A
Fanfulla 101
Hidden behind an unmarked workshop door, this is an underground cultural centre, a book-lined old hall that’s all vintage chic and left-leaning punters. The look is bohemian, arty beards are plentiful, and drinks are dirt cheap. There are regular live indie, jazz, reggae and rock gigs, plus jam sessions, particularly from Monday to Thursday. Tuesday is the night for art-house films, documentaries and poetry readings.

Vini e Olii
Forget the other bars that line Pigneto’s main pedestrianised drag, with their scattered outside tables and styled interiors. This is where the locals head, turning their noses up at newer interlopers. This traditional ‘wine and oil’ shop sells cheap beer and wine (bottles from €7.50), and you can snack on platefuls of antipasti and porchetta (pork roasted in herbs). It’s outside seating only.

Il Tiaso
Think living room, with zebra-print chairs, walls of indie art, Lou Reed biographies shelved between the wine bottles, and 30-something owner Gabriele playing his latest New York Dolls album to neo-beatnik chicks, corduroy professors and the odd neighbourhood dog. Wine is well priced, the vibe intimate and chilled, and there’s regular live music, from jazz to funk.

Accademia Filarmonica Romana
The academy was founded in 1821 and its members have included Rossini, Donizetti and Verdi. It still attracts star performers, and its varied programme concentrates on classical and chamber music, but also includes opera, ballet and multimedia events. Concerts are held at the Teatro Olimpico.

Cinema dei Piccoli
Near the Villa Borghese's southern entrance (Piazzale San Paolo del Brasile), the Cinema dei Piccoli is the world’s smallest cinema. Housed in a curious chalet-style building, it screens kids’ films most afternoons – check the website for details.

Forte Prenestino
Housed in a fort east of the city centre, where there are gigs, vintage markets and much more, including shiatsu massage (€15 one treatment) and a fantastic May Day festival (forget the famous mainstream concert at San Giovanni and head here).

Edoardo II
Restaurant-bar that feels like a private members’ club.
