8millimetri

Fabulous cocktails with apertivo after 4 p.m. Save your eating money, there is drinking to do…
Such friendly bartenders too! It feels like you are drinking at home… just not all sad and lonely like.

We we’re looking for a casual place for a drink and found it right around the busy corner of pizza trilussa. This place is easy to miss, but worth the visit. They have games to play and cool people to meet. Also, the bar tenders know what they are doing. You won’t find many tourists here which is nice, and they have aperitivo!

Caimos acá de casualidad por estar en el barrio y el bar es una onda hostel medio punk con una barra medio pelo.
El lugar en sí me gustó la onda, paredes pintadas, mesa de metegol, sillones raros, etc. pero los tragos dejaban mucho que desear.

Fantastic bartenders! At the end of an 18 day European tour, we found ourselves in the lovely Trastavere neighborhood in this lovely bar. I think it was the extensive apertivo vegetarian buffet that drew us in. We are carnivores but this selection is tasty and complimentary! We stayed because of the friendly staff and the best bartender we had encountered all trip. Andreas, is a true barman, making delicious cocktails with passion and attention to craft. The vibe is hip with artful design and the crowd might seem young, but I would encourage all to give this spot a go, because Andreas, Emma and Conrad are fantastic and welcoming to all. The place may seem too cool for school or pretentious, but these people are not! Such a treat for us to experience such great service at the end of our long journey.

This bar is easy to miss in the busy Trastevere area but I would say seek it out, particularly for their aperitivo (Italian happy hour) which runs until 10pm. Aperitivio just means that they have complimentary assorted appetizers available buffet style with any purchase of a drink. We found the selection to be pretty vegetarian friendly which was a big plus.
The general vibe is more laid back with good music playing in background (I remember Sigur Ros in particular because I made a mental note to start listening to them again). Bartender was sweet and friendly and encouraged me to try the Italian Bloody Mary when I looked apprehensive because it was made with wine (Bloody verdict? different. not bad, but not preferred).

My friends and I (total 9 of us) were visiting in August of 2015 and came upon this bar after our dinner nearby. We had a crazy drink that I don’t even know the name of but was awesome! We sat at a long table and played some drinking games and just talked and laughed for about 30 minutes, I want to say.
Very relaxing and chill environment and not too crowded — we did go on a weekday. The ambiance of the place was a bit concerning at first because it had warm red lights, but found it fitting after walking in.

Qué nostalgia!
Uno de los mejores lugares en los que comí estilo BUFFET a la italiana.
Paso a explicar el estilo Buffet: dese las 18 hs (horario de cena europeo) se abre una especie de salad bar con distintas exquisiteces típicas italianas (pizzas, pastas, ensaladas, bollitos, pescados con legumbres, etc…) lo bueno de todo esto es que ES LIBRE! nosotros sólo consumimos la bebida –que está un poco más cara de lo normal, sólo un poco-​. Entonces se disfruta de un buen aperitivo a la italiana (aperol + champagne + soda + rodaja de naranja) y eso te da acceso a la mesa buffet.
Así, hasta las 9 de la noche, libre, con más aperitivos increíbles, mientras los platos pasan y se renuevan.
No se puede negar que… Es buenísimo!
Y este lugar es un referente del estilo Buffet Italiano en la zona más canchera para pasar un sábado a la noche en Roma: Trastévere.
PD$= Los precios de las bebidas van desde 6eur una gaseosa chica, hasta 12, 15 los tragos más elaborados.

8millimetri was right next to my apartment rental in Trastevere. I very much enjoyed it! I had my new favorite, aperol spritz. There is a good selection of cocktails, beer and wine; they even make their own ‘infusion’, which I tried and was good! Aperetivo in Rome is typically served from evening til 10 pm. This means, free (Yes, FREE) snacks with purchase of a cocktail. The music and ambience was good, and the bartender was really friendly and made sure we were happy with our cocktails! Mostly locals were there (except for us)! Check it out!

Ma sœur m’avait prévenu: Rome c’est beau, c’est super, mais il n’y a pas que l’hypercentre qui compte, il y a aussi le quartier de Trastevere (comprenez «au-​delà du Tibre») qui est très jeune, moins de touristes et plus d’Italiens et moins cher.
On s’est donc aventuré dans ce quartier, sans oublié de regarder sur Unilocal quelques avis de bars et de restaurants. On est ainsi tombé sur 8millimetri, un bar très tendance, avec plein de cachet. L’intérieur est vraiment superbe.
Par contre, on a décidé d’y aller avant de manger vers 19h30−20h et il n’y avait personne. Le barman n’était vraiment pas sympa, et c’est ça qui leur fait perdre une étoile. En gros, il n’était pas souriant du tout, et quand je lui parlais italien, il me répondait en anglais, ce qui est très vexant !
Ou autre exemple: il fallait qu’on aille lui donner la commande, puis qu’on aille les chercher. Sauf qu’il né nous l’avait pas dit, ce qui nous a fait perdre du temps, et il aurait pu faire un effort sachant qu’on était les seuls dans le bar.
Niveau cocktail, j’avoue né plus me souvenir du tout des noms des cocktails, ni même de leur composition (bon j’avoue, on n’avait pas tout compris non plus!).
Comptez environ 8 € le cocktail, c’est assez cher pour le quartier, mais le cocktail et l’endroit en valent le coups.
C’était vraiment très bon, très bien présenté (un petit goût de Dandy en Italie ;)), et ils étaient bien chargés ahah (à moins que le soleil né m’ait tapé sur la tête!).
Malgré le barman, j’ai passé un bon moment, en buvant un délicieux cocktail. Peut-​être que le serveur est plus sympa avec des Italiens, qui sait !
PS: entre l’écriture de l’avis et mon voyage en Italie, ils ont créé un site internet, n’hésitez pas à aller voir !
