DRINKING & NIGHTLIFE
The centro storico is home to a couple of nightlife centres: the area around Piazza
Navona, with a number of elegant bars and clubs catering to the beautiful, rich and
stylish (and sometimes all three); then the rowdier area around Campo de' Fiori,
where the crowd is younger and the drinking is heavier. This is where people tend to
congregate after football games and foreign students head out on the booze. The
centro storico also harbours many of Rome's best cafes.

small, unassuming cafe, generally three deep at the bar, is famous for its gran caffè , said
by many to be the best coffee in town. Created by beating the first drops of espresso and
several teaspoons of sugar into a frothy paste, then adding the rest of the coffee, it's su-
perbly smooth and guaranteed to put some zing into your sightseeing.

freshing granita di caffè , (a crushed-ice coffee drink served with whipped cream). There's
also a small shop selling teas, coffee and coffee-related paraphernalia.
