10 best bars in Rome | Travel. Bar Necci In a difficult-to-find corner of the supercool Pigneto district, which is to Rome what Hoxton is to London, this friendly, stylish bar with wrap-around garden terrace was once a neighbourhood hangout patronised by old tipplers, young pool players and a slumming Pier Paolo Pasolini, who shot parts of his first film Accattone here in 1961. The current owners, who include English chef, Ben Hirst (no relation to Damien), have made the place over in a funky retro early-70s idiom. Necci morphs from local breakfast stop to light lunch venue, afternoon cafe, early evening wine and aperitivo bar and serious restaurant as the day progresses. Hirst's cuisine uses local, mostly organic ingredients in updated osteria recipes like pan-grilled scallops with porcini mushrooms, red Viterbo potatoes and crispy guanciale bacon.

Best places for an aperitif in Rome - Eating Italy Food Tours in Rome. In most countries around the world you stop by a bar or a pub and have a drink with friends on the weekend or after work. Well in Italy, this concept is known as aperitivo (aperitif time) and it’s not just a stop for a drink — it’s an event! While the Milanese can claim the origins of the aperitivo in Italy, the Romans have certainly adopted this quasi happy hour and made it their own.

Aperitivo is taken anywhere between 6:00pm and 9:00pm at any number of places across Rome. Given nobody in Italy eats dinner before 8:30pm-9:00pm, it leaves this convenient 2-3 hour window in the evening for a drink and snack. Because, yes – aperitivo – also means food (mind you, you can order an alcoholic drink at any time of day across Italy and it won’t be served without some peanuts or potato chips!).

The ever popular Spritz is always on the Rome Aperitif scene! The selection of course varies from venue to venue. Not only is it fun, it’s also economic.

Where to eat in Rome when there’s no avoiding the tourist traps. I once wrote down a quote (I can’t remember who it was by) that went something along the lines of: “Sex is like Shakespeare: even when it’s bad, it’s still a damn sight better than the alternative.”

The same is probably true of food in Rome: even if you’re in an over-priced pizza joint that’s equidistant from the Vatican, Colosseum and Spanish Steps, it’s still not going to be that bad. And yet, like everything, there are degrees: there are thinner, crispier pizzas and fatter, flabbier pizzas; there is better value for money and worse; and not all carbonaras are created equal. Spaghetti alle vongole from Osteria der Belli in Trastevere And while it may be easy to sort the guanciale from the bog-standard bacon outside the tourist centre (the Romans will undoubtedly see to that), in the tourist traps it’s not so simple… Hence why, on my most recent trip to Rome (my third this year), I devised my guide to where to eat near the top tourist attractions.
