Love this place, love this hood. If you are used to 4-5 star hotels and Rockwellian neighborhoods this is not your place. If you want to feel the pulse of the working, artistic, young part of Rome then this is your spot. Similar to Bushwick in NYC. Easy commute to Colosseum(20-30 min), but you do have some limiting factors to get back late at night if you are enjoying the nightlife in other areas. However, there is so much to do at night in Pigneto it's not an issue. Alberto is a great host and the place is clean, spacious and airconditioned. Warning, there is a hand made gelato shop next door that is killer. The dude makes his own whipped cream! There are some absolute knock out restaurants too. Don't tell your square friends about this area, let's keep it hip hop!
