Terrazza Borromini
Terrazza Borromini is a rooftop restaurant in Rome, Italy, located on the fourth floor of a historic building near Piazza Navona. The dining room opens onto a terrace with views over the square and surrounding rooftops, while a bar on the fifth floor offers a full panorama of the city.
The building dates back to the 17th century and was closed to the public for many years until it reopened as a restaurant and bar. Its location next to the gallery and Santa Agnese church connects the venue to Rome's baroque history.
The restaurant's name recalls Francesco Borromini, a famous baroque architect who worked in Rome during the 17th century. Guests dine here surrounded by historic facades and church domes that make the city's cultural heritage visible.
Reservations are strongly recommended as seating is limited and can fill up quickly, especially in the evening. The fifth-floor bar opens from 6:30 pm and is accessible only by prior booking, ensuring a quieter atmosphere.
The bell tower next to the terrace rings every day at noon, giving guests an audible moment amid the city's noise. The white sofas on the rooftop were once reserved for private events but are now open to all visitors with a reservation.
