Just Cavalli Café
April 4, 2008
Forget your run-of-the-mill everyday local bars, every now and then you need to splash out on a see-and-be-seen place. And where better than Roberto Cavalli’s over-the-top cafe. Animal skins, tented ceilings, goldfish bowls, and of course just about the best-dressed crowd in the world’s best-dressed city. What’s not to like? And if you don’t find a model or designer to chat to, don’t worry, you’ve got beautiful views out over the Parco Sempione instead.

Sleight of Heart, the new, stripped down, album from this former Arab Strap man, is mesmeric stuff, intrigued by the simpleness of the arrangements and drawn in by the tunes on piano and guitar. The barbed lyrics remain but the depressive tendencies seem to be undercut by a more playful sense of humour than usual on the new tracks. We’ve gone on about the Garage here before I’m sure but I can’t help thinking this is going to be ideal for new numbers like Love Comes in Waves and I’m looking forward to the prospect of an encore of the Christmas Number One that never was, the roaring sing-a-long of We’re All Going to Die.

Cafe Notegen
February 14, 2008
Truly lost in time, a place where we come and imagine the last 100 years have never happened. We challenge you to find a cafe more charming than this.
Historically, this was a gathering place for Rome’s intellectual and artistic elite, which is as appealing to our egos as to our sense of cultural history. Even Bertolucci has shown his face here.
Open late, serving food and alcohol as well as fine coffee this is one of those unique cafes that are sadly being multinationalised out of many our world’s great cities.
There are often debates, poetry recitals and photographic exhibitions, which can nourish your creative soul as you nourish your physical body.
Ultrabeat @ Goa Club
February 14, 2008
This is an extremely long running, weekly club night in a venue that hosts an array of ear-pounding successful club nights in a lively and vibrant district of the city.
The ethos, to us, seems to be bringing all of Goa’s chilled-out comforts and tranced-up techno vibes to Rome. Presented in a swaggeringly cool and trendy setting with a relaxed, rather than exclusive, atmosphere and definitely far more for the hipsters than the hippies.
Easily and regularly attracting superstar DJs, on Thursday 21st Sven Vath, currently on a world tour, is dropping in.
