Rosati
Rosati opened on the Piazza del Popolo in 1922 and soon became a cornerstone of the vigorous, intellectual café and bar culture of Rome’s artists, poets and leftist thinkers.
Sip on creative and interesting cocktails, and get into the spirit of the place with some invigorating intellectual discussion that continues on into the night.
La Maison
It pays to look your sophisticated best for this highly exclusive club.
A famously strict door policy gives way to a glamorous interior, a buzzing crowd, late-night dancing, a sushi restaurant, and a sumptuous VIP lounge, where international stars – such as Leonardo di Caprio and Jon Bon Jovi – mingle, celebrate, sip champagne and look beautiful. In the summer La Maison moves out to a sensational spot on the Tiber River.
Jackie O’
Glamorous piano bar and disco Jackie O’ is a celebrity favorite. The impressive club boasts a sensational interior that oozes elegance and prestige, with an A-List crowd, and sophisticated, intimate drinks with live piano music or glitzy late-night dancing. Gourmet Mediterranean and international cuisine can also be sampled, and the entire venue is available to hire for exclusive private parties.
Auditorium Parco della Musica
An immense venue for arts, the stunning Auditorium Parco della Musica is at the forefront of Rome’s flourishing modern cultural life.
It hosts the biggest names and performances across a dizzying variety of genres and disciplines, from music, dance, theater, comedy and cabaret to painting, photography, journalism, poetry, science and history. The wide-ranging program has something to suit all tastes, and the Auditorium’s four atmospheric performance spaces – from the intimate 300-person theater to the immense, 3,500-person summer amphitheater – are evocative complements to the events they host. The Auditorium stands above the still-visible ruins of an Ancient Roman villa, and its own design incorporates local materials and architectural traditions, giving a quintessentially Roman flavor to the experience of the arts that it offers. Exclusive private performances can be arranged and spectacular corporate functions, from cocktail receptions to lavish gala dinners, are eagerly accommodated and organized.
Teatro dell’Opera di Roma
With acoustics to rival the world’s great auditoria, a night at Rome’s opera house can be a stirring and spectacular experience, with an acclaimed and talented opera company performing classics and recent works.
The venue also has plenty for those left unmoved by opera, including ballet and classical symphony concerts. In the summer the opera company performs at the third-century ruins of the Baths of Caracalla, an outstanding and atmospheric open-air site that complements the passion and intensity of opera. It can make for a truly privileged and spectacular experience for long-time opera lovers and skeptics alike.
