23 Best Bars in Rome

"There are few places as iconic as Hotel de Russie’s Stravinskij Bar. The inside is undeniably classy, but it’s the outside terrace that really packs a punch. Tables are topped with martinis and framed by peaceful manicured gardens. It’s a slice of Rome’s Dolce Vita at its best. The aperitivo menu offers some excellent pre-dinner cocktails, including a great Sbagliato and a pleasing riff on the Americano. The Stravinskij Champagne is a sweet mix of botanicals with lavender and angostura, topped with Comte de Montaigne Extra Brut. The food menu is delightfully old-school, with club sandwiches and chocolate mousse plus Amatriciana pasta and tiramisu post-10:30 p.m." - Maresa Manara
