IL BARETTO

IL BARETTO - Via Garibaldi , 27.


This is going to be an emotional article. There are no words to describe what this place means to me. . . It's pretty much been the setting for the 180 my life in Rome has made. It's funny, Special, Memorable. It's the place where i met the people who made me love Rome so much, and it's filled with so many perfect memories.

Baretto is a small bar on the Gianicolo, at the corner of via garibaldi and Via Nicolo Fabrizi. You should get there around 11pm because that is when its gets started. It's 100% Italian. Go to the Bar and ask Arthur (Arturo) the German Barman for a special cocktail. He makes an amazing Vodka Cooler, and this crazy drink with Vodka Passoa and Passionfruit i had once. The prices are 5 euros a drink for us, but you're probs going to have to pay 8 euros..

Its the Home of the Baretto Boys, and the Baretto Girls. Check it out on any night of the week, but wednesdays Martina is DJing ---- check out the link (though these days she's moved to the Baretto on the River, the River Bar on wednesdays) --- and she has amazing taste in music so I advise you to go see her. Fridays and Saturdays it's always very crowded aswell .

You can take your drink downstairs to one of the tables in the little Garden, but the whole fun of going to Baretto is hanging outside the Bar, where everyone is pretty much just standing on the sidewalk... but thats part of the Baretto Mood.
If you want to have an amazing, chilled out night, meet great people, and get quite drunk whilst listening to good music , this is where you need to go.
