Top 10 La Dolce Vita Venues
-
1. Gran Caffè Doney
One of the best spots in the world to sit under the magnolias, sip cappuccino and watch passers-by - although they’re mostly tourists now not the celebrities of old (see Cafés and Gelaterie).
-
2. Café de Paris
This café has always been the landmark of dolce vita lifestyle along this glossy strip. It’s still a magical place to sip an espresso or partake of a light snack.
-
3. Harry’s Bar
Noted for its clubby American style - a dry Martini, tuxedo and cigar sort of place, featuring a piano bar, a restaurant with gourmet cuisine, and a café with tables outside. Be prepared to spend lavishly.
-
4. La Terrazza dell’Eden
At the top of the erstwhile premier celebrity hotel, this bar-restaurant has perhaps the best views in Rome. It’s perfect for a romantic tête-à-tête or any special do (see Eden).
-
5. Gran Caffè Roma
Located in an elegant curve of the street, with outdoor tables at the bottom of a broad staircase. A great spot to linger over your cappuccino and newspaper.
-
6. R & Co
Nothing short of fabulous is this collection of designer shoes, leather goods and other fashions.
-
7. Bruno Magli
If the cachet of spending vast quantities of cash appeals, this shop should be top on your list for your next shoe purchase.
-
8. Jackie O’
As the name implies, this was a leading watering-hole and club in the 1960s. It still attracts international stars. Call ahead if you are not world-famous.
-
9. Hard Rock Café
It was inevitable that this international chain would choose Via Veneto for its Roman home. Serves standard American fare.
-
10. Arion
Independent bookstore specializing in exquisite art books. It stays open until 10pm on Sundays..
