Necci Historic Bar / Italian Restaurant

Pigneto, Rome –

Opened in 1924, Necci has enjoyed a several decades-long reputation as a chic retro bar and has recently transformed part of its space into a highly acclaimed restaurant serving homemade Roman cuisine.

Although there is a homey 60s-style barroom inside, most of the venue’s seating is outside on two levels under a canopy of trees that glow with globe lights at twilight to create a festive yet easygoing environment.

Benches and tables are set up in the lower level where bohemians and chatty intellectuals gather for the sumptuous aperitivo in the early evening, while the upper level is reserved for restaurant dining.

With its delicious fresh menu and charming atmosphere, Necci is perfect for a relaxed lunch, a cool dinner, or just an evening beneath the trees with a fine glass of vino.
