Stravinskij Bar
Even local residents turn up almost nightly for a drink at this gorgeous outdoor patio area sitting beneath the Borghese Gardens in the Hotel de Russie. It is arguably one of Rome’s most romantic and atmospheric, with iron wrought chairs sitting under huge umbrellas alongside candlelit lanterns. Famed barman Paolo Dianini has concocted quite a cocktail list that includes his take on the Aperol Spritz—a version that uses organic and seasonal ingredients, and a secret addition they won’t reveal.
