23 Best Bars in Rome

"Alto might be the new kid on the block, but the crowd already feel like regulars. There are locals and non-locals; hip and pretty, all enjoying the cinematic views, glamorous decor, and strong drinks. On the rooftop of The First Musica hotel, it is a sprawling modern space with a classic Italian cocktail list and over 200 wine labels. Guests can prop themselves up on soft velvet bar stools and enjoy their beverages on the green-marble counter. There are the Italian classics, of course—who could pass up a Negroni in Rome?—but it’s worth looking at the more adventurous concoctions, like the signature ‘Hugo’, made with elderflower liquor, soda and prosecco. There’s also a martini menu; their Vodka Martini with a twist is perfection." - Maresa Manara
