Gilda

Rome’s most central disco has remained popular for years, with a pizzeria in the evening and dance music cranking up at midnight. High cover charge on weekends, but always an A-list crowd.
Giolitti

This 19th-century landmark café is widely regarded as serving Rome’s best ice cream.
Giolitti

This 19th-century café is the best known of Rome’s gelaterie . Touristy but excellent.

Giolitti
Gran Caffè Doney

Still the top café on the famous Via Veneto, but long past its prime as the heartbeat (along with rival Café de Paris across the road) of Rome’s 1950s heyday – when celebrities in sunglasses hobnobbed with starlets draped over the outdoor tables. The lifestyle was documented in (and in part created by) Fellini’s seminal film La Dolce Vita (see La Dolce Vita), whose shutterbug character Paparazzo lent a name to his profession of bloodhound photographers (see Gran Caffè Doney).
Harry’s Bar

This Roman branch of the famed Venetian café opened at the top of Via Veneto in 1961, at the tail end of the neighbourhood’s glory days. It has long been the haunt of politicians who appreciate the year-round pavement tables.
Il Bacaro

Booking is essential at this tiny osteria . Though contemporary inside, it feels like old Rome when sitting at an outdoor table against the ivy-covered walls. The cuisine is unusual traditional dishes from across Italy.
Il Brillo Parlante

Popular basement eatery packed with locals enjoying huge plates of salad and delicious pizzas.
Il Ciak

Excellent game dishes are among the offerings served in this typical Tuscan trattoria .
Il Convivio

For a special night out. One of the historic centre’s best restaurants, with strictly seasonal cuisine based on Italian traditions and an excellent wine list.
Il Delfino

Self-service Roman dishes at excellent prices and very friendly staff.
