Bar D. Rotonda: Piazza della Rotonda

This is very popular area with restaurants, coffee shops and terraces. I picked up the place because it had a free table to seat outside, which was a good spot to have an afternoon break on a beautiful sunny day in Rome.

Taverns - Hostaria La Romanesca: Hostaria La Romanesca

This restaurant and terrace located in one of the most popular places in Rome for dinning and parting. Many restaurants and pubs around here and well, the price goes up with the popularity of the place. It was surely a record price I ever paid for a beer, 7 euro. Not even in Norway I paid that much,
