Pubs and its surroundings: the invasion of the Town Hall

In the heart of the Eternal City increase the local catering staff: more than 154 since 2003. However, licensing is blocked. What do you think the merchants in the area?

Restaurants, wine bars, pubs and sushi bars: there are 154 spaces which, in the last three years, opened its doors in the heart of the Eternal City. Nothing strange, except that in the Town Hall has been in existence for some time the block of licenses. Unica opportunity for those who want to embark on economic activities and, therefore, recover the award from some seller who has decided to change rotta.Eppure, the list of new businesses photographs a very different situation: between 1 January 2003 and March 30, 2006, the precious area Capitolina has increased by over 100 local only in the field of ristorazione.Insomma, despite the chaos, traffic and lack of parking, the commercial value of the heart of the City continues to increase. But what are the areas that have most enriched their offer enogagastronomica? The extended map is not that good, ranging from the ancient Rione Monti in Campo de 'Fiori, through the Pantheon and Piazza Navona. Here is a succession of tables, planters, signs and menus in plain sight. If the show enchants tourists, you breathe less enthusiasm, however, between restaurateurs and retailers have to deal with increased competition agguerrita.Ma what do you feel about that? RomaOne went around the center of the capital and asked the traders as they go from the fourth affari.Siamo orbiting the Church of Santa Maria ai Monti, one of the oldest villages of the City, now living in the area of \u200b\u200bworship "by nignt" Roman. Along the narrow streets and tangled, are many spaces which accommodate a diverse audience every night. "We are many, it is true. I have been here for 18 years and I've seen open and close many businesses." He said the owner of "La Tavernelle" historic restaurant on a Panisperna. And then he added: "It is, however, especially for transfers of licenses. The real problem is, if anything, LTZ: that means that we took away a lot of customers." There is room for everyone, even according to the manager of the pizzeria "Grain of Wheat" by way of the Gypsies: "The more we are, the better. The only problem may come from the fact that the licenses are distributed throughout the hall, so if you have a concession area or Esquilino Cavour can close and then re-open here. "But you only turn the corner to hear less enthusiastic comments. The order of the bakery in Via dei Serpenti in two years has nearly halved its customers, while the flower-intersection complains that "the premises and the new ones are springing up like mushrooms, more and more strange." disappear, in other words, convenience stores and grocers to make room for ethnic restaurants, takeaways and local style giapponese.Più you enter the area Historically, most of the bad feelings are felt. "Licences are contingendate, it is true - said the operator of" Clemente "restaurant near the Pantheon - but competition has increased in recent years the same. I explained why? ". In short, the equation does not return: can the same local competition grow? A mystery that adds to the concessions multiplied.
