Salotto 42

Salotto 42 is a stylish and intimate bar facing the ancient columns of the Temple of Hadrian in Piazza di Pietra — one of Rome’s most atmospheric settings. By day it’s a design café with Scandinavian furniture and art books; by evening it transforms into a cocktail and wine bar with a well-chosen champagne list and a buzzing, creative crowd. The mix of ancient Roman ruins as a backdrop and contemporary cool inside makes it completely unique, and it’s a favourite of Rome’s fashion and arts set.
