A Trastevere institution for the Roman ritual of aperitivo — set in a former mechanic’s garage (the name means “brakes and clutches”), now a bohemian bar with a generous evening buffet included with your drink. The crowd spills out onto the little piazza above the river with spritzes and cocktails in hand. Buzzy, cheap-ish and quintessentially Trastevere; get there early for the buffet.
