Bars in Rome: cocktails and wine at the Spanish Steps

We’ve looked at Rome’s nightlife more than once, and a holiday to Italy’s liveliest city wouldn’t be complete without a visit to a bar, and while you’re at it, why not choose a distinctive destination? Il Palazzetto is a bar on the Spanish Steps and while it’s not budget, it’s prices are not exorbitant either.

You can enter this wine bar from Piazza Trinità dei Monti at the top of the steps, going to the left of the obelisk.
Il Palazzetto has quite elegant decor, with two terraces overlooking the Spanish Steps.
The Italian wine and cocktails on offer are extensive, with elaborate cocktails costing 12 euros and standard cocktails costing ten.

If you want a fruit mocktail, it’s about eight euros.
Service is fast and friendly, try the happy hour too.
The area is lively and if you enjoy people watching in Rome, the Spanish Steps are where to go.
