Fischio Rome
Lively summer bar near the Vatican
When Rome gets hot in the summer (or even in the spring!) I immediately start looking for bars with plenty of outside space - there's nothing better than a morning coffee or a late night beer outside when it's warm!
Fischio is one of my go-to places for this - mainly because it's just outside my house, but even if it wasn't, I'd make the journey to go there anyway. Run by a really cool bunch of guys, it's really just a kiosk on the street - but they've added plenty of outdoor seating, umbrellas and fairy lights to make it a welcoming place to come and meet friends.
It's open all day, for pastries and coffee in the morning (a whole breakfast for just €2.20!) to drinks in the evening. It's really reasonably priced, and there's often live music or DJ sets to accompany your drink. They do cocktails, a great range of beer and organic wines, so there's something for every taste - if you're planning on popping by though, best to go early because it's always packed with locals!

Caffè Ciamei
Oldest license for coffee in Rome
"Caffè Ciamei" has the oldest coffee license in Rome and it's still one of my favorite places in town to get a cup. Try their cremina instead of sugar!
