Nightlife in San Lorenzo

Mazzo ★ 4.5

€€€San LorenzoTue-Sat vineria from 18:00, dining from 19:00-23:30, closed Sun-Mon

Mazzo reopened in San Lorenzo in 2023 as the second act of Francesca Barreca and Marco Baccanelli's Centocelle original, a listening trattoria with sound-absorbing panels, a wide vinyl rotation and a separate vineria bar that opens an hour before the dining room.

Tip: The vineria opens at 18:00 with half plates and bar snacks, no reservation needed; the main room takes one seating per evening with bookings via the site. Wine list is short and natural-leaning.

Bar dei Brutti ★ 4.1

€San LorenzoDaily 18:00-02:00

Bar dei Brutti has been a San Lorenzo dive anchor since 2011, with two scruffy inside rooms, outdoor tables on Via dei Volsci and an under-five-euro cocktail list that draws students and locals through the late hours of the university quarter.

Tip: Cash works best; the cocktails are cheap and strong. The piazza around the corner is the late-night spillover when the bar fills.
