Riassunto

The caffe is indisputably central to Roman life. Cafe Life Rome is the first guide book dedicated solely to the cafes and bars of Rome. This book, with its rich photography and informed descriptions, steers travellers to Rome's 22 best bars and to the perfect caffee. Some of these establishments are hundreds of years old and some are relatively young, but each has a story to tell. These cafes also offer food and drink at reasonable prices, but you can also try one of the specialities of the house which is worth a small splurge. Visitors will be able to choose a comfortable bar close to their accommodations, make it a haunt of their own and watch the Romani at close quarters. It may even be a place where Hemingway or Fellini came to unwind too.

Recensione

Although Cafe Life Rome deserves a spot in your carry-on luggage, it's also a treat for those who rarely journey beyond their living room. Roger Paperno's photographs and Joe Wolff's descriptions bring the city's drinking establishments to life. --Time Out New York

A quirky book with offbeat, sometimes offhand, charm, Cafe Life Rome profiles 22 central-city Roman cafes, with five gelaterias thrown into the mix. Wolff features long quotations from proprietors who talk about the history of their place, who once worked there, who famously played around there, and so on. You can discover where Fellini hung out when he was making 'La Dolce Vita' and order his favorite sweet. Photography by Roger Paperno rounds the book out nicely. --San Francisco Chronicle
