Discounted coctails after 22:00 pm. Cool place

Guys, Northern Light is the best value for money ! Be sure to order it if you're born to impress

Lisa Z

Cocktails , aperitivo buffet , killer movie superhero cocktail menu

Toby C.

awesome aperitivo and craft cocktails with local students and hipsters . Get the mojito

Awesome place. Buffet included in the drinks, and it's really good. The plaza outside quickly fills up with people from the bar .

Jukka Yrjönen

Excellent cocktails and an OK (but light) vegan buffet if that's your thing.

Patrick Puricelli

Great cocktail bar in Travevere, go there for aperitivo or for a drink post dinner .
