Gilda Club

Located in the center in Via Mario De'Fiori, 97 

Situated just a footstep away from Piazza di Spagna and immersed in the historic center, Gilda is a fashionable club under the spotlight of Roman nightlife.
The club is not very big, but the chic interior decor, the commercial music and the trendy VIP tables contribute to a wonderful party experience.
The atmosphere at Gilda is trendy and fun, with a mixture of university students as well as older people having a good time on the dance-floor or on the tables. Because of its central location, this club is frequented both by Italians and foreigners.
Gilda is made up of two main rooms, one consists of the dance-floor where the partying gets down with commercial and house music, while the second is less crowded and more intimate, where you can sit down and enjoy a cocktail. Additionally, if you want to smoke a cigarette there is an upstairs floor where you can do so.

The best nights for Gilda are on Saturdays and Sundays where the music playing is going to be house and commercial. If you want to have a great time, make sure you come with a partying crowd and Gilda will think about the rest. I warn you that there is a lot of selection at the door, so dress nicely if you want to get in! Enjoy!

La Cabala Club

Located in the center in Via Soldati, 25

Situated in Rome's historic center near Piazza Navona, La Cabala is a club with only glamorous people. If you want to dance in a chic place, this is the right one. It has a piano bar with live music at the first floor and house/commercial music at the top floor. 
You don't pay directly at the door, but when you go up the stairs to enter the dance-floor, the staff will give you a card for a drink and in order to get out of the club you need to get a drink, which costs 15 Euros (at the bar they’ll give you the exit card). Most of the people in the top room are Italian and are university students who are dressed very nice. The music goes from lounge and evolves to house/commercial throughout the night. I recommend you don’t arrive there after midnight because there’s going to be a long line to get in. The age group is from 20-30, make sure you're on a list or that you've organized a table with a PR! Enjoy!

VOY Restaurant

Located in Ponte Milvio, Via Flaminia 496

Voy is a chic restaurant located in one of the trendiest places in Rome. Because of its location, it's crowded during happy-hour and dinner as it is definitely one of the favorites in the Ponte Milvio area.
The atmosphere is pleasant, making this restaurant suitable for any type of occasion, the waiters friendly and the price/quality is excellent. The food is delicious, I would recommend trying the truffled pumpkin risotto as a first-dish and the straccetti as a second, but anything you order is great. There is also an extensive selection of white and red wines to accompany your main courses and desserts.
Apart from the delicious dinner, you can also enjoy a wonderful happy-hour starting from 6.30 pm. You can order wine, cocktails or an-alcoholic drink and the waiters will serve you a platter with different sauces of your liking to dip the small bread crostini. I recommend you make a reservation as it is usually full. Enjoy!
