“Mojitos with a kick, that’s what they’re known for,” a voice chuckled from behind a thick cloud of cigar smoke. You’ve arrived at Chioso Mentana, a unique kiosk in Piazza Mentana. It’s not your typical newsstand. This kiosk, cloaked in bamboo and illuminated by fairy lights, feels more like a tropical haven. Chioso Mentana, or as the locals fondly call it, “Chiosco Mentana,” pulsates with a charm all its own. Its history is a whisper, not a shout, but its energy is undeniable. Once a “flying bar,” this Chioso has now settled into its role as a cherished watering hole. Antique dealers, notaries, and those who embrace the night flock here, drawn to its warmth and the potent magic of its mojitos. But beware, the habanero pepper adds a fiery twist. If you’re fortunate, you might even encounter Mr. Paolo, a local character who dispenses wisdom from beneath his signature knitted hat. He’s a fixture, a living testament to the enduring spirit of this beloved Chioso. Come, enjoy a cocktail, soak in the atmosphere, and let the Chioso Mentana work its spell on you.
