Coffee shops and tea rooms - Rome - Italie in 2025

Practical information : Take a break Rome

Timetable

As in France, most bars close around 2am. The peak of affluence takes place at aperitif time or during the dopo cena, just after dinner (for a digestif!).

Budget & Tips

A pint of beer costs between €5 and €8, a cocktail or soda between €7 and €10. There are several inexpensive bars in the student district of San Lorenzo, where cocktails start at €3.

Age restrictions

Same legislation as in France.

What's very local

Gelato, eaten at any time of day, is an institution in Rome! It's not unusual to see long queues in front of gelaterias, and every Roman has his or her own favorite address. In fact, Rome is the city with the most gelaterias in Italy. As for aperitifs, some bars offer an aperitivo formula, as found in northern Italy, with cocktails and unlimited buffet. However, there are fewer and fewer of these.

Tourist traps

Don't hesitate to ask for panna (whipped cream) on your gelato. It's delicious, and most Roman gelaterias add it at no extra charge - you just have to know!
