Stravinskij Bar

About Stravinskij Bar

Jazz, deep house and lounge-leaning chill house set the volume here — low enough that a table of four can talk across it, present enough that the open-air terrace never feels silent. The kitchen keeps to Italian cooking, served at table from ten in the morning through to one at night, seven days a week, which makes the address on Via del Babuino as workable for a late coffee as for the long aperitivo hour that defines the place. April to October is the season that matters, when the outdoor seating comes into its own and Friday through Sunday fills with a mix of Romans, western Europeans and Americans, mostly in the 25-45 range. Smart casual is genuinely expected rather than merely suggested, given the Via Veneto end of town. Prices sit in the mid band, which for this corner of central Rome is more reasonable than the setting suggests.
