Posted 22 Jan 2020 (edited) Three supermakets and a wine shop in the city center and they don't stock Martini Dry. I already accepted the tragedy I couldn't find a decent cocktail anywhere but home, Spritz mania killed the barmen, but I'd never thought I'd have to take the underground to have a Vodka Martini on my sofa.

Shameful Actually in Rome there are very few cocktail bars, fuc**** pretencious and expensive, where the barman poses like a Beethoven of the cocktails. The last shelters are some of the bar of luxury hotels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
