Nestled above the Hostaria dell’Orso restaurant in a 15th-century palazzo, the dance club boasts a uniquely atmospheric location with views glimpsing the Tevere through stain-glassed windows. Whatever religious mysticism the name may suggest don’t go looking for Madonna and other spiritually affected divas, if anything La Cabala is a ministry of former (rather than future) Miss Italias. Ignore the somewhat poncey piano bar on the ground floor, come suited and booted, preferably with Gina Lollobrigida, and get ready to burn off the pasta pounds.
