Hip hangout for the creative crowd

Noteworthy for: The large terrace opens up in the summer offering pleasant views of the River Tiber.

In the heart of Trastevere is a bar that just oozes cool; from the contemporary artworks to the vintage furniture and the long sloe cocktails. Freni e Frizioni (the name translates as 'brakes and clutches') is an effortlessly laid back venue that attracts arty and creative types. From 7pm, a rich buffet is laid out on the main table with pastas, salads, pizzas and seasonal dishes. Just help yourself.
