Explore the vibrant and historic Pigneto neighborhood with our exclusive "Candlelight Happy Hour in Pigneto." Known for its bohemian atmosphere, this neighborhood was the setting for classic Italian films like Pasolini's "Accattone" and has become one of Rome's most dynamic areas for arts and nightlife.
Your experience begins in the late afternoon, meeting at the Via Casilina exit of Pigneto Metro Station C. This area is deeply rooted in history, having evolved from an ancient Roman vineyard to a working-class suburb, and played a significant role during the resistance in World War II. Today, Pigneto is celebrated for its pedestrian streets lined with colorful murals, cool bars, and diverse culinary scene.
As the sun sets, you'll be guided to a unique local spot known for its charm and historical significance. Here, beneath the modern streets, lies an ancient underground space where your happy hour takes place. This hidden gem offers a refreshing respite from the hustle and bustle of the city, where you can enjoy the soft glow of candlelight and the rustic ambiance of aged brick walls.
During happy hour, you'll enjoy a selection of specially selected wines, each representing a different era in Italian winemaking history. These wines will be paired with a variety of traditional appetizers, including local cheeses and cured meats, homemade gnocchi, and classic focaccia. Each pairing is carefully chosen to highlight the flavors and history of the region. Our food and wine expert will provide insights into the historical significance of the dishes, the evolution of Pigneto's culinary landscape, and the historic vineyards from which the wines come.
This tour not only offers a taste of Pigneto's nightlife, but also an immersive experience into the historical layers that define this unique Roman district, making it a must-see for those looking to discover the city beyond its tourist paths.
