Daje, tonight we go out.

Evenings in Rome

Rome lives its evenings on the street. You meet in a piazza, have a late dinner in a trattoria and then walk: a drink in Trastevere, a chat on the steps, one last glass in Monti. The historic centre is the backdrop to everything, even without a set plan.

The hard part is making it all fit: the traffic, the public transport, the friends who say "let's talk" and then vanish. YesTonite gets straight to the point: see who is out tonight, break the ice with one message and decide together where to go.

In summer the city moves outdoors: stalls and music along the Tiber, a grattachecca (shaved ice with syrup) from a kiosk, and nights that end when the heat finally lets up.

People go out mostly Thursday to Saturday, and in summer during the week too. Dinner is around nine or later, and the real night starts after eleven.
