Serving perfectly cooked broth and tasty filet américain is the hallmark of this bar. It's nice to taste good cordial, negroni or wine. You can listen to live music in the evening. The success of Argot Speakeasy would be impossible without the accommodating staff. Professional service is something visitors like here. You will appreciate affordable prices. There is a charming atmosphere and lovely decor at this place. Based on the users' feedback on Google, this spot deserved 4.5.

We happen to be just crossing this area and Argot popped up as a speakeasy. They are in all true sense, a speakeasy.. You ring a bell and they let you in after few moments. The bar is dark and quite intimidating. Once you settle down, you realise they are very friendly. We had Negroni which was super. Unfortunately they don't have wines so we didn't stay for long but it was a wonderful experience. The place is cozy and warm. Will come back for sure and continue our conversations with the owner and staff. Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Price per person: €20–30

Argot Speakeasy was recommended to us by local industry bartenders at Freni e Frizioni — specifically Sara — and it turned out to be one of the most memorable bar experiences of our time in Rome. From the moment you enter and descend the stunning circular staircase, you feel like you’ve stepped into a hidden world. The basement bar is beautifully designed with moody, timeless décor that truly makes you feel like you’ve time-traveled into a secret, intimate speakeasy. The ambiance alone is worth the visit. What truly elevated our experience, however, was Emanuele. We had the pleasure of meeting Emanuele on just his second day on the job — yet you would never have known it. As someone who owns a bar myself, I pay very close attention to service, timing, awareness, and guest interaction, and Emanuele was exceptional in every way. He was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being scripted, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the best possible experience. He spoke so proudly about Argot, its cocktail program, and the creativity behind each drink. His enthusiasm felt authentic, not rehearsed — the kind of passion you can’t train, only hire. Over the course of several hours, he checked in thoughtfully, anticipated our needs, and made us feel truly welcome. That level of attentiveness and professionalism is rare, especially so early into a new role, and it speaks volumes about his natural talent and dedication to hospitality. To top it off, Argot also features live music, which is surprisingly rare to find in Rome. The live guitarist was incredible, with a sultry voice that paired perfectly with the red, dim lighting around the stage, creating a sexy, intimate atmosphere that brought the entire room together. Between the cocktails, the live music, the stunning ambiance, and Emanuele's outstanding service, Argot Speakeasy is a must-visit. We will absolutely return on our next trip to Rome — and a big reason why is Emanuele. Five stars all around. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
