The Court Cocktail Bar

El lugar es soñado, la atención y los tragos increíbles. Para volver siempre que pasas por Roma.

Nous avons eu 1/2 h d’attente alors que nous avions réservé à 23h45 !! Malheureusement il y avait eu un orage … donc on nous a emmené dans une chambre d’hôtel attenante pour nous servir notre cocktail… on s’est retrouvé dans la cuisine de la chambre !! Tout seul !!! Aucune explication!! Nous n’avons même pas aperçu le bar ou les préparations !! Mais on a quand même payé 27€ le verre !! Après avoir attendu 1 heure !! Hallucinant !!! Ce n’est qu’en partant qu’on a pu apercevoir le bar et se rendre compte qu’il y avait de la place qui avait été libérée !! On ne nous y a pas convié !! Par beau temps, ça doit être superbe … mais si il pleut, surtout, restez chez vous ! C’est un endroit à fuir !!

Posto molto bello, vicino al Colosseum Coctaili perfetti Servizio molto buono

nice view with heater friendly host and server very nice drink

Loved it, the view of the coloseum was awesome just the dampner of the night was the rain but perfect highly reccomend

Everything was excellent – from the food to the service! We’ll definitely be back again soon!

View is only nice for 4 tables or else you're just looking at the back of people's heads. Waiters are not attentive. Drinks are over priced. Bummer, I was really looking forward to it.

We enjoyed our time very much and everything went very very very well, thank you

I arrived and stood in line for the reservation. I couldn't get into the photo booth and was put inside the bar. It started to rain. A cold experience.

Good service, I would totally recommend it. They offered tapas with the drinks, both of them were amazing.

Went my birthday in this day and i went surprised with a cake, i think so amazing. The Staff went amazing too.

We had a wonderful experience. I was so tired prior to our reservation time. So much that I almost cancelled. So glad we didn’t as they didn’t let us down at all. I suggest asking them for a drink with an amazing presentation.

Service was amazing! What a wonderful way to ring in my birthday.

WOWW! Exceptional drinks, service, and ambience. Night views of the colosseum were incredible and there was fireworks!

The price of a coca cola is 15 euros. The food isso very common ... the taste isn't good.

200€ for 2 hours of amazing views and great cocktails - worth it!

The waiters were very attentive and kind and informative. …snacks with cocktails were a lovely bonus as the drinks were not cheap! Bar tender and management seemed a little bit aloof. . Which I found off putting and was a shame. View of Colliseum at night was stunning.

An amazing experience, staff were excellent, friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend going when in Rome.

What an amazing experience with a view to remember. The staff are so friendly. They could not do enough for you. The snacks were out of this world. An experience that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much xx

I paid €50 for 2 glasses of wine 😐😳 Terrible

I made a reservation , my table was behind everything , no view , expensive drinks and low variety of food

Great place to have tasty cocktails and complimentary snacks with a great view of the Colosseum.

Perfect experience for a cozy date night with stunning views and good drinks!

Abbiamo mangiato benissimo e speso il giusto. Ingredienti freschi e sapori autentici. Una cena veramente apprezzata!

Great bar. Staff very attentive and we had an amazing view of the colosseum. Would definitely recommend coming here if you’re in Rome

There are very limited seats sith a good view of the colesseum. Even after specifying that I reserved a table to celebrate my partner's birthday, and being the third party in line, we spent the evening staring at other couples' back. I will not be back, nor recommend this bar to anyone.

View was great, champagne was good. Cocktails were extremely underwhelming, especially for the price.

Great staff, amazing cock tails, even better finger foods. The view, out of this world. We'll worth any price to experience this.

Just fine, nothing remarkable. Only a few tables have views to Collisseo

Era un servizio sorprendente, grazie mille per tutto ! !

Amazing service. Amazing drinks. Amazing view and ambiance. The most memorable experience on our trip.

It was an amazing experience, drinks, service and views were excellent 🤩 I can’t recommend this bar enough!

Excellent views attention and food, nice place, can’t wait to come back !

Como siempre que voy a The Court, todo es un disfrute.Los tragos excelentes el acompañamiento es bueno y el ambiente insuperable.

We had the best time at the court this Saturday with the most breathtaking view to Colosseum. Service and drinks was on top! Thanks for this Amazing experience.

Very bad experience. Long queue at the front. Made one of our group go back to their hotel to change their shoes, even though they were not ‘sporty shoes’, and many other guests were wearing trainers. We booked two tables, and they were apart. The table next to one of our tables offered to swap but the restaurant staff wouldn’t allow it! Inside was overly pretentious. Staff were unhelpful, and unfriendly. The no sport shoes policy seemed to not apply to other guests in trainers because they were spending a lot of money. We were also over charged, prices differed for the same cocktail. 27€ and 32€. Food was stale. Very disappointed and would not ever recommend or go back.

Great view and good drinks We were happy to queue even after reservation

Great venue, nice atmosphere. Toilet facilities lacking for more than one person at a time

Ottimo gin tonic fatto salvo la pessima accoglienza ed un pessimo atteggiamento nel servizio. Davvero un ambiente surreale, unica eccezione la vista. Con rammarico esperienza da non ripetere.

Pretentious, rude staff and terrible service overall. Would not recommend.

When Gigi and I arrived at The Court at Palazzo Manfredi, right on time for our reservation, we didn’t exactly get the Roman welcome we’d envisioned. Ten minutes loitering on the cobblestones—dressed to the nines, naturally—felt more like a stamina test than a luxe prelude. Still, the promise of that Colosseum view kept us from storming the gates. Vibe & Aesthetic: Once seated (eventually), the reward landed. The terrace stares straight at the Colosseum, lit up like a timeless diva against Rome’s afternoon sky. Sleek tables—well, not ours, a pint-sized affair barely bigger than an open school binder—soft lighting, lounge vibes, and a chic, well stocked bar whispered “luxe.” It’s Italian elegance with a modern edge, a spot where you sip and channel Fellini, sans paparazzi. Service Swagger: Here’s where the chariot stalls. Ten minutes to be noticed at our table, then a 25-minute wait for drinks—were they chiseling the ice from the Colosseum? Complimentary olives, nuts, or whatever small bites blessed every other guest only hit us after a nudge, arriving 35 minutes in, post-meal like a belated apology. Silverware? Two chopsticks, one napkin—we tore it in two, rationing like castaways while the staff perfected their “ignore-the-couple-in-the-corner” routine and avoided eye contact at all costs. No whisper of a second round. Swagger? More like hospitality with a hearty limp. Drink Excellence: The cocktails, though, nearly salvaged it. The “Pornstar Martini” flickered in with a fiery garnish, a mini Roman torch, while “The Court’s Signature” unfurled from a glass dome, smoky and seductive. Skill and passion? Check. Taste and punch? Oh yes. Timing? A Roman odyssey too slow. Wow Factor: That view—mamma mia, it’s a stunner. Sipping with the Colosseum as your backdrop feels like a privilege, even with a price tag that doesn’t blink. The smoke-and-fire drink show added flair, but the wow faded when round two stayed off the menu. Upselling seems to be a dirty word in these quarters. Replay Value: Would we return? Perhaps, for the view and drinks—if we pack snacks and a timer. Brilliance glimmers here, but consistency’s playing hide-and-seek. It’s for the patient or the pre-buzzed. The Verdict: The Court at Palazzo Manfredi nabs “One Glass”. The Colosseum vista and cocktails make it worth a stop if you’re nearby, but the service stumbles hard—shocking, since Italy invented hospitality, and we’ve been spoiled by Italian finesse elsewhere. Ivy’s still swooning over that view; Gigi’s plotting to nab the smoke dome and bolt. Cheers (Olives Optional), Ivy & Gigi, GLOBE & GLASS

Awful experience, they advise no ‘sports sandals’ but really this means no sandals at all as we were stopped from entering whilst wearing Birkenstock sandals with trousers & a shirt. Although women are allowed enter in sandals it seems to be just men who get refused? Rude woman on the door, avoid!

Atendimento péssimo, pouco caso com os clientes. Mal organização em achar sua reserva e tratamento sem educação.

View was unbelievable and the drinks were showstoppers. We had an amazing time. Staff were very nice and attentive. Thank you!!!

We were sat in low chairs with a view of the backs of people’s heads all night. Unable to see the Colosseum from our seats which is the entire reason we came to this bar.

We arrived a little earlier to be told to wait downstairs by the front door, which was fine when the time came to be seated we had to wait a further 10 mins for the table to be made up. We had already waited 15 mins with no offer of refreshment or drink. For a 5 and Michelin star restaurant this is appalling. We were then seated at the ‘rooftop’ bar in the corner of the room, drinks came quickly the staff were most friendly. I noticed by the time we nearly finished our first drink that everyone around us had snacks apart from us. They had forgotten about us in the corner! I had to get up and go to the bar to ask for the bill then after returning to my seat here came the snacks, bit late. I had to ask again for the check when snacks arrived. The only good thing about this place is the view, but advertising as roof top bar is a joke it’s the same level as the road you have to walk DOWN the stairs to get to it! Thanks for a pretty but disappointing experience.

Tolles Ambiente , leckere Cocktails mit ungehindertem Blick aus Colosseum

It was great! The staff is so kind, the cocktails are amazing, and so are the appetizers. And the view is beautiful!

Everything was perfect. The stuff, the drinks, the view, the complementary food. You should definitely visit!

An amazing experience after our Colosseum tour. Wonderful drinks and staff and outstanding views! We didn’t want to leave.
