Trastevere is no longer the rough-around-the-edges neighborhood where visitors used to come to get a glimpse of "real" Rome. Years of gentrification have made this medieval "country within a town" a mecca for tourists and for Americans studying abroad. Its nightlife is a fun mix of overflowing piazzas filled with creative buskers, busy pubs, and great hole-in-the-wall restaurants.
Set on a private terrace overlooking Trastevere, Ombre Rosse bustles with expats and other regulars who appreciate the cocktail creations and the ever-lively atmosphere. On weekends, the outdoor patio is the perfect spot to enjoy an aperitivo and nibbles before finishing off an evening with friends at the bar.
