Chiosco Mentana
What to expect
An open-air kiosk in Piazza Mentana (Cinque Vie), open since 1947, known informally as 'Chiringuito del Mojito' — wooden benches and outdoor tables with no fixed seating plan create a casual, mixed crowd of local workers and residents having a summer aperitivo.
How to approach
No table service or reservations — you order at the counter and sit wherever there's space, which naturally puts strangers at the same bench or table together.
