Pubblng in the Park by goodfish
I loved the parks in Rome. Not only are they designed for people of all ages to actually use (vs just for youth sports), the largest of them have outdoor bars. Yes, you can have an espresso, glass of wine, mixed drink, beer, snack and even a cigar. During the warmer months, they are marvelous places to escape the crowds, catch some shade and hang out with lively Italian families doing the same. The two pictures I've included here are from cafe/bars in Villa Borghese and Parco Colle Oppio. These venues tend to be low-key and perfectly acceptable for children as a "bar" in Italy probably serves more coffee than alcohol. We saw lots of little ones playing around tables and in adjoining green spaces while the grownups chatted. Same stand-up/sit-down pricing applies as at indoor venues.
