Tram Depot in Rome

28 Feb, 2019

A kiosk bar in the style of a tram carriage makes for an unusual but popular meeting place in the area of Rome where Aventino converges with Testaccio.

Seating is strictly out-doors, with mismatched tables and chairs and even a swing-seat, tucked away under exotic plants, and illuminated with candles by night.

Tram Depot brings a quirky splash of colour to an area otherwise noted for its busy traffic junction and Rationalist-style post office.

The venue is frequented mainly by Rome residents but also tourists who stumble upon it after visiting the nearby Non-Catholic Cemetery or the Pyramid of Cestius.

Tram Depot serves great coffee, cornetti, sandwiches, smoothies, grattachecca in the summer months, craft beer and cocktails. Open 08.00-02.00, from spring to autumn. No toilet facilities.
