All the best stories begin around a table. Your first outings with those who are now your closest friends? Sitting at a table, over a spritz. Your first date? A table for two and a coffee. The news that changes everything, shared with your family? At the table, right in the middle of dinner. In short, tables aren’t just pieces of furniture—they’re the starting point for new romances and friendships.
Step out of your comfort zone, fill out a questionnaire, and get ready to grab a bite to eat with some strangers who share your interests. The First Round Roma takes you out to dinner with people who could become your new best friends.
What is The First Round?
The First Round is much more than just a dinner; it’s a slightly mysterious dining experience, perfect for meeting new people over a good glass of wine. Six strangers with shared interests meet for the first time around the same table, ready to share stories and laughter.
After purchasing your ticket, you’ll receive an email with a short questionnaire about your passions, hobbies, and dining preferences. Answer honestly—the algorithm will use your responses, along with those of other participants, to create the perfect table. Whether you’ve just moved to the city or simply want to expand your circle of friends, you’ll find the perfect atmosphere to do so here.
Who can participate?
The experience is open to everyone. Forget endless chats, emojis, and likes—here, we return to the pleasure of a live laugh between bites. At the table, you’ll find people who are tired of talking about work with their coworkers, those who are fed up with exchanging messages with digital avatars, and those who simply want to expand their circle of friends. This dinner is the perfect opportunity to be surprised by new encounters and discover that breaking the ice is a piece of cake… Especially when you’re chatting with people who share your passions!
Important Information About Dinner
Your ticket grants you access to an exclusive evening in the heart of Rome, at a select venue that remains a secret until the very last moment (24 hours beforehand) to add a touch of mystery and surprise. Everything you consume—from food to drinks—is not included and will be paid for directly at the restaurant at the end of the evening, so you’re free to choose what to order based on your tastes and budget. Whether you’re a chatterbox or a bit shy, it doesn’t matter—”The First Round” will make sure you feel right at home, with board games and conversation starters.
Making new friends in Rome can be difficult in such a big city where you often feel lonely or out of place. The First Round makes it all easier with a mystery dinner, where you can meet new people who are a good match for you in a relaxed atmosphere. Take a seat at the table and rediscover the pleasure of face-to-face conversation with strangers who might soon become your best friends.
