FEATURES ARCHIVE/TRAVELA 60 second guide to RomeRome: Beautiful people, history, architecture, culture, art, mopeds, fashion, olive oil, pizza and lashings of fresh ice cream. It has all this and more. So why is the city fascinated with Irish pubs? I went to Rome to investigate... but ended up getting drunk and forgetting my mission. So here's what I remember about the Eternal City. The best thing about the bars in Rome (even the Irish ones) is that they rarely measure out spirits. So a double could end-up being a quarter of a bottle. If the barperson is distracted whilst pouring, the result could be even more intoxicating. Everyone in Rome is so laidback; you can't help but loosen your spine and absorb the relaxed and unhurried atmosphere. A great place to enjoy the sun on your back whilst eating al fresco is Enzo' s. Nestled in a back street of Trastevere, Enzo's is a no frills restaurant that serves the best Italian food at a very reasonable price. It's perfect for GlamPoppers who want to sample authentic Italian cuisine. The house wine is fantastic and a bottle of red is the perfect accompaniment to Enzo's homemade Bolognese.A starter, pasta, half bottle of house wine and an espresso to finish is about €10 - the price of a couple of pints in London. Move on to a livelier environment and head to Campo dei Fiori. The Drunken Ship there offers American student-like shenanigans and great offers on drinks. Mondays is especially good for girls, who get free shots when they flash the barman. For a bigger measure, make sure he begins pouring before you flash. It's all about 'distraction' in this city! Happy Hour is everyday between 5pm and 8pm and Power Hour is every Wednesday between 9pm and 10pm - basically you can drink as much as you want for just €6. Be aware of the mirrors on the way to the toilet; you'll either walk into one of them or spend 10 minutes excusing yourself as you attempt to navigate around your own reflection. The Drunken Ship is open until 2am daily. |
