An entrance flanked in double stone columns united by bold, brass gates etched in the word Jackie O leads to a red carpet entrance to a club that’s one of the most famous, or at least infamous, in all of Rome. A stalwart of the disco movement that lingered longer in Italy than other places, Jackie O is a beloved supper club with even more popular piano bar and disco that’s still a hit for first-timers and the occasional last-timer. The dining room echoes more of a formal vibe with more modern piano bar that a hit with local. The disco features a somewhat cavernous space carved of red Venetian plaster walls lined in cushy leather booths with baroque mirrors and statuettes in every direction.
Tips
Best on a late Saturday night, opt for a stroll into the piano bar and then hit the dance floor around 2am.
Last Word
Unfortunate red carpet, painted marble walls and Botticelli prints are just part of the allure of this 70s discoteca with supper club and piano bar that’s still a hit some 40-years later.
