Trastevere & Gianicolo
This friendly neighbourhood cafe and bar in Trastevere serves great coffee and offers a lavish, predominantly vegetarian aperitivo buffet between 6pm and 9pm that costs €10, including a drink, and can easily double as dinner. On warm days the laid-back action spills out from the art-laden interior to a vine-covered terrace on cobbled Piazza di Ponziani.
Other snacks include pizzas (€6 to €8) and burgers (€6 to €8), including a vegan version.
