To live intensely the "nightlife" of the night you have to get lost in the alleys of Trastevere to discover its flavors and traditions, among taverns and trattorias, starred restaurants with gourmet dishes, places to stop for an aperitif, for a cocktail after dinner or for drink craft beers.
If you are looking for gourmet dishes, there is Zia, in via Goffredo Mameli 45, where the young chef raised at the court of starred chef Anthony Genovese (Il Pagliaccio), Gordon Ramsey in England and George Blanc in France, proposes a modern kitchen, with recipes and traditional cooking techniques combined without excesses with innovative and fun ideas.

For an unusual meal there is Eggs, in via Natale del Grande 52, a room entirely dedicated to eggs, or the Prosciutteria in via della Scala 71, with cutting boards rich in cheeses, salami, porchetta, sausages and other specialties for an aperitif or dinner.
