Barzilai Bistrot

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


Opposite Monti's much-loved Ai Tre Scalini, this bohemian bar-bistro accommodates the people who can't squeeze in over the road but are seeking a similarly casual place to enjoy a drink and something to eat. Sit at one of the tables under the huge chandelier or stand at the bar; when it's full, they're happy to serve drinks through the window.
