History
The Early Years and the 20th Century:
Bar della Pace opened in 1891 in the heart of Rome’s historic center. During the 20th century, it became a favorite haunt of intellectuals, artists, and celebrities. Frequented by figures from the worlds of cinema and culture such as Federico Fellini, Mario Monicelli, Alberto Sordi, Sophia Loren, and Marcello Mastroianni, it enjoyed international fame. International celebrities such as Al Pacino and Madonna have sat at the bar’s tables.
A symbol of "La Dolce Vita"
In the 1950s and 1960s, during the “Dolce Vita” era, the Bar della Pace was at the heart of Rome’s social scene. Thanks to its proximity to Piazza Navona and the Chiostro del Bramante, it was often associated with the city’s artistic and intellectual circles and was frequented by writers, painters, and filmmakers.
The restaurant
After being closed for eight years, the Bar della Pace reopened to the public in 2024 following a renovation that preserved its original charm. Today, the venue has expanded its culinary offerings while maintaining a strong connection to Roman cuisine, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as after-dinner entertainment featuring DJ sets and live music.
