Christmas Dinner with Startup Grind Rome near Piazza Navona

Startup Grind Rome's end-of-year dinner, held at Pizzeria Da Baffetto on Via del Governo Vecchio, about five minutes' walk from Piazza Navona.

This is a seated community dinner rather than a talks evening — pizza, wine and beer, with founders and investors from the chapter's network mingling over the table. It runs from 17:30 to 22:00. The chapter is led by Daniele Buzzurro, professor, founder and investor across Unicusano, DW DreamyourMind and Ediccare, with Francesco Scandale, president of Future Rome, as mentor; both are listed as present. Places are by ticket reservation and no price was shown on the page at listing time.

Why go: December is thin for Rome tech events, and this is the one evening where the Startup Grind network sits down together instead of standing around a pitch night. Best for founders and early investors who want the chapter's people at conversation length, not elevator-pitch length.
