Giolitti

This 19th-century landmark café is widely regarded as serving Rome’s best ice cream.
I Giganti della Notte

A newcomer to the Campo scene, but already a favourite with a young, good-looking crowd. Great outsize hi-tech decor and modern rock music inside; lots of tables and standing room outside.
John Bull Pub

American-style bar positively hopping nightly with plenty of lively young students, both foreign and Italian.
Jonathan’s Angels

A must-see for its outlandish decor, which was the brainchild of the proprietor Jonathan, a former circus performer and also the artist. Taking a cue from his Baroque forbears, he’s covered practically every square inch of the place with squirming colour. There’s a piano bar and floor shows.
Jonathan’s Angels

Perhaps Rome’s most unique and kitsch nightspot, which should be seen to be believed. Run by a former circus acrobat, it is eccentrically decorated, with a piano bar, tables out on the narrow alley strung with fairy lights, and the occasional impromptu floor show.
La Botticella

Small, always crowded birreria (beerhouse) with some tables outside, in the heart of the area’s nightlife action. Devil’s Kiss and Castlemaine XXXX beer are on tap.
La Curia di Bacco

This long, narrow space is a vaulted corridor of the ancient Pompey’s Theatre.
La Vineria

This tiny wine bar has long-time regulars lounging at the outside tables.
La Vineria

This historic wine bar is an established favourite with the locals. Smoky and definitely cosy during the winter, but spilling out onto the Campo de’ Fiori in the summer. Prices for wine and beer are low, especially if you stand at the bar, and there are a few well-chosen snacks.
Lettere Café

The focus is on books, but a couple of nights a week are devoted to live roots music.
