So far in our weekend guide series, our Style Council have taken us to New York, Paris, Naples and Hawaii. This week, we’re on slightly more familiar ground in Rome. But, if you think you know the city well, think again. The recommendations of Mr Bradley Cocks – the founder of brand experience and social consultancy company Goodtrip – might throw up some interesting tips on where to eat, drink and sleep in the so-called Eternal City.

“This is classic Roman fare – a recommendation from a friend who’s really serious about seafood. The menu changes seasonally, and they scour far and wide to find the flavours that characterise their signature dishes. Il Sanlorenzo’s motto is: ‘No long trips, no frozen foods, no imports. Nothing that was not fresh and just caught in the Tyrrhenian Sea.’”

**Via dei Chiavari, 4/5, 00186 Roma **

In the Campo Marzio area of Rome, perched high up on the fifth floor, you can experience the vast cityscape of this ancient city on relaxed designer sofas with views up towards the Piazza di Spagna. Zuma bar serves wonderful cocktails – classic or creative – and has a great selection of sake and Japanese whisky.

**Via della Fontanella di Borghese, 48, 00186 Roma **

“This boutique hotel offers the best views onto the Colosseum and is situated within seven minutes of the highlights of ancient Rome. Enjoy the ground-floor outdoor bar with its stunning views out over the ruins of Ludus Magnus – the gymnasium once used by the gladiators of the ancient city – and a fabulous rooftop restaurant, Aroma. The overall interior theme is contemporary design.”

**Via Labicana, 125, 00184 Roma **

“Be sure to explore different parts of Rome. Grab a push bike via ride share app oBike and head for less touristic areas, such as Monti. Then make your way back through the Jewish Ghetto to Isola Tiberina and hop onto the Rome Boat Experience for a one-way trip up the Tiber. Get off at the Vatican City stop and make your way into the centre for lunch, dinner or an aperitivo. Alternatively, there is Scooteroma, which offers guided Vespa tours around Rome that can take you to see street art and visit local neighbourhood restaurants, as well as various other pit stops along the way.”

“When exploring the city, a pair of Nike Flyknits would be light and practical for navigating the uneven cobblestone streets. While Etro chinos or AMI jeans, a slim-fit Brunello Cucinelli shirt or a more casual Mr P. T-shirt with a slim fit unstructured Aspesi blazer would go down well on the streets of Rome.”
