The Best Rooftop Bars and Restaurants in Rome

"Hotel de la Ville, a refined establishment of the Rocco Forte Hotels group and holder of One MICHELIN Key, is home to Cielo, a rooftop bar that perfectly embodies the luxury and elegance of Rome. From Cielo's terrace, with its red and white striped sofas and parasols, you are privy to one of the most spectacular sunsets in the Eternal City, with spellbinding views from the top of the Trinità dei Monti. Close your eyes and imagine the barman serving you a perfectly balanced cocktail, while chef Fulvio Pierangelini prepares dishes that celebrate Italian flavors. The cicchetti – small amuse-bouches full of flavor – are the perfect accompaniment. Night falls and envelopes the Ancient rooftops of Rome in its star-studded embrace. Music courtesy of a DJ makes for a lively yet elegant atmosphere, each note mingling with the sound of laughter and clinking of glasses. The view from the terrace takes in the city, from the majestic dome of St Peter's to the historical monuments that tell the story of thousands of years of history. Cielo is more than just a bar; it's an experience that encapsulates the soul of Rome, a moment that, like a scene from a timeless travel tale, will remain etched in your memory." - The MICHELIN Guide
