Antico Podere In Roma

28/11/2025: Exceptional Stravinsky signature cocktail

24/11/2025: I returned to the Stravinskij Bar at the Hotel de Russie, and I must say it's an absolutely worthwhile experience, even if it's not perfect. Atmosphere and Location The highlight is undoubtedly the atmosphere: the secret garden is an oasis of tranquility in the heart of Rome, with lush plants, fountains, and elegant tables. Many reviewers speak of a modern "dolce vita," and that's no exaggeration. Drinks and Menu The cocktails are meticulously crafted: creative, well-balanced, and made with quality ingredients. The menu (including the food) is refined—dishes like gourmet toasts, salads, and small finger foods are highly appreciated. Service The staff is generally professional and knowledgeable: many guests praise the bartenders, and there's a genuine attention to service. However, some reviews report slow service, especially during busy periods, or somewhat distracted waiters. Prices It's not a cheap bar: the prices are decidedly "luxury hotel" prices, but the beauty of the location and the quality of the drinks justify the expense. Some Elegant location, perfect for a romantic aperitif or a refined break; truly well-crafted drinks; very charming garden. Cons: High price; service could be smoother during busy periods. If you want to treat yourself to a sophisticated experience and aren't afraid to splurge, the Stravinskij Bar is an excellent choice for a classy aperitif in the heart of Rome. It's not a "quick and easy" place, but its magic lies precisely in its elegant slowness and discreet luxury.
