"Máximo Bistrot in Roma is kind of French, kind of Mexican, and one of the best spots in town for a hot date or group dinner. It’s a fun, atrium-like space with great cocktails and an equally fantastic wine list, and they do delicious spins on dishes you’ve seen before, like a caesar salad with homemade headcheese. You can go à la carte, but there’s also a nine-course tasting menu, and definitely add that wine pairing. If you’re in the mood for a nightcap after your meal, Bar Las Brujas is just a quick walk away, though you’ll want to make a reservation in advance (so plan accordingly)." - guillaume guevara
