The capital of Roman nightlife

Pigneto is one of the undisputed hubs of Rome's nightlife: when evening falls, the pedestrian zone and the district's streets fill up with people, café tables and music. It's the realm of cocktail bars, alternative venues, international cuisine and street food, in a young, multicultural and laid-back atmosphere. For anyone after the Rome that goes out and has fun far from the tourist circuit, Pigneto is a must.

What to expect

Pigneto's food and nightlife scene is varied and contemporary:

  • Cocktail bars and aperitivo spots (pre-dinner drinks), the heart of the scene.
  • Ethnic and international cuisine (this is a multicultural district).
  • Street food and casual cooking for every budget.
  • A fresh take on Roman and Italian classics in the neighbourhood's bistros.

The vibe is that of a young, creative district, with prices that are often easy on the wallet and a crowd that's largely local.
