THE TEMPLE OF NIGHTLIFE IN ROME
In October of 1987 was born at a stone’s throw from the Spanish steps, Gilda an elegant, comfortable and sophisticated night club in the heart of the city, and it soon became the living room of worldly Roman nights. A great success that has never really slowed down: loved and hated now as then, The Gilda is the meeting place for actors, writers, politicians and artists and one of the better known clubs in the city. Here you must be properly dressed and to get in is necessary to pass a selection that can be called “strict” to say the least.
Today it is difficult to name a public personality who has never been at the Gilda, or one of them who has never chosen it at least once to celebrate there the premiere of a film or their birthday. In my opinion there is no formula for success, especially in this business so dependant on fashion and mood, anyway a couple of ingredients that have helped to build the Gilda’s success are professionalism, passion, a devoted staff, a youthful attitude and a strong constitution, because they must sleep so little!
A new destination for the trendy crowd in the capital is the restaurant and sushi bar, LE CRU, attached to the disco but independent of it. A warm and welcoming place, that uses functional wooden sculptures and original works of art, where you can eat until late at night, drinking and chatting in a friendly and lively music lounge, or just chill out with a great soundtrack. The menu proposes large dishes of Mediterranean cuisine, in addition to shellfish, sushi and sashami, accompanied by a sophisticated selection of wine and spirits.
As mentioned above the Gilda is located only a few blocks away from the Spanish steps, so to get there just get off at Spagna sation and then follow this map. Their address is Via Mario De’ Fiori 97. And if you are coming back from there after 11:30 (when the subway shuts down) just take the bus n5 from Via del Tritone to get to the Termini station where are the conveniently located Hotel Des Artistes and Yes Hotel!
