Baccano

Baccano is a glamorous American-style brasserie on Via delle Muratte, only a short walk from the Trevi Fountain, designed as an all-day destination that glides from morning espresso through lunch, aperitivo, dinner and late cocktails. The interior is its calling card: a richly detailed Art Deco room of brass, marble, dark wood and mirrored surfaces, evoking a 1920s grand café and giving the space a theatrical, dressed-up energy unusual for the streets immediately around the fountain. The menu is deliberately broad, blending Roman staples with international brasserie comfort food—an amatriciana and well-made supplì sit alongside club sandwiches, burgers, raw-bar selections and aged steaks such as a substantial bistecca. This versatility makes it a useful one-stop venue for groups with differing tastes or for travellers wanting a reliable, polished meal at flexible hours in a very central location. The bar is a genuine strength, with an ambitious cocktail list and skilled bartenders that draw an evening crowd for pre- and post-dinner drinks. Service is professional and the pace can be quick given the tourist footfall of the district. Atmosphere ranges from relaxed at breakfast to lively and loud by night, particularly at the bar; smart-casual dress fits the polished surroundings. Prices are pitched for the central setting, with pastas around €14 and main courses such as the bistecca near €28, higher than a neighbourhood trattoria but in line with the location and ambience. Reservations are recommended for dinner and for prime aperitivo hours, especially at weekends, and can be made through the restaurant directly, though the long all-day service means walk-ins often find space at quieter times.
