Fancy A Rome With A View? These 5 Italian Bars Serve The Best Version
Of the many European cities that attract thousands of tourists every year, Rome is perhaps one of the most favoured destinations, for its food, culture and splendid drinks. Many bars abound in this city that are so built that you can enjoy breathtaking views of the bustling cityscape lounging in one of these places. And when you are sitting in such a rooftop bar, what better drink to sip on than a Rome With A View cocktail, a delightful pun on the EM Forster story which talks about falling in love in this beautiful city.
Tourist attractions in Rome are immense but on some evenings, it is perhaps quite soothing to just find a chair at a rooftop bar and watch the happenings in the city unfold instead of stepping out and taking long, exhausting walks. This is a leisurely way to enjoy a European holiday, augmented even more by the delicious foods that can be paired with locally sourced wines and signature cocktails, for those Rome feels. It would be rather poetic to toast with a glass of the stunning Rome With A View aperitivo on such evenings because its indulgent flavours full of the notes of the red bitter liqueur and dry vermouth would really spark feelings of romance, at least for the city, if not for a man!
