Life in Rome – Ercoli 1928 Parioli


I have resided in Parioli for a year now as well as like it.  When I told people I was moving from the historic center to Parioli, everybody had an viewpoint (mostly negative).

“It’s so boring,” was one of the primary criticisms I heard concerning Parioli.  Granted, it’s not as interesting as living around the corner from the Drunken Ship however that’s okay.

There are lots of excellent locations in this community to get your aperitivi on as well as the costs are much lower than the Center. That said, it is a much more residential area.  There are seldom any type of tourists as well as while there are rather a few American as well as British expats living in Parioli, I seem to bump into them only at the DOC or Carrefour supermarkets.

The newest addition to the ‘hood is Ercoli 1928 Parioli as well as I am right here for it.  I satisfied a good friend for an aperitivo during the holidays. The very first person I saw when we walked in was Federico Tomasselli, the bar manager as well as one of the very best bartenders in Rome. What a extremely enjoyable surprise!  He utilized to be at Barnum on through del Pellegrino.  I lived on Pellegrino as well as spent a great deal of time at Barnum since of Federico as well as Patrick (Patrick is now at Caffe Propaganda).

My good friend as well as I sat at the bar as well as liked it.  The bar’s specialty is Vermouth. My good friend stated their drink was outstanding.  If you don’t drink Vermouth, no worries.  Ercoli’s red wine listing is deep as well as they have a solid mixed drinks listing too.

I returned with one more good friend the other week as well as this time around we sat in the front since the bar was still setting up.

We purchased glasses of red wine as well as the Italian cheese plate.  Outstanding.

The service was excellent as well as everybody was friendly.  count on me, this is not the norm in Rome where service can variety from indifference to outright hostility.  Ha.

My good friend chosen up some takeout for her husband.  I requirement to ask her exactly how the meatballs were. The cheese choice is amazing as well as will be problematic.  I haven’t eaten lunch or dinner right here yet however have heard extremely positive evaluations about chef Andrea di Raimo’s dishes.

If you like cheese, this is the place.

There are people don’t care exactly how a location looks as long as the drinks are great.  I’m not one of those people.  For food, it’s a different story.  There are fantastic restaurants that don’t have much of a décor however it’s alright since the food is on point.  However, when it come to aperitivi/cocktails, environment is likewise extremely essential to me.

Ercoli Parioli knocks it out of the park.  The area is split into three areas.  There’s a restaurant, a deli, as well as the bar/cantina.

The designer is Roberto Liorni, who’s accountable for a number of of my preferred restaurant areas including, Pastificio San Lorenzo a Roma, Rosti, as well as ‘Gusto. The latter opened in 1998 as well as other restaurants are still “referencing” it.  Liorni was likewise the designer for the film business Cattleya’s headquarters.  All these locations have their own vibe however with his unmistakable DNA, contemporary, chic, yet comfortable.

I adore the interior style at Ercoli.  It’s not trying to be the Roman version of a area in Soho or on Abbot Kinney.  It fits the community as well as doesn’t look like every single restaurant that has opened recently.  I like the plaid…an unforeseen touch.
