Going out in Rome
Trastevere
Trastevere is an extremely lively area of town: walking along the labyrinth of alleys and lanes, among coffee shops, restaurants, pubs and clubs with live music, all brimming over with life is a unique and exciting experience. For good Italian food go to Al Fontanone at Piazza Trilussa.
Restaurants
A very popular restaurant is Gusto on Piazza Augusto Imperatore (near the Spanish steps). For reservations call 06-3226273.
Another hotspot is the trendy restaurant Supperclub at Via de' Nari, 14 (near Pantheon). Reservation: 06-68807207.
For authentic Italian food go to Renato e Luisa, Via dei Barbeiri, 25 (near Largo Argentina), tel: 06-6869660. Or Maccheroni, Piazza delle Capelle 44 (near Pantheon and Piazza Navona), tel: 06-68307895.
Nightlife
The areas around Via della Pace and Campo de' Fiori are also interesting for night life lovers. In Via della Pace, near to Piazza Navona, there is the famous Antico Caffè della Pace, which has been a meeting place for intellectuals, artists and famous names for many years.
If instead you are looking for real night clubs, Rome has no end of them. Here are few of the most popular: the rich and famous hang out at Gilda (Via Mario dei Fiori 97); some of Europe's best DJs play at Goa (Via Libetta 13); Alibi (Via Monte Testaccio 39), is frequented by ‘gay and friends’ and plays predominantly house music with occasional live concerts; close by, Zoobar plays house, rock and new wave to a mixed and cheerful crowd.
