Our Beverage Program
A message from our Director of Bar Operations, Giacomo Ellena:
"Lele’s Roman beverage program is a refined homage to the city of Rome, expressed through a thoughtfully curated collection of signature cocktails inspired by its most iconic boroughs and historic streets. Each drink is designed to translate the soul, history, and atmosphere of a specific place into liquid form, offering guests a sensory journey through Rome’s many identities—from its working‑class traditions to its timeless elegance and modern vibrancy."
Cocktails
At the heart of the program are signature cocktails that tell distinct Roman stories.
The Testaccio reimagines the Negroni Sbagliato, finished with Lambrusco instead of Prosecco—a deliberate nod to the neighborhood’s popular roots, bustling markets, and deeply authentic culinary culture.
The Trastevere captures a more playful, energetic side of Rome. Made with vodka, cucumber, botanical cordial, and Prosecco, it reflects a district where ancient authenticity meets modern day.
The Via Giulia is a refined Paloma twist featuring yuzu, sage, and pink grapefruit. Inspired by one of Rome’s most iconic historic streets—known for antique shops and architecture—the cocktail embodies classic Rome.

Complimenting the signature selection, Lele’s Roman offers a distinctive Baby Negroni program designed to encourage exploration while remaining approachable and inclusive.
Guests can enjoy a classic Negroni alongside two variations: a lighter Negroni Bianco with bergamot cordial, and the Negroni Robusto, enriched with Pedro Ximénez sherry for added depth and body.
The program invites guests to explore different expressions of this iconic cocktail, to be enjoyed individually or as a curated flight.
