Lonely Planet review for Bar San Calisto

Those in the know head to the down-at-heel ‘Sanca’ for its basic, stuck-in-time atmosphere and cheap prices (a large beer costs €2.50). It attracts everyone from intellectuals and pseudo-intellectuals to keeping-it-real Romans, alcoholics and American students. It’s famous for its chocolate – drunk hot with cream in winter, eaten as ice cream in summer. We’re reliably told that unless you have drunk a post-dinner coffee here, or a Sambuca con la Mosca (‘with flies’, with two or three raw coffee beans dropped in the drink), you will not truly know Trastevere.
