I
f you're picky and haven't found anything to do (yes, some people DO have this problem, even in Rome if you can believe it), this event, a combination bazaar/food festival/wine bar-pub crawl, is just the place. Located between Ponte Sisto and Ponte Palatino, lining the banks of the Tiber River, you will find a host of bars, informal eateries, craft stores and music venues. It's a casual place for a night stroll where at leisure you can choose a place to stop and have a drink or something tasty to eat. Here is a small selection of things to do:



Plenty of
wine bars and pubs with dj's and pounding house and live music but also quiet venues where you can savour the reflected lights of the city on the river. Some of the bars have been very creatively set up as lounges with mood lighting and design furniture to create a club theme.


A
dance floor for tango lovers where you can even have a free lesson. Dress up with sequined 10cm heels (plenty of them last night) or fun just to watch.


An
Arab carpeted tent... with belly-dancing customers and cous cous


Esco Pazzo ("I'm Going Crazy") cooking with flair using centuries old Roman recipes.


You're most likely not here in Rome to eat sushi but
Fujisushi has a reasonably priced midnight to 2am special. And a riverside sushi bar is not something you see every day, at least not here.


La Sponda Steakhouse


La Paranza specializing in fried fish (and chips!)


Nanni' Pizza by the Slice


"Piccolo Teatro Del Belli" a small stage & seating where you can listen to jazz, bawdy Roman, country Western and other live music.
