Nestled in Trastevere, this laid-back bar serves up affordable Italian beers and creamy coffee granita, making it a perfect local hangout since the '60s.
"Bar San Calisto is more than just a bar. It’s an institution that feels like the soul of Rome itself: a little rough around the edges, unapologetically authentic, and always buzzing with life. Whether it’s 6am or 2am, you’ll find people ranging from eighth-generation Trastevere locals to study-abroad students, nursing a beer or sipping an espresso. It’s the perfect spot for people-watching at one of the small, weathered tables out front, and on some evenings, there’s even live music." - Annie Replogle
"Stop by this little corner of Trastevere after lunch and you’ll find grey-haired Romans playing cards, sitting beside university students drinking beer, and young professionals enjoying a Campari spritz on a first date. The house red, served in a carafe and poured into tiny tumblers, is about 3 euros a glass; they also do Campari and Aperol spritzes at aperitivo hour and big, ice-cold jugs of Peroni. Non-drinkers can get coffee or soft drinks. Grab your drink and enjoy it sitting outside, people-watching in the piazza. Bar snacks are limited to potato chips and salted peanuts but if you’re lucky there’ll still be some maritozzi (whipped cream-filled buns), pastries and tramezzini sandwiches left over from the morning breakfast rush." - Maresa Manara
Stanley and friend Claudia della Frattina visit one of their old spots sin Trastevere, where they enjoy espresso and get surprised with maritozzi - brioche-like buns filled with cream.
