Located in Via Tomacelli, 23

Situated in the heart of the historical center just a footstep away from Via del Corso is La.Vi, the trendy restaurant and wine bar located on three floors that serves exciting happy-hours and wonderful after-dinner drinks.
La.Vi stands for Latteria and Vineria (milk and wine) which represent the two main parts of our every day lives, the beginning and the end of our day. In fact, La.Vi serves delicious home-made food from breakfast all the way to dinner, ending the day with great late night drinks.
All the products you find at breakfast are freshly made and delicious. Although a lunch buffet and an a la carte dinner are served, the best parts of the day at this restaurant are the happy-hours and the after-dinner drinks.
In La.Vi's modern yet classical setting you will enjoy a delicious happy-hour buffet accompanied by your choice of wine or cocktail. The atmosphere is trendy and warm, with a wonderful roof terrace where you have the possibility to enjoy your aperitivo. You can order your drink and then take whatever you like from the buffet, bringing it to the terrace which is open in the summer and heated during the winter.
The lounge bar is also very popular amongst Romans and foreigners as it provides a chic hideaway from our everyday routines, suggesting a glass of wine or cocktail to relax and enjoy the night with  friends or partner in a great atmosphere. I advise you make a reservation if you intend to go for after-dinner drinks, especially if you want to be on the roof terrace. Enjoy!

Antique Shopping in Rome

Rome is like a vast shopping mall when it comes to antique stores. If you want to buy paintings, antique objects, antique furniture and frames, then you're in the right city!
Although you will find antique stores almost anywhere in the historic center, here are some of the most important streets where there's a concentration of antique stores.

Via dei Coronari is a famous Roman street located near Piazza Navona that starts from Vicolo del Curato and ends at Via di Sant'Agostino. The street is 500 meters long and it is where you will find numerous antique shops. The street was built in the Middle Ages and was one of the main streets since it led to St. Peter's. For this reason it was frequented by many travelers and it is where many crown and religious icon sellers were. In fact, that is where the street gets its current name, Via dei Coronari.
The old boutiques have been replaced by prestigious antique and craftsmen shops that in addition to the beautiful Via dei Coronari add to the fascinating sight of the street. This is the perfect street to go far a peaceful walk while enjoying art and antiques and later stopping for a delicious coffee or lunch.

Via Giulia is another great and tranquil street in Rome where you will find some wonderful art and antique stores. The street is wide and beautiful, close to Campo de'Fiori and Piazza Farnese. In fact, walking down the street you will notice the beautiful ivy-covered Farnese archway, designed by Michelangelo, as well as beautiful and unique churches such as the white-stone Santa Maria dell'Orazione e Morta decorated with skeletons. If you want to take a relaxing walk, enjoy antiques and art and stop by for a lunch in one of the parallel streets, then Via Giulia is the ideal place for you.

Via del Babuino is perhaps one of the best known streets as it is in the historic center and is part of the Tridente. This street is ideal for art and antique shops. The shops you will find here are more like art and antiques galleries rather than small boutiques. Via del Babuino is a beautiful street that joins Piazza del Popolo to Piazza di Spagna and it has recently been transformed into a pedestrian area, so your shopping will be less hectic as you won't have to worry about taxis and cars passing by.

Via Margutta is another street located in the historic center, very close to Piazza del Popolo. This street is extremely colorful with its ivy-covered palazzi and beautiful shops filled with antiques stores but with mostly art shops. Via Margutta is a great peaceful street where you can be immersed in art and can spend your day admiring the stores and stopping by for a relaxing lunch.

Porta Portese on the other hand is the biggest flea market in Rome and also the most popular. It is filled with almost anything you like, from antique objects, to art, to furniture all the way to used clothes, CDs and jewelry. The Porta Portese market is open on Sundays from 7am-2pm and is vast, it goes from Via Portuense all the way to Via Ippolito Nievo. Since it is a flea market, be careful for pickpockets!
