There are two reasons to walk down Via della Conciliazione. The first is St. Peter’s. The second is CHORUS Cafè, and honestly, it’s a tough call.
Hidden on the second floor of the Auditorium della Conciliazione, this is one of the best restaurants and cocktail bars in Rome and one of the city’s best kept secrets near the Vatican.
Marble floors, golden details, floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking St. Peter’s dome. This is where Italian tradition meets something entirely new.
Chef Arcangelo Dandini, one of Rome’s most celebrated chefs, serves reimagined Italian classics: his carbonara, his Roman supplì, dishes rooted in traditional Roman cuisine but served like you’ve never had them before. At the bar, Massimo D’Addezio, internationally awarded mixologist and one of Italy’s best bartenders, crafts signature cocktails so precise you can trust him blindfolded. Just say what you’re in the mood for, and he’ll do the rest.
From aperitivo to after-dinner, Thursday to Saturday the lights go down, the DJ steps in, and CHORUS becomes Rome’s best nightlife secret. Open until 2am.
Not only a restaurant. Not only a bar. An experience.
Save this for your next trip to Rome.
📍CHORUS Cafè — Via della Conciliazione 4, Rome Italy
