Bar del Cinque

Trastevere & Gianicolo


There’s no sign outside (even under the thick ivy), and it looks like an ordinary, rundown bar, but this is a long-standing Trastevere favourite and always has a small crowd clustered around outside. It's lure? Pivotal location, easygoing vibe, a few strategically located stools and cheap drinks.
