Emerald’S In Roma

Drinks are very good, service is excellent, atmosphere is nice, music is nice, and the food is delicious.

"This lonely Covid was so dear to me," half-cited. Opened shortly before the pandemic, this pub-cocktail bar, with a style reminiscent of the roaring 1920s, exudes a calm and intimate atmosphere, with soft electric lighting and miniature candles at the tables. The well-chosen music doesn't overwhelm; in fact, it's almost audible only inside the place. Outside, on the street, around the black iron tables, in a mix of essential furnishings somewhere between coastal and colonial, are scattered chairs and sofas, also in matching black and iron, adorned with emerald green cushions embroidered in yellow. Upon entering, on the left, the walls are furnished with sofas and upholstered tables, inviting you to recline and dine; To the immediate right, the wall is occupied by a solid wood bookcase that rises to the ceiling, from which emerges a shelf overlooking two large stools. The bookcase holds large hardback and paperback volumes that fit well with the space. At the center of the shelf, disrupting the otherwise polished look of the shelves, stands a roulette wheel. Almost hidden, between the bookcase and the corner of the counter, a handful of steps lead to the basement, where the restroom is located. Meticulously detailed, with black-and-white paintings of nudes and risqué 1920s poses around the doorframes and the sink mirror, the counter takes up the entire wall, save for a small door on the right, which leads to the kitchen. Breaking up the theme without appearing crude, to the left of the counter is a flamboyant, life-size reproduction of a large African feline. Finger food served sparingly, to the extreme, the quality is undeniable, from the feta wrapped in fried baskets drizzled with honey to the dark tortillas with guacamole and a carrot and celery dip. Enjoyable selection of wines and cocktails. Courteous and helpful staff. I admit, the photo is terrifying, but I didn't immediately check the result. We'll be back.

This was a fantastic cocktail bar in the Prati neighborhood of Rome. Wonderfully decorated, and comfortable seating with low light giving a great mood. The cocktails were amazing, and pretty creative. I will definitely revisit and I highly recommend it!

The cutest little bar and non touristy but great vibes, good music and good drinks.

Great bar to have a cocktail and be in a different atmosphere than usual, maybe the prices are a little high but it's a nice experience

The music selection was fantastic and the atmosphere was welcoming, entertaining, and comfortable. The one thing keeping me from leaving a 5-star review is that I thought the elderflower syrup was overly sweet, making the drink feel syrupy. My partner’s cocktail was also a little too sweet. Two other very minor points of constructive feedback: we got the chips and expected fries. The chips were delicious anyway. for the price, I would like a longer drink. Not necessarily more alcohol, just more volume to sip on. Especially since the sweet drinks are a little dehydrating.

Lovely little place. Great service. Charleston style. I'll update to May 2025 and I confirm my personal experience, 100% positive. The guy who took our order was competent and polite and I really liked the gin and tonic. I had a good time at the outside table, the tables are very nice. It's almost always full since there aren't many seats, so I warn you, you'll have to be lucky.

We stopped for lunch and Raffaele was very good at advising us on what to get, friendly and professional, the pinsa was simply excellent. I recommend it to everyone.

For a unique, elevated cocktail experience this is your place. We’ve been looking for a good cocktail bar since we got to Rome and felt giddy from the moment we walked in! Super cool atmosphere and even more amazing cocktails. As a craft cocktailer myself, I was happy to spend the extra money for these thoughtful, upscale drinks. Our favorite was the passionfruit milk punch topped with a light foam with notes of chocolate. Thanks to Nello for the fantastic service!

Excellent service. The atmosphere is very cool. I recommend it.
