What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Terrazza del Cesari is praised for its exceptional cocktails and cozy, relaxed atmosphere, offering a delightful experience away from the typical tourist crowds. While not the cheapest, the quality of drinks and service justifies the price for many, making it a recommended spot for intimate evenings. Some visitors note the view is more about the immediate surroundings than a panoramic city skyline.
"The drinks were amazing. The view was okay. The service was great. The atmosphere was wonderful.
Can’t say anything about the food as we didn’t have any. But the cocktails were the best. Not too sweet and very easily drinkable.
Not the cheapest rooftop bar in Rome but maybe slightly cheaper than the average. But when it comes to the quality of the cocktails, they are the best.
The service staff were nice and very polite. We did not make an reservation."

"I frequent this rooftop as a must-visit any time I visit the Rome area. The staff are spectacular and the drinks and food are delicious. I've visited with friends on 3 different occasions. Each time, the service was incredibly enjoyable and drinks and food were carefully crafted for an amazing experience. The view in the rooftop affords more of "nestled in the area" type of view. If you're looking for a rooftop that shows off the entire city, this might not be what you're looking for. What this place does offer, however, is an opportunity to see the beauty before you in friends, food, and drink. Great place to visit."

"After dinner we felt like having a drink and dessert somewhere, and found this rooftop by chance on Google Maps. Great central location (close to the Pantheon) with a very cozy atmosphere and kind staff.
Besides the classics, they offer their own signature cocktails, which are definitely worth trying. I had the Devil Passion (vodka, lime, vanilla, passion fruit with cranberry foam) – fruity and really good. My companion had La Vie en Rose (rose-infused vodka, lime, peach, sparkling wine) – a bit stronger but also very tasty. We also shared a cheese platter with different cheeses, ham, bread and honey – generous and delicious.
Prices are on the upper side, but in my opinion justified by the quality and experience. The rooftop view is nice, though don’t expect a full skyline panorama – it’s more about the cozy vibe than the city view.
All in all, a lovely spot for drinks in the center of Rome. Definitely recommended if you want something beyond the usual cocktails."
