Caffè delle Arti in Rome is a great place to enjoy a fine brunch in the stylish Parioli District,a very suggested place to spend a pleasant time if you are planning to visit the Italian Capital,the "Cittá Eterna" a fantastic and divine city offering everything.

The unique historic patrimony, impressive monuments rich in art, packed by a large variety of outstanding museums,a vibrant nightlife and splendid sunsets on the River Tiber but also classic and traditional restaurants to enjoy a lunch or a dinner, chic and eclectic cafes situated in sites very strategic for a very enjoyable breaks are undoubtedly in their kinds further attractions and an inviting incentive to frequent therm.

In every corner of that metropolis from the popular and traditional places as the  neighbourhoods of Trastevere and Testaccio well known by many people to be great gourmet destinations offering the most typical and delicious local cuisine in many of their cosy and welcoming Trattorie but you can find excellent places also in the trendy and elegant  Parioli, a very classy district situated on the left side of the Tiber next to the Flaminio neighbourhood.


In that area you can have a brilliant selection of fine establishments to spend very pleasant times also enjoying the delectable local cuisine.That very trendy Roman borough where is situated Caffè delle Arti  was mainly developed in the 20s around the Monti Parioli a group of hills in the Northern side of the historic centre of the ancient former Imperial city and since its creation it has always been well known to be an exclusive place.

Since the 60s that pretty large Roman agglomeration was pretty famed for its high Social Class who always populated that urban corner of the major centre of the Region Lazio, many people consider it an area pretty sophisticated,classy and including a bit snob.

 Despite that the locals have always been proud to be identified  "Pariolino",as is named a inhabitant of that district and much more someone born and bred there.All that including that pride is something linked to deep cultural and social aspects very ingrained and extremely rooted in the lifestyle of that Roman borough.

Determined  details and periods have strongly marked the DNA and the identity of those citizens generation by generation with some topics related to be part of a determined  social class,dressing, places to hang out also in some cases politic tendencies.

That trend to recognise a Pariolino was absorbed in more contemporary times in the metropolitan culture to describe someone for a determined attitude, spirit, including look as hairstyle and that denomination became a sort of nickname for people with a determined profile and a classified personality.

Apart all that the Parioli inspired in the past some writers and famous journalists who described that very special neighbourhood as the birthplace in its kind of a new trendy Rome very different than other places while for someone was an usual quarter to go out enjoying excellent theatre shows,fine Aperitivi and a dinner in stylish and fine restaurants.

Compared to the nearest quarters such as Pinciano,Tor di Quinto,Flaminio and Salario there is practically nothing in common despite the proximity.,it is like to be in different planets and the Parioli in its kind is as an island in itself,so different than those neighbourhoods grew all around its boundaries.

The great and unforgettable Film Director Dino Risi attracted b y that unique metropolitan  reality produced a movie dated 1962  titled Il Sorpasso which translated means the overtake starring the talented and notorious French actor Jean Louis Trintignant and Vittorio Gassman an iconic figure of the Italian cinema and theatre.

That movie is a a clear reference to the young high class of Rome identified in that district in which the French star starring a rich student coming from that area and in that work were greatly described in a very detailed aspects closely related to  the lifestyle and a well marked social identikit of the Parioli.

That neighbourhood is currently identified in the urban municipal plan as the second Roman quarter indicated with the code Q2. Originally it was developed around the ancient Consular Roads Salaria and Flaminia,the modern Viale Parioli and one of its emblematic symbols is undoubtedly the famous Ponte Milvio one of the historic bridges of the Imperial Rome established in the 2nd century and linking the square with the same name to Piazza Cardinal Consalvi.

Relevant is its urban position surrounded by the famous and splendid parks such as Villa Glori,Villa Ada and Villa Borghese among the most scenic and beautiful green lungs of the Italian Capital containing apart a stunning vegetation a relevant historic patrimony.

Those magnificent large verdant spaces were also well known in different historic periods as favourite destination for the highest Roman nobility enjoying their relaxing promenades and in the times of the Dolce Vita when the most inspired and romantic people but also glamorous characters chose those  distinctive  places as a haven escaping for a while by the vibrant Via Veneto,Via Condotti,Piazza Barberini,Piazza Navona and Piazza di Spagna among others.

Today spending an afternoon or a a weekend morning with a pleasant walk in the Parioli is also a great chance to admire those well cared gardens and treed areas which are a considerable attraction of the fascinating frame of a very captivating corner of Rome continuing the day in an evening at theatre in the famous Teatro Parioli and Teatro Euclide but also a place which offers opportunities to enjoy a delicious brunch in one of its fine establishments devoted to Hospitality and catering.


A great place for all that is certainly the  Caffè delle Arti a charming and elegant Cafe located in a wing of the splendid Galleria Nazionale D´Arte Moderna, the National Gallery of Modern Art which is undoubtedly another tempting proposal to take in consideration after or before a break in that site visiting a prestigious  exhibition more than interesting boasting a wide collection of stunning artistic masterpieces displayed along its halls.

That Cafe is the right place to breathe something very particular starting from its location part of that imposing building hosting that important Museum, a  marvellous revival of the most stylish and monumental Neoclassic style mixed in perfect harmony with some modern architectural details.

A line of big and scenic columns with fine capitals placed along a beautiful portico with ample high windows immediately transmit the visitor a sort of grandeur with those great and glitzy elements chose with taste and the name of that establishment is depicted on  pediment under the eaves of that huge light colour construction with a scenic gate as doorway at the entrance of the establishment.

The interior is a sort of hymn to sublime art with beautiful paintings some of them representing allegoric and mythological figures and symbols giving that Cafe a splendid and pure Neoclassic image reminding the ancient Hellenic period but with also a touch of contemporary artistic touch harmoniously melted with an accurate study of lines and perspectives.

The ancient Greece transmitted the Roman world in a notorious historic passage its artistic and architectonic concepts visible in that structure and in the interior you will notice the presence of some items reminiscent all that but at the same time the elegant interior design is also related to the most contemporary period in several trendy details filling its spaces.

The combination with modern elements cleverly selected next to a fine choice of fine furniture placed in the layout are in perfect harmony with rectangular paintings placed on white ivory walls capturing in a while the attention of the customers  while ample doors and large windows transmit the halls the right intensity of light and luminosity. Other highlights are the presence of some stylish neoclassical  sculptures on pedestals placed in strategic points to create  a sort of magic and scenic atmosphere and also to surprise visually the guests.

Very pleasant and attractive is the layout with the presence of stylish round tables perfectly arranged along the rooms with taste close to rectangular windows which have a perfect size to transmit natural light from the exterior to inside giving brightness and creating a very welcoming environment.

In the outdoor terrace were arranged some tables with also the brilliant and great opportunity to enjoy a magnificent view of Valle Giulia, a small  lovely  valley at the foot of the natural hills of Parioli district making also an ideal panoramic palce offering that view and particuarly attractive during a sunny day.

Caffè delle Arti offers a great variety of aperitifs, an excellent list of fine and selected wines, delicious Mediterranean dishes such as pasta,gnocchi,mixed salads,and a a wide choice of ice cream.The staff is kind and professional loyal to the finest Hospitality,a very pleasant place to enjoy a great and fine brunch in the Italian Capital.

That establishment is suggested for everyone,couples searching a break after a romantic walk in those magnificent and iconic Roman parks, a very appropriate choice for all those who want to visit that exhibition related to contemporary art enjoying a break in the same place but also for who desire to have a meal before to go to theatre.

The excellent quality of the service, the scenic atmosphere all around and much more the proximity of different superb attractions make Caffe Delle Arti an inviting site just two steps from the emblematic and fascinating Villa Borghese with the chance to visit the stunning Museo e Galleria Borghese situated in  a great setting of a unique scenery all to enjoy.

Situated in Via Antonio Gramsci at the civic number 73 you can reach the Cafe from Piazzale Flaminio by tube A and from there in less than ten minutes walking you will there or in alternative from Pincio stopping at the tube Station Spagna with the chance to enjoy a pleasant walk crossing Villa Borghese park.I added some links below to know more that place and some others if you are interested to organise some visits in the Italian capital.
