Are you a Negroni lover? Negronis are a simple cocktail made of Campari, Gin, and Vermouth. For as simple as they are, we’ve had some outstanding ones and some big misses.
The worst Negroni I’ve ever had was a few years ago at a historic saloon. I should have ordered a whiskey on the rocks or a beer, but I noticed a Negroni was listed on the cocktail list. I thought, sure let’s see how this goes. Bad decision. It was made with Chambord (raspberry liqueur) instead of Campari.
The best Negronis we’ve ever had are made at home and at the best bars in the world. Here are a few you won’t want to miss.
Caffè Torino, Torino

Torino is the birthplace of vermouth, so Caffè Torino is a must on our list. It’s one of the many historical bars of Torino. It’s located on the Piazza San Carlo, so if it’s a nice day you can sit on the square and people watch or opt for a seat inside in the winter. They have the ultimate apertivo bar with all kinds of snacks to go with your Negroni, plus a case full of sweets.

If you’re in Milan, where Campari was born, head to the birthplace of the Sbagliato, or the mistaken Negroni. Chat with Bar Basso owner, Maurizio. He might let you in on a few cocktail secrets. Not only do they make a mean Negroni, but don’t miss out on the sbagliato and martini. Just outside the city center, this dark wood bar with long drapes is a must in Milan.
