Dining is one of those luxuries we all indulge in. That is, to eat something delicious is possible if with a little curiosity and good taste, we explore the city that we visit and aptly choose an appropriate restaurant . No need to spend too much either, just see that it is within the capabilities of our pockets and keep track of our stomachs demands. The aperitif before dinner is a classic ritual for those who know how to start a good meal.
Within snack tasting surely there is no rule. It depends on what you’re looking for, either something refreshing or strong, it also depends on the dishes you are going to eat. Usually a good glass of wine is a classic appetizer. Many prefer a lighter whiskey with some ice to also open the appetite. Generally, fruit cocktails are not recommended before a meal because of its high sugar content, which also raises the levels of alcohol during ingestion. Drink whatever you want, but drink something before you eat, it alerts the senses and gives food intake even more emphasis on the palate, raising awareness and giving more pleasure in eating. If you eat something in Rome, here are some bars that can be perfect to visit to start your meal.
Societe Lutece is one of the more “chic” bars you can find in Rome. Located near the Piazza Navona, the great variety of drinks will give you many options to choose from before dinner. Very cozy and very comfortable, Societe Lutece also offers you a buffet of salads and other small snacks to start your appetite before dinner.
Salotto 42 is another point of reference if what you need is a refreshing drink before dinner. Try to arrive on time because it usually tends to be very full, plus many Roman celebrities spend evenings in this bohemian place. They also offer fresh salads and sandwiches to accompany your favorite cocktail.
The Modo bar is another meeting point if you’re looking to share a good drink accompanied by a light jazz concert before lunch. Also, Modo has known dj-s that will make your evening before dinner never ending. Designed completely in white and black, you’ll find yourself in a Kubrick film “a la Roman”, of course, you will be more than simply fascinated.
Finally, E Frizioni Freni is the quintessential bar if your after “arty” and modern style. Decorated with books and contemporary art everywhere, this bar offers snacks at very affordable prices and of a high quality.
