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!
