La Casa del Jazz
In the middle of a 2500-sq-m park in the southern suburbs, the Casa del Jazz (House of Jazz) is housed in a three-storey 1920s villa that belonged to a Mafia boss. When he was caught, the Comune di Roma (Rome Council) converted it into a jazz-tastic complex, including a 150-seat auditorium, rehearsal rooms, café and restaurant, and it hosts regular shows by international jazz stars.

Alexanderplatz
The daddy of all jazz clubs in a city that loves jazz, Alexanderplatz attracts some huge international names. You’ll need to book a table if you want dinner, and the music starts around 10pm. From July to September, the club moves outside to the grounds of Villa Celimontana for an enchanting, under-the-stars jazz festival.

Makasar
For a touch of tea-infused tranquillity pre or post Vatican, Makasar is ideal. It’s an ochre-walled haven, with a Japanese vibe, featuring little wicker seats and tables, some beautiful teapots, lavish cookery books to browse, and a massive menu of teas with names like silvery fancy and Brasile bop

Locanda Atlantide
Come, tickle Rome’s grungy underbelly, and descend into this cavernous place, decked in retro junk, packed with attitude-free alternative crowds, and with an always entertaining programme of everything from experimental theatre to DJ-spun electro. It’s good to know that punk is not dead.

Big Mama
To wallow in the Eternal City blues, there’s only one place to go – this cramped Trastevere basement, which also hosts jazz, funk, soul and R&B. There are weekly residencies from well-known Italian musicians and songwriters, and frequent concerts by international artists.

Gregory’s
If it were a tone of voice, it’d be husky: unwind in the downstairs bar then unwind some more on squashy sofas upstairs to some slinky live jazz, with quality local performers. Gregory’s is a popular hang-out for local musicians.

Lettere Caffè Gallery
You like books? You like blues and jazz? Then you’ll love this place, a clutter of barstools and books, where there are regular live gigs, poetry readings and comedy nights, followed by DJ sets playing indie and new wave.

Charity Café
Think narrow space, spindly tables, dim lighting and a laidback vibe: this is a place to snuggle down and listen to some slinky live jazz. Supremely civilised, relaxed, untouristy and very Monti.
