There are many terraces in Rome, but few have the same charm as Terrazza Borromini. They are the top floors of Palazzo Pamphilj, a mansion designed by Borromini in the 17th century in the centre of Piazza Navona and now one of the most exclusive venues in Rome. Inside the historic residence can be enjoyed one of the most breathtaking happy hours in the city.
On the top floor of the Palazzo Pamphilj, the rooftop La Grande Bellezza welcomes visitors with an unforgettable view, unique in the world: the terrace overlooks Piazza Navona, the roofs of Rome and the neighbouring church of Sant’Agnese in Agone, but the view extends far beyond, towards the Dome of Saint Peter and the Campidoglio. An exclusive place for an unforgettable happy hour with Rome at your feet. The food and wine on offer is of the highest level: the rooftop bar offers an extensive wine list and a wide range of cocktails mixed by the skilful hands of expert mixologists. The drinks are accompanied by sweet and savoury appetisers, to enhance the drinks as only the refined cuisine of Terrazza Borromini knows how to do.

Prices, as you can easily imagine, are not among the cheapest in the city, but the cost is repaid by the quality of the products, and above all by the experience of being at the top of Rome, inside a priceless building. Palazzo Pamphilj is a unique concentration of art set between the bell tower of Sant’Agnese, that allows to see one of the most beautiful parts of the city from a completely new perspective.
