L'Aperitivo is an italian tradition. It is a pre-dinner drink with appetizers I like it very much and it also becomes a tradition among group of friends. As foreigner you will probably make of the aperitivo your dinner... In Milano we used to gather every Tuesday night for aperitivo. It was the best mean to build and keep the CEMS spirit alive. In Rome, we also have such a tradition on Thursday nights. Unfortunately good aperitivi in Rome are harder to find. After some trials our two favorite places are
FrEnI FrIzIoNi in trastevere
via del politeama 4 (piazza trilussa, trastevere) Roma
(+) buffet made of original salads, fruits, vegetables. price of 6 to 8 eur, for the drink + illimited buffet. in summer many people just sit on the wall of piazza trilussa.
(-) not really suitable in winter as there is not much sitting available inside. analcolic cocktails are random and nothing exceptional.

- The barman, nice guy! artist in the art of vegetables sculpting. He asked for the portrait :) -
- Freni Frizioni -DoppiO ZerO next to Ostiense/Piramide
via ostiense 68
(+) more pizza/pasta oriented. also dessert available. chic atmosphere. good choice of analcolics :)
(-) need to queue. (even tough we were lucky when we went there)
