    Quite little jazz place in Rome! There is a cover fee, but definitely worth it. Drinks along with…read moresushi is such a random pair but worked pretty well. It is a vibe. You have to go upstairs to go see the jazz musicians. We got lucky that we didn't reserve for anything like that and we still got to see them.

    A jazz club for American tourists…read more Okay, there was one Australian lady and a few Chinese. Everyone else was American. Prices are sky-high because this is a soak the tourist situation. Alexanderplatz which is the premiere jazz club in Rome charges $18 euros for a month membership - no cover after that - and $12 per drink. So once you have paid your monthly cover charge, you can hear all the jazz you want for free - or if need be for $12 euros a drink At Alexanderplatz, the performances are legendary with some of the most innovative and technically amazing musicians in Rome. We dropped over $150 euros at Gregory's. We got a perfectly reasonable yeoman guitarist. But nothing like the artistic lions that routinely perform over at Alexanderplatz. Now to be fair, we had dinner at Gregory's and we never eat at Alexanderplatz. The standard "sushi dinner" was perfectly reasonable yeoman sushi. There was so little of it that we both had to order a la carte dishes afterwards. The extra extras seriously expanded the final tab. * * * One argument in Gregory's favor: their bar is extraordinary. The bar at Alexanderplatz is mediocre. Gregory's charges top dollar for its bar offerings, but what they mix and what is in their bottles is worth every single euro they ask for. I would be perfectly happy to just go to the bar, and order a few premium beverages. I would hear my wallet cry. But I would know that I was drinking supremely well in return for my investment. Fortunately, the bar is downstairs from the club. I would not have to put up with the shenanigans in the club. * * * The problem with the club is the crowd. At most, one third of the customers are actually there to listen to jazz. The room is filled with tourists taking selfies. There are also hot-daters playing snuggle-buns. Many of them will leave mid-set so they can go back to the hotel. Gregory's is less about the music and more about selling happy memories of Rome. * * * Alexanderplatz gets a mostly Italian crowd. You are looking as musicians, music critics, academics, and all purpose artsy types - as well as normal Italian human beings who just want to hear fine music. The music is taken very very seriously. Yeah, there are usually two or three tables with good time Charlies who are doing the phone recording, party hearty thing. But this is 8% of the audience at Alexanderplatz as opposed to 70% of the audience at Gregory's. To be fair to the crowd at Gregory's, the music at Alexanderplatz is simply better. The jazz at Alexanderplatz is capable of transfixing even philistines with tin ears. Gregory's jazz doesn't put that much on the table. But the crowd at Alexanderplatz sets me up for listening to mystic, complex music with the highest level of attention and aesthetic receptiveness. The crowd at Gregory's just gets me irritated. * * * If you are in Rome with a hot date, go to Gregory's. Be prepared to shell out the bucks. * * * If you are in Rome with someone who can truly appreciate once-in-a-lifetime musical experiences, take them to Alexanderplatz. After you talk about the music for half an hour after the concert, You can still go back to the hotel. Just figure that the hotel will be the second best part of the night.

    My wife and I were on holiday in Rome and took the oppurtunity to see a production of La Traviata…read moreat the Teatro Salone Margherita. They are located just off the Piazza Spagna, on the Via del Due Macelli. The theater is very intimate, seating only several hundred patrons. The production couldn't have been better! All the principal singers were wonderful. The scenes were filled with very talented auxileries, and the dancers were great. I couldn't believe how many musicians they fit into orchestra, and the sound was equal to any other I've heard. The Teatro Salone Margherita was apparently opened around 1890 to be a dinner theater. For those willing to pay, they offer table service in the boxes and upstairs. Downstairs, the tickets included a buffet of pasta and rice salad that wasn't fancy, but was very filling. They also offer a full bar, and gellato at intermission. The drinks were reasonable, the gellato wildly overpriced. There are 3 classes of downstairs tickets, depending on how close you want to be to the stage. We paid for the center section, but found that in the front part of the back section, on either side are seats that have a small table and unobstructed view of the stage. The next time we go, I'll save the price of my drinks by paying for the cheaper seats and sitting there again.

    If you're looking for a glorified dinner theater, then this is the place for you. It would be a fun…read moredinner date. The show is split up and courses of the meal are eaten in between acts. I am both a self taught chef and a trained singer/actor- If you're looking here for good food or a super talented cast, you're going to be disappointed. The food was just okay. I had the balcony seats (which put us the farthest away from the stage you can get) and those tickets come with a fixed menu. There was nothing memorable or spectacular about the food and my pasta was dry. One of the most annoying things is that to get from one side of the stage to the other, the cast has to walk behind those on the balcony. I found the ensemble to be lacking vocally and often distracting. The live orchestra was good except sometimes some didn't keep tempo. The tenor I saw was fantastic and carried the whole show. (La Traviata) His soprano was just okay vocally but paled in comparison.
