The 50 best coffee shops and best cafes in Rome

A must try on your Roman holiday! Caffe Greco seems to get a lot of mixed review. Having experienced it myself I can say it’s a caffe in its own league. It’s equal parts caffe and museum, not to mention a respectful nod to a time long passed. Being one of the oldest caffes in Europe, people among the ranks of Lord Byron have traversed the threshold and dined within these walls. And for me that is part of what going here is all about. You’re buying entry to be transported back in time and sit in the same spots as some of history’s great minds. I think it’s worth noting coffee culture in Italy is very different from other countries, and especially the US. Usually being a walk up bar where you slap down one Euro, get a shot of espresso in under a minute, drink quickly, and move on with your day. This is not that place. You sit down, get served crème in a silver dish by a waiter in a tuxedo, and order fabulous tortes to indulge in the coffee experience. But keep in mind, by and large, Italians do not drown their food in sugar like so many people, and especially Americans, are used to. I think this is why some people find the experience to be lacking. I’ve always found the food here to be exceptional, but you need to be mentally and maybe emotionally prepared to drop some cash for coffee and cake. This is on the more luxe side of experiences. If that is your thing, then this is a must try on your Roman holiday.

We visited Caffè Greco near Piazza di Spagna and were really disappointed. The hot chocolate was basically just melted chocolate, extremely thick and hard to drink. I couldn’t even finish one spoon. It was honestly unpleasant. We also ordered a small sandwich that cost around €20, and the espresso was €12. The hot chocolate alone was €15. In total, we had just 2-3 items and ended up paying around €80, which felt completely unjustified for the quality and quantity we got. The place may be historic, but it’s extremely overpriced, and the experience didn’t live up to the hype at all.

Rome’s oldest café, founded in 1760, Antico Caffè Greco is less a coffee stop than a living museum of the Grand Tour. Goethe, Liszt, Keats, and Stendhal once sat here, and the red velvet benches, gilt frames, and statuary still carry that salon-like atmosphere. The macchiato and cheesecake I ordered were serviceable (6/10 and 5/10), but the price goes beyond what’s on the plate: it’s the cost of continuity. Greco faces huge rent pressures from its landlord and uncertain protection for its heritage. To sit here is to make a small contribution to a place that has outlasted empires, where conversation and culture have lingered for centuries.

We went to this cafe hoping to have a good cake and coffee served by experienced personnel and instead found ourselves disappointed by very poor service and unsavoury cake. We ordered a lemon cake that was supposed to be very good according to the waitress’ suggestion. Instead the taste of the cake was abysmal. We got served some kind of jelly looking cake that tasted nothing like lemon. The cream was solid and had multiple colour in it. Something that it is not really common in this specific type of cake. It looked somewhat not really fresh. Of course we did not eat it and expressed our disappointment to the waitress but our complain was unheard and met with unpleasantry which definitely should not belong to this kind of places. In the end we were charged 14 euros for a cake that we did not eat. Would never go back there again.

The coffee shop feels like a museum — the atmosphere is truly unique and different from any regular café. The coffee is good, but the prices are quite high.

Disappointing Experience – Overpriced and Overrated Sadly, Café Greco has become a tourist trap. The charm it once had has been replaced by outrageous prices and an underwhelming experience. We paid €81 for one cappuccino, one espresso, one sandwich, water, and one very mediocre omelette that alone cost €25 — as you can see for yourself. Do yourself a favor: stop by if you must, but don’t sit down. There are far better places in Rome where you’ll find both quality and authenticity without the shock of the bill.

Antico Caffè Greco: A Roman Treasure Stepping through the narrow doorway of Antico Caffè Greco on Via dei Condotti feels like entering a living museum where time moves at the pace of perfectly pulled espresso. Founded in 1760, this legendary Roman coffeehouse has been serving more than just beverages—it's been nurturing souls, inspiring artists, and creating moments of pure magic for over two and a half centuries. The dimly lit interior, with its burgundy velvet banquettes and marble-topped tables, whispers stories of the countless luminaries who once sat in these very seats. Goethe penned letters here, Casanova plotted his romantic adventures, and Keats found solace in the aromatic embrace of Italian coffee culture. The walls, adorned with portraits and memorabilia, seem to pulse with the creative energy of generations past. What strikes me most profoundly about Caffè Greco is how it makes you feel like you're part of something eternal. The ritual of standing at the marble bar, watching the barista's practiced hands work their alchemy, connects you to centuries of Romans who have performed this same daily dance. The coffee itself—rich, bold, and served in delicate porcelain cups—tastes like liquid history. #RomaNeiNegoziStoriciEccellenza #PatrimonioUrbano @negozistoricieccellenzaroma

We visited Roscioli Caffè and tried a few of their stuffed maritozzi and they were absolutely delicious. Light, fluffy, and filled with rich, flavorful cream. Definitely worth the hype when it comes to pastries. However, the service was quite slow, especially considering we only ordered pastries nothing from the kitchen. It took longer than expected to be served. We were seated inside and the space felt a bit clustered, which made the experience less comfortable. I’d recommend ordering takeout and enjoying it at a nearby piazza or park for a more pleasant experience.

One of the worst aperol spritz and Hugo spritz I have ever had, both with more prosecco just to fill the glass, completely removing the emblematic flavors of both these cocktails. The service absolutely terrible, the server came to serve the table next to us who got seated after us (big surprise it was the owners partner, now it makes sense) after serving us and slamming the drinks in my table I tasted the absolute worst spritz I have had. Terrible place would not recommend to anyone who is visiting or lives here.

Roma is swarming with all variety of tourists and many are rude/obnoxious. The key is to learn a little Italian and connect with the overworked staff like a human. Roma is a marvel, the entire city should be declared a World Heritage site. Where else can you walk amongst 2000 year old monuments to Democracy, Civilization and the Wonders of The Human Creative and Artistic potential?? I tried to get into their Salumeria resto the night before—like most good spots during a massive swarm of tourists and Jubillee pilgrims—sold out. Undaunted I returned the next morning for un ristretto and got a table out front, sipping a perfect 3rd wave Cappucino XL, and enjoying a delicious panino. The swarm of tourists got to me, God bless the staff(!!) of course people from all over the world are hungry/tired and uncertain of how Roma caffe culture works but geesh. I wouldn’t have been surprised to see strict disciplinary measures enforced from Coloseo days(whips?) I moved inside to the counter—that’s where the real fun is!! Learn some Italian and you’ll have the best time with the staff and what few Romans brave the tourists to get their place at the counter. It’s all about standing, mingling and chatting!! I’d go back to Roma tomorrow to repeat this day for an entire week. I showed him a specialty coffee article about best Roman caffes, and he proceeded to write down 5 more that he recommended! I mentioned that I had tried and failed to get into the resto, and he blew me away with his 150% xtra hospitality!! He left his post, inquired down the street, and returned with a counter spot for me at 7 that night!!!! Alessandro(?) Grazie Mille-you’re a true gem. I also needed to find a bike shop to fill my tires with air and the other adorable fellow zoomed in on his phone (my phone didn’t have wifi) and showed me the exact spot!! This is a world class spot in the bustling Campo dei Fiori district. Well run, a legacy group, serving great caffe, and good pastries+panino. But as always, it’s the warmth of the staff that make it incredible. Grazie 🏛️🇮🇹🫶🙏

A great variety of Italian sandwiches and pastries. Something for everyone. Crisp breads and quick service. We enjoyed a great breakfast on the go.

As the reviews suggest, the restaurant is booked up most of the time. Roscioli caffe is the place to go if you’re looking to pick up and go. There aren’t any seats around as many places in Italy. However, you will enjoy of their wonderful one of a kind bread & pizza texture.

Absolute best! Everything tasted amazing.. best way to start your day! Macchiato and fresh maritozzo (this is a must try here!) with a few more viennoiseries (apricot Cornetti, cannoli, fruit custard biscotti)

Here’s an updated version including that detail: ⸻ I wouldn’t recommend this place, especially if you’re on holiday and don’t want to start your day stressed. They have three different shops with the same name, but each one offers something different — and the frustration is the same in all of them. One shop has sweets and savoury options, but no coffee and only two tiny tables outside. Another is just a salumeria. The third one finally serves coffee and breakfast items, has some outdoor seating… but the service is surprisingly bad. To make things worse, if you buy food in one of the shops, you can’t sit and eat it in the one that serves coffee. Since they all share the same name, there’s no way for a customer to know this isn’t allowed — and they were extremely rude when informing us. Honestly, save yourself the hassle and go somewhere else with better service and proper accommodation. There are plenty of places nearby where you’ll get good food without the confusion and stress.

It’s one of the city’s most famous coffee spots, always buzzing with both locals and tourists. Founded in 1944 as a coffee roastery, the café opened its bar in 1946 as a place to taste blends before purchase, and today it remains a true landmark in Rome. They offer coffee, pastries, and traditional Italian desserts. The coffee was decent, though personally I found it just okay compared to the hype, and the desserts were fine but nothing particularly standout. Still, the unique blends, affordable prices, and the experience of enjoying an espresso in such a historic setting make it worth a stop.

I personally think their iced espresso is a must-try. It has a rich flavor, and paired with the cool shaved ice and cream, it is definitely a brand new coffee experience in terms of both taste and flavor! In addition to ordering coffee on the spot, they also provide their own coffee beans and related coffee equipment. Those who are interested in brewing coffee can purchase them here.

One of the best coffee experiences in Rome! The espresso here is rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced—truly some of the finest I’ve ever had. Their famous granita di caffè with whipped cream is a must-try, refreshing and indulgent at the same time. The café has an old-school charm and a lively atmosphere that makes the visit even more enjoyable. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality, and service is quick despite the constant flow of customers. If you’re a coffee lover, this is a Roman institution you cannot miss. Five stars all the way!

As my final stop before leaving Rome, I visited La Casa del Caffè Tazza d’Oro, a place that perfectly captured the essence of Italian coffee culture. After spending days exploring and learning the true art of espresso, this was the ideal way to conclude the journey. The doppio espresso had a rich, full-bodied flavor with a pleasant acidity that lingered just long enough to appreciate its depth. Paired with just the right touch of sugar, it was beautifully balanced — intense yet smooth, simple yet profound. It wasn’t just a cup of coffee; it was a moment of reflection — the culmination of everything I had come to love about Italy’s coffee traditions. I left with a quiet satisfaction, knowing that this final espresso would remain one of the most memorable tastes of the entire trip.

La Casa del Caffè Tazza d’Oro is a must-visit spot for coffee lovers in Rome. The espresso is rich, strong, and perfectly balanced — truly some of the best I’ve ever had. The staff are friendly and efficient, making the experience smooth even when it’s busy. You can also buy their coffee to take home, which is perfect for enjoying the same great taste later. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the city, and the atmosphere is classic and welcoming. Highly recommended for an authentic Roman coffee experience!

We heard good things about the baking 🥐here so we made sure to drop in. We tried the cannoli with the ricotta cheese filling. It was mildly sweet, not too rich, and absolutely delicious. We tried the Sfogliatella which was good, but a little heavy for my taste. The doughnut, danish, and crossiants were also delicious here. The pastries were flaky, crisp, and are definitely the best we had in Rome. The staff at the desk are not overly friendly, but I went there for the pastries not service, so I was not bothered. You place your order at the register here (it was not too straightforward). I could not recommend this bakery enough, I wish we had one like this at home 🇨🇦

We tried only coffee. It was delicious, but the atmosphere was a bit disappointing because we just came in during peak time. - too many people and too much noise, but it probably is because they have good quality. 👌🙏🏼 But that’s fine. Coffee was great - recommend it! :) would go again. Nice waiters also :)

Absolutely favourite cafe in Rome, very handy as I've stayed twice in the Prati area (both this year and last.) I couldn't have any higher praise, actions speak louder than words and I visited nearly daily both years where itinerary allowed. Excellent choice of hot drinks, pastries, savoury food and perfect service. Customers always put first as we had asked for help to book a taxi but they took time to explain how to get the metro to the airport for much cheaper. Lorezno is absolutely fabulous and his customer service is second to none!

It can get a bit crowded, but it makes perfect sense- it's that special and yummy! I felt very welcome...good service and staff are so kind. Even with my beginner Italian. I wish we had this in Ireland. I went twice for my short trip to Rome. I'd go back again and again. I got the Caffè con Cioccolata both times. They make it a beautiful work of art and I was sad the next one had to be to-go. Still yummy. And a dessert to try is the Maritozzo.

A MUST VISIT! This was my first time in Rome and I wanted the best coffee and pastries. This place did not disappoint. Lorenzo and Claudio were so welcoming and made me feel at home on every visit. They made the best recommendations for food and coffee. This place was so cozy and inviting we made it our go-to coffee spot during our visit in Rome. Delicious coffee and pastries…be sure to ask for Claudio or Lorenzo for the BEST service and try the tiramisu!

Amazing café with a great vibe! Special thanks to Lorenzo, who gave us outstanding service with a big smile and genuine kindness. We loved it so much we came back every morning. Highly recommend trying the coffee with dark chocolate and the sfoglia pastry – unforgettable!

We stopped by Sciascia Caffè dal 1919 and had such a wonderful experience thanks to Lorenzo, our waiter. The food itself was decent, but it was really the service that made the visit special. Lorenzo was friendly, lovely, and genuinely affable — he went out of his way to make us feel welcome and made the whole meal feel personal and enjoyable. It’s rare to find service this warm and sincere. Thank you, Lorenzo, for making our time here so memorable!

I had the best hot chocolate of my life here—rich, thick, and made from real, authentic chocolate. The waiter was impeccable and incredibly helpful, even giving us tips on where to go in Rome. The café itself is stylish and tasteful, offering high-quality drinks and a lovely atmosphere. Definitely a must-visit!

Lorenzo is the best!!! So welcoming, and treated us like we were family, welcoming us into his home. The rest of the staff is very kind and welcoming. Delicious paninos and caffé! I come here every morning.

We stopped by Sant’Eustachio Caffè during our evening city tour — one of Rome’s most well-known and historic cafés. I ordered what seemed to be their signature espresso, which came with a noticeably sweet taste, likely due to the sugar already mixed in before serving. The flavor was distinct — smooth, rich, and slightly sweet, offering a different take on the traditional Italian espresso experience. It wasn’t exactly what I expected, but it was still enjoyable and worth trying, especially for those curious about Rome’s classic coffee culture. Overall, Sant’Eustachio Caffè provided a quick yet memorable stop during the night tour — a small cup of history and tradition in the heart of Rome.

A classic Roman caffe with adaptations for us foreigners. They are very happy to guide you through the many choices you have from a simple caffe espresso that you drink at the bar to a shakerato, espresso with ice, shaken until cold and frothy. A lovely treat on a hot day. Expect your caffe con zucchero (with sugar), unless you ask for it otherwise. As with any new country, ask how they do things, or watch and learn. Here they order at the counter and then you give your receipt to the baristas who will make it for you. Then you can drink it there or take it outside, to a table or if you ordered togo - keep a walking! They have nice snacks and treats as well, with patio seating and menus in English and Italian.

We bought the millefoglie and sfogliatelle, and both of them were pretty good. The millefoglie is very crisp, but the only part I don’t like is that the cream is too sweet. The sfogliatelle is also not bad, but not as impressive as the millefoglie. Overall, it’s a nice place to buy some sweet treats while visiting this area.

First day in Rome. We were looking to explore the coffee houses of Rome. This place is very close to Piazza Navona, where we were staying. You can order directly at the counter and drink your coffee there. Or you can sit at the table and somebody will come to take your order. We decided to sit down. We ordered cappuccino, croissants (regular, chocolate, and pistachio). Everything was delicious.

The coffee is great but overpriced. You can get the same quality in many other coffee shops. The croissant is bad but the canoli was good. There was 2 waiters for the people eating there; one is nice and the other is rude. We weren't finished drinking but the rude waiter gave us the bill without us asking. It wasn't even that full so I dont understand the rush. We've been to busier places but never rushed to pay. Also to pay with card, we had to wait in the line with everyone else who was there to grab something to go.

The greatest disappointment of the area!!This is not longer an Italian coffe, as italian, and I also worked at coffe machine in bars, I say that sturbacks is much better. The cappuccino foam was like the bubbles of the shampoo and not creamy, is not compacted and not gradually melted with the milk as It should be, the coffe is nothing special, I asked a short coffe(espresso) but the staff not understood because none of them are Italian, instead they made me a long coffe, the service was crab, when I told them that we were not happy with their coffe and cappuccino they had made and we explained the reasons, considering also the price we spent for then, they just didn't care it at all. The sugar was the economic chimical white industrial sugar, served on tables in plastic cans like ketchup and maionese at the econimic fast-food places, while in any other italian bar you are served at least with 3 differnt sugar types. The tables were not stable and not cofortable. As Italian expert of coffe I suggest you to go to the others coffe bar near pantheon. The cappuccino 6,2 euros

We had heard of this place as a recommendation so we checked it out. We had read about the rude staff, and to be honest, they were lovely. Only problem is the price vs the amount you get on their coffees. And as many have mentioned before, expect to pay even more if you wanna sit outside on their tables. So your 2 options are to eat standing inside or take it to go. Pastries were fresh so that's another plus. Decent place, expensive for what you get.

Good specialty coffee. Slightly on the medium darker side, but still enjoyable. As a non dairy alternative they use potato milk, which was an unusual discovery, but it worked well with cappuccino!

By far, the best coffee in Rome! Proper specialty coffee shop with different origins on offer and all the brew methods - espresso, batch, pour-over, aeropress, cold brew. They also do potato milk?? Tastes like soya but sweeter and tasty in iced coffee.

Best 3rd wave coffee shop in Rome. Warm place, kind stuff. They have great selection of beans, prices are good both for beans and brews.

For starters, if your google site says you open at a certain time, then be open. If your hours are incorrect, then fix it. It’s not that hard. As far as the coffee, the worst cappuccino I’ve had in a long while. And it was 3.50€….it better be great for that much (it wasn’t). I’m not complaining because it was bad coffee, simply because hours were wrong and the guy seemed put off that he actually had customers at their stated time. Avoid this place. Instead head up to Euro Cafe a couple blocks up the street. We had coffee there same day and it was excellent and the staff was genuinely happy to serve. Ciao.

Barista was very helpful and welcoming. Overall service was good but they were late to bring us the bill in order to pay. Coffee and croissant were really good. And finally the sandwich I ordered is a most to try. Very delicious, fresh, and full of flavourful. If you’re looking for a good specialty coffee, here you can find it when in Rome.

The only specialty coffee could find in Rome. And it’s super tasty. I was looking for it for 3 days! I mean it’s not a classic Italian coffee that is super strong, but coffee with a taste. I would not say they have an extremely wide choice but at least you will be able to try a coffee that tastes not like a hotel coffee

Horrible service, waited 10 min for two beers and didn't even get peanuts for the 7 euro beers, when asked they offered to sell it to me for 3 euros even tho the next table got it for free. Shame on you guys

One of the best 'quick' cafés I've seen in Rome. Very close to Ostiense train/bus/metro station and not too secluded, but still in its own 'pocket' that makes it ideal for a quick 30 min coffee break or a quick catch-up with friends. I'd give the atmosphere more if I could. The quality of products is also amazing, being a barista myself I was very impressed with the espresso, cappuccino as well as pastries, all for very cheap. 10-15€ gets you a couple of coffees, organic juice and pastries. Must-visit for any coffee lover that stumbles through Ostiense.

Great place to have a drink on a hot day. Staff was friendly and honest : I gave them an extra 5 euros by accident and the server gave it back instantly.

Really good coffee, delicious beer, nice atmosphere and good service...

Great atmosphere & relaxed outdoor seating. Super friendly service and the coffee and tramezzini are delicious!! Prices are super fair - 2,50€ for a great flat white and iced latte. Can 100% recommend!

I went there to get a quick coffee and first look; cozy, VERY fair prices (I got a latte for 1.50 euros, other coffees were similar in the low price) and the staff was very friendly and okay with my horrible Italian. I also decided to get a sandwich for 3.50, and one of the staff explained the Italian name for eggs and salami (my sandwhich) and was very nice to me!! Total 5,00 (due to the service fee), totally worth visiting! The latte was delicious ;).

Great urban green atmosphere Good coffee and aperitifs Friendly people

Unfortunately, our experience at this bar was extremely disappointing. We encountered behavior from the staff that was not only unprofessional but also racially insensitive. A waitress made inappropriate and mocking remarks, and when we brought this to the attention of the manager, he dismissed our concerns and even joined in the mockery, saying, “Don’t like it? Go somewhere else. Ciao!” This kind of attitude is completely unacceptable. I would not recommend supporting a place that treats its customers with such blatant disrespect. “Nothing strengthens authority so much as silence." - Leonardo da Vinci

Great place for delicious coffee in the morning and cold beer at night. Go there whenever I'm in Rome and looking forward to going back! Thanks!

Busy little cafe serving fresh pastries and sandwiches and really good coffee. Very reasonable price for high quality. Busy, so expect a little wait, but worth it.

Cute little cafe with upstairs seating and nice vibe. Great service and was a lovely little spot to just chill in on a rainy day.

Very good cafe with late night coffee. Very tasty sandwiches. Fair price

Very hard to find a good place in this area. Fantastic!

Great local cafe with cheap coffee

I went into this bar with my new husband on September 23rd. 2017. We enjoyed a drink that was recommended by the bartender. The next morning I realized I left my purse, and hoped it was still there. We went back and found they didnt open until 1pm. When we returned the person working called the bartender from the night before. He told me my purse had been found and was taken to the police station. I was so relieved and am grateful that he protected my wallet, credit cards and identification. ( I forgot my husband handed me 200 euro that evening, it was there too.) I am also thankful for whomever turned it in. Things went poorly whe we arrived at the police station though. Communication was difficult and the office insisted I told him it was stolen, despite clarifying seceral times. I think at one point he called the owner and told him I accused him of stealing. I hope that is not the case, the BAR was AMAZING! We ended up missing our train and had to rush to catch check out of our room and catch the next train or I would have stopped by to appologize and thank him properly. WONDERFUL LOCAL BAR, and TRUELY GOOD PEPOPLE!!!! (Of course the drinks were great too)

We were in Rome for just two days and wanted a healthy breakfast spot and we found this place. On the first morning we loved it so much that we came back again the next day. The breakfasts are delicious, the coffee is amazing, and the croissant completely won our hearts. The service is fast, attentive, and very polite, you immediately feel welcome here. I especially appreciated that the staff ask about allergies or intolerances right away and even warn you if a dish contains something that could be an issue. That kind of care is rare and makes a big difference. Without a doubt, this will be our breakfast spot for all our future trips to Rome. The only small downside is the long queues, but honestly, that only proves how popular and great this place is. Wishing you continued success and hope to see you expand soon!

What a gem of a spot! Barnum's outdoor terrace in Rome is the perfect sunny morning escape—rustic wooden tables, chill vibes, and zero rush. I dove into their fluffy powdered-sugar pancakes (hello, chocolate sauce and fresh fruit heaven), a loaded yogurt granola bowl bursting with berries and tropical vibes, smashed avo toast with poached egg and salmon that was next-level fresh, a hearty brekkie plate with all the classics (eggs, bacon, sausage—yes please!), and a stunning matcha latte with latte art that could win awards. Every bite was spot-on flavorful and beautifully plated. Service? Warm, attentive, and super friendly without hovering. If you're craving an elevated breakfast that feels like a treat, Barnum's your spot. 5 stars—I'll be back! 🌞🍓🥑

Absolutely loved Barnum, we came 3 times. We loved that they had oatmilk and then allergens listed on the menu. Ordered dine in and take out one day and both were easy. If you’re arriving before maybe 9:30 I think a table will be a short wait but they might pick up— everything was fast and I definitely would wait (or just order from the counter to go!). The croissants were some of the best I’ve ever had, the lamination and layers were insane and perfect and they were so buttery. We would get oatmilk lattes, we got bacon/eggs/hash browns one day, pain au chocolate, lemon curd croissant, and plain croissant. The service is super nice and attentive too. You pay at the counter after eating. There are lots of seating options but you must wait to be shown to your seat.

Lived 2 mins away and been here every morning before I start my journey. All the pastries except pistachio croissant is amazing. Chef 😘 kiss The smoked salmon here is cured by them in house. So gooooood!

The best breakfast I had in Rome. Simply wow. The salmon bagel was the best I’ve ever had. They cure the salmon every two days. It’s the freshest i have ever had. The croissant, the lemon tart, the morning bun, pain au chocolate, danish with seasonal fruit were all so delicious. The waiters were very very nice especially the twin brothers. Would definitely come here again and might go again tom as nothing beats it her. And the coffee too 😍😍

We ate here last year (finally getting around to writing a review!) We went early for breakfast, and would definitely recommend doing the same. The Norwegian waiting staff was fantastic — super attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. The speciality coffee was the best we had in Rome, and the breakfast itself was delicious. All in all, well worth queuing for and a spot we’d happily return to.

This place certainly lived up to its wonderful reputation. Enjoyed breakfast here twice while visiting Rome. The second day, we did have to wait 15mins for a table. The service was super friendly and they kept us up do date every 5mins as to the table situation. The food was AMAZING! Everything we ordered was delicious and super tasty. Highly recommend!

This place was amazing. Jimmy is a phenomenal waiter who brings delight to every interaction with his charisma and efficiency. The food was great and the setting was amazing. So many statues inside that you can look and look for your entire meal and still discover something new. My wife and I really enjoyed this meal and Jimmy was a blast. I highly recommend this place to anyone in the area.

Had a light lunch with Girl-wife on our first day in Rome. She had researched it prior to our trip, so it was a priority. Our server Jimmy was very kind and attentive, and showed us around the amazing place and told us some historical facts. Definitely worth a stop!

Went there by recommendation with my family. The restaurant is unique in its decor as it is a historic building formerly used as a studio by Canova. We expected a delicious meal. My husband had the spaghetti ala carbonara and it was dry and bland; I had the pistachio crusted chicken with potatoes and it was terrible, very dry and tasteless. My son had the meat tenderloin and it was good. The appetizer we ordered was burrata with melon but the waiter brought us another appetizer which was ok. The service was mediocre. Overall it is, unfortunately, the Worst meal we’ve had in Italy over the last two weeks.

This review is for the restaurant Canova Tadolini only. This is one amazing place, the interior adorned with Canova marble statues. The food is equally outstanding, not at all a tourist trap regardless of the upmarket location. From specialty coffees served with tasty cookies at the Cafe to mouthwatering Roman and Italian popular dishes (cacio e pepe pasta one of my favorites) at mealtimes. Our servers were also commendable. Can't recommend highly enough!

Worst experience ever. We walked in at 8:10 AM (the café opens at 8:00) after confirming with their waiter, and immediately the host lady started yelling — first at her own staff, then at us — demanding why we entered. Her temper and rudeness were shocking. We left right away and will never return. Reading other reviews later, I saw many people had the same complaint about her behavior. This is a beautiful and unique café, but believe me — it doesn’t worth the headaches.

Incredible place! A wonderful restaurant-museum with many sculptures, interesting history, delicious food and nice staff 👍 Having visited here, I got a great experience, best pasta carbonara and pleasant impressions! If you like sculpture - you should definitely visit this place in Rome!

The food is okay but not worth the price. Their shakerato needs more shaking. It didn't reach the stage where the drink becomes creamy due to incorporation of air bubbles. The drink is separated upon being served. Their tiramisu is typical. The layers are visible and adds to the texture but it seems like the second layer is not soaked in espresso. Overall, it's good for the unique ambiance. The woman in the reception is also a bit rude. The rest of the waiting staff is okay.

Not only the best coffee we had in Rome but the best service experience by far. Very friendly waiter, amazing music by the DJ at the front, and the most charming grandpa whose friendliness and conversation lit up our day. All while paying affordable prices for delicious food and coffee. What a treat! A wonderful final memory in Rome.

It’s one of the best coffee I’ve ever tasted it in Rome. The barista very professional and make the coffee very well. They have also roasted bean from different roasters. Really it deserves to be visited and taste it

Excelent place to eat breakfast. The Green Toste was amazing. Avocado and tomatoes where delicious. Coffee is great and we come from Colombia so...Recommend coming to also listen a great dj with different music. They speak English and are super friendly! Per friendly. What else can I say?

the coffee is very good, oat milk available as well which is nice ! a must place to visit if you’re staying in rome, friendly staff, cool music, amazing homemade pastries ! ☕️

Original options for breakfast. Delicious cakes, outstanding coffee, excellent service.

Went here for all my breakfasts during my stay in Pigneto.. coffee is outstanding. Great, tasty menu.. perfect music choices for ambience.. this place really added to my Roma experience. Thanks guys.

Buzzy atmosphere, excellent coffee but also alternatives like matcha 💚

Such a lovely place. Good food. Coffee was amazing. Ham and cheese toast was crispy and perfecto! Even the omelette was delicious.

I’m afraid to even type this because I know the weight of these words but … This was the best pizza that I’ve had in Italy. Over the course of a few trips to Italy, I’ve probably had close to 50 pizzas and this one takes the top spot. The biggest difference was the char. The crust and undercarriage was cooked to perfectly. Crispy, light, but pliable and delicious. The sauce and cheese were just as good as any other pizza that I’ve had - fresh and tasty. The diavola had a habanero glaze that provided an extra punch without being too spicy. It was satisfying but not overly filling. Special pie.

If you want to experience something that feels truly Italian and a bit old-school, Ciampini is a nice place to stop by. The outdoor seating area is charming, but inside it’s self-service — you have to order at the bar. Unfortunately, the lady at the counter was quite unpleasant and had a hard time answering a simple question in English. I ordered a cappuccino, and a maritozzo. The coffee was decent, nothing special but fine. The maritozzo, however, was quite soggy, probably from the day before. I paid €4.50 in total, as it’s cheaper without table service (prices are higher if you sit outside). If you’re just looking to take a nice photo in a typical Italian café, it’s okay — but otherwise, not really a must.

Came here a quick afternoon bite after landing in Rome - it was a 5 min walk from our Airbnb. The service was quick and we had outdoor seating. It was in the middle of a hot summer day but thankfully not unbearable in the shade. We had the tomato and cheese pizza which was very good, the vongole was alright and the margherita sandwich was mid. Nice drinks and good to people watch.

[This review is solely based on gelato] Came for gelato. Did not disappoint. Not too sweet and good flavour. Gelato recommendations: Yoghurt, Mango

Service is a bit slow, forgot to bring us water and didn’t bring it at the end. Ordered pizza margherita and for the quality of it I can tell it’s overpriced. Perhaps good place for aperitivo but not dinner definitely.

I didn't rate this place. Very overpriced. I also ordered a tuna and cucumber sandwich for 9 Euros . The sandwich came , it was ONE SLICE of bread with no crust! This is what you would give a small child for lunch along with some fruit etc! A gentleman on another table got served their sandwich after me and he laughed! There are so many other places to eat so I would avoid this one for food.

I never leave reviews but once i left the place i felt the urge to leave one … thank you for the best taste experience in a very long time. The pastrami sandwich especially, the coffee, the croissants, the people and the place…everything was so full of love and warmth. Higly recommended

We went today and had the Pastrami. It may be the best sandwich I’ve ever had. The cappuccino, espresso and limoncello spritz were also excellent. Service was great as well, thank you for being so welcoming. We will be back :)

An excellent little café that became my go to breakfast spot during my stay. The Pastrami sandwiches are honestly some of the best sandwiches I have ever tasted, they are all made fresh and the pricing for the quality is amazing. The coffee is also excellent with incredibly friendly staff and service.

Such a perfect place for pastrami sandwich! Thank you for special treatment due to my Fish-allergy and making me „dangerous sandwich”- it was delicious ♥️ for sure we will be back as soon as arrived in Rome again!

The best place for breakfast in neighbourhood. Amazing croassants, pastrami sandwiches and good coffee. During our stay in Rome we visited this place everyday.

Perfectly balanced pastrami sandwich but still with every bite you are surprised that it’s is so good :)

Great coffee and amazing choice of vegan, veggie pizza sandwiches. Best coffee we've had so far.

Panella, definitely in my morning stops when in town. The atmosphere is lovely with both indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Perfect whether you want a cozy coffee break inside or to soak up the street life outside. The coffee is excellent, and their brick oven pastries and pizzas are hard to resist. I’m especially hooked on their pistachio cornettos, flaky, rich, and filled just right. The cannolis are also a treat, and they make the cutest little sandwiches that are perfect for a light bite.

We really enjoyed Caffè Panella and ate breakfast here several times on our trip. The pastries and pizza are delicious. Good coffee also. You first order at the counter and pay afterwards, which is a bit confusing at first, but once we figured it out, it worked fine. Nice outside seating area.

We had a very pleasant time at Panella, eating the famous Roman pizza. A lovely lady took our order, and even though she didn’t speak English we understood each other very well. Se was very sweet. The pizza was delicious! We felt very welcoming. Grazie mille!

I came with my friends and asked to sit outside. One waiter told us to order inside as self-service, so we did. After we ordered and paid, another waiter came and said we weren’t allowed to sit outside because of a “service difference.” Even after I explained that their own staff instructed us to do exactly that, she said she couldn’t do anything and told us to either move inside or leave. They never spoke to the waiter who gave us the wrong information — they just blamed us. Eventually, I insisted on sitting outside and had to convince them to let me pay the service difference. On top of that, when I asked to pack my leftovers, the waitress handed me the container and made me pack everything myself — without even giving me a bag. What service did I even pay for? And to make it worse, they made me pay at the counter instead of at the table. Overall, the service was terrible. The desserts weren’t good, and even the latte and hot chocolate were disappointing.

I enjoy my breakfast very much here. everything is so good!! love the pizza n croissant cant wait to go back here again :)

Panella is the right choice for breakfast or brunch. The Espresso and Cappuccino are fresh. The maritozzi is to die for: yummy bread with fresh cream; good to go with Espresso.

Best cafe latte I have ever had!!! And the staff was super kind and sweet

Inside the former monastery and now the museum Chiostro del Bramante a cafè shop with two salons for serving and a gangway seating observing the courtyard from above. The cafe-shop salons are decorated in tune with the running exhibition. In our case it was "Emotions". The food we had was missing esprit. Especially the veggie burger needs an urgent make-up. One a much lighter note the cafe drinks served were all up to snuff. The staff were fast, friendly and funny. Everyone could come here from the street without going through the exhibition. Do it, it is worth it.

Chistro Del Bramante include exposition and the cafeteria ! We just went to the cafeteria because we heard the spot is beautiful which it is ! To go to cafe, it’s free ! You don’t need to pay fees or entrance The cafe is opened for breakfast, lunch, brunch or cocktails ! We just have cappuccino ! It was ok ! The place has Renaissance style with mix of clsssique and moderne ! Lots of colours ! Very nice place to chill

Beautiful cafe. Excellent selection of coffee, pies, cakes, and desserts. The staff is friendly and attentive.

Basic cafe however decor and location was really nice! To access the cafe you must order something. Worth visiting for quick coffee ☺️

Very colourful and beautiful, but it is on self serves and the music is really low at the caffe. They don’t have a lot of food. I had a good time enjoying my morning there, recommend.

Very cool coffee shop to stop by and check out when in Rome.

Great place to study or read. They have fast free wifi. You can work inside (where they have some outlets, but not at every seat) or outside if you want something more quiet. Inside is really beautiful and worth checking out but sometimes full. Food is average, I ordered the brownie which was a bit dry. The bathrooms are nice and clean. Overall recommend this place to get a couple drinks with friends or get some work done. [update] Quite disappointed as I went today after not going for a while and they said you now have to buy a museum ticket to go to the cafe. Shame 😕

If you also like Italian cream buns, then you absolutely cannot miss this bakery. In addition to being able to choose large or small cream buns, it also offers a variety of different styles of pastries made with cream and ordinary bread. In addition, the shop is actually composed of a main bakery and a coffee shop. If you only want cream buns, you can go directly to the coffee shop to place an order and buy the coffee you want. But if you want to take away or choose other styles of pastries, you can only buy them in the bakery first and then go to the coffee shop to choose your favorite coffee. In short, this is also a must-try bakery in Rome.

Stopped at Regoli Pasticceria to try the Maritozzi, and it was definitely worth the short wait in line. Service was quick and friendly, and the pastry was fresh, fluffy, and delicious. There are plenty of other tempting options in the bakery too. Would definitely come back and recommend- so tasty!

Worth the visit. Great service. Delicious pastries. This spot was a 10min walk from my hotel and I stumbled into it one morning looking for a caffe. Ended up eating a cannoli and taking some pastries to go. The Sfogliatella was delicious, it had 2 different types of stuffing, the main being the traditional style semolina creamed mixture as well as a cannoli ricotta style. The ricotta style didn’t not have the same taste as you would except, it was creamer. Different from what I am use to but delicious!

This spot is worth it! If possible you need to try this while in Rome. Cappuccino was great but the Maritozzo was amazing! Far better than anything else we tried. It was delicious light and fluffy, sweet but not too sweet. I enjoyed a large by myself and I don’t have a huge sweet tooth. If ever in Rome again I would go every time!

This was my first time trying the famous marritozzo from Regoli, and it didn’t disappoint. The brioche bun was very airy and fluffy, with a slight lemon zest to it, which I enjoyed. The whipped cream was also very light and delicious, as it wasn’t too sweet. I wouldn’t go out of the way, if you’re only in Rome for a short visit, but do recommend if you’re nearby the establishment.

The fagottini di ricotta is (no exaggeration) the best pastry I’ve had in my life! Highly recommend that one, and the wild strawberry tart is very good too. The maritozzi and cannoli were just okay in my opinion, but they seem to be really popular. Went here 2 days in a row, once at 8am and another at 10am. There was no queue at 8am but at 10am I had to wait around half an hour, so definitely try to go early.

Ever since I tasted the wild strawberries tart in 2024, I've been impossible to satisfy my craving. I’ve searched everywhere, but nothing compares. There’s simply nothing better than a chilled, freshly made cream tart topped with ripe wild strawberries—I just can’t get enough.

Really good food, all staff very friendly. The atmosphere was great the place was busy and full of chatter. Ordered a bottle of Rose and two courses the total came to €50! As we waited for our food complimentary potato chips were left at our table. Highly recommend this gem.

Great food and service. We got a bottle of wine, 2 apps, 3 mains, and dessert, and all of it was great, no notes. Even brought chips while we waited for apps. The carpaccio in the photo may not look good but the flavour combination was unreal.

My favourite place in Pigneto. They’ve got an amazing garden, which looks magical at night with all the lights on. The food’s very good and reasonably priced. Plus I read up it was Pier Paolo Pasolini’s favourite spot to hang out, and there’s even a mural dedicated to him just around the corner.

Best pomodoro sauce I had on pasta during a 10 day trip to Italy. Desserts look really good too. Friendly service. Nice vibe.

Great place for any occasion, get together with friends or just an aperitif. Food is great, drinks too, only critical point is that the service might take too long to take orders.

We enjoyed our meal at Necci, it was actually our first meal in Rome and was so impressed!

Living in Rome for a short period of time, this place is honestly the best. I’ve been here 5 times in the past 2 months, and it’s still one of my favorites. The seafood is super fresh, the pasta is amazing, and the atmosphere is great. My favorite: the octopus is grilled perfectly, slightly crispy on the tentacle tips and tender in the thicker parts. And all of their homemade pastas are cooked perfectly and paired with fresh, seasonal ingredients. ❤️

A great view makes this cafe a special one. Although these kind of restaurants are a bit tourist trap in touristic cities but this one is just fine and you can enjoy spending your time here. A bit pricy in some items but still good. I had a cup of tea but some things on the menu seemed a bit expensive. I would like to go back to try some dishes.

Ok 5 stars for service and atmosphere but only 3 overall. This is due the 19% service charge they add to your bill. The food was good and the desserts were amazing. Our waiter was very nice and professional. It's a very expensive restaurant as well.

We had a very quick breakfast there while waiting for our TukTuk tour. Cappuccino was really good as in most places in Italy, croissant and fruit tart were fresh and moist. Kids loved their fruit salad as well! Their outdoor sitting area is overlooking Piazza del Popolo so great place to chill. And as the day was quite hot they had little water dispersing hoses on top to keep it little cooler.

really great service!! started with good appetizers and pasta. finished with some amazing dessert and really nice wine. overall amazing.

Where is hospitality? They charge you 20% of all, but never do anything. So rude waiters, tourists trap. Good things are location and no waiting for all the time🤗

First of all, the 19% service charge is written clearly on the menu - as illegal as it likely is - and we decided to stay knowing we would pay it. The atmosphere at sunset is lovely, the history of the cafe between literature and cinema is well known, and we enjoyed spending time there. The drinks were sub-par, especially the non-alchol spritz which tasted like grandma's century old candies. The 5.5% additional charge for paying by card, unannouced, would have been worth calling the Guardia di Finanza if we didn't want to ruin the relaxing time spent.

Não frequentem este restaurante, eles adicionam valores na hora de pagar. Fiquem atentos. (Não existe taxa de serviço na Itália e nem gorjeta). Prestem bastante atenção na hora de passar o cartão pois eles adicionam valores sem você ver. It is very sad to know that, in a beautiful place like Rome, we have a dishonest workers and a place that accept them and probably even make them act like that. First of all, the price is ridiculously high, which we could accept if the problem stopped there. But then comes the bill, and they add service, which, for who doesn't know, doesn't exist in Italy. Tip it is another thing that doesn't exist here, unless you reeeeeeaaaaally want to tip your waitress. Our bill came with 12.16 Euros in service, which shouldn't. The total (with the tip/service) would be 76.16. On top of that, the waitress charged $79.16 and played dumb. We could have left a real tip for her and even a nice review, even going back every day because we are a few steps from here, but dishonesty doesn't fit our pockets. I wonder how many people are struggling because they come here on a budget and fall for this terrible trap and scam. Look, the food is ok, nothing speacial, nothing marvelously delicious, just ok. The price is already high for an okay food, there is no need to do this at all. Ever! I am 100% sure that, all the money you guys are scamming from honest customer (yes, this is theft), won't make you rich, and a little further in your days the life will make you, the dishonest ones, pay back in double. Just remember: don't accept to pay for service (you can call the police, the number is 113) and check the price they put in the credit card machine before you pay. Leave tip if you want, but remember: it is not usual to do so in Italy.

Very calm and cozy place to study, work or read. You pay 5 euro deposit at the entrance with which you can also buy drinks

Stumbled upon this cafe/bar/library when dropping our luggage in for the day. Looks to be an old carpark converted into a wonderful chill space. Ducted air conditioning to escape the summer heat. Great coffee!!

I’ve found my working place!!! 😎Gosh love this place so much. For those who’s been looking for a working/studying place where you can work calmly and having a nice space for discussion in group / online meeting in Rome (which quite hard to find) this could be your place too. It’s a bit off side from the center in Ostiense/pyramid area. The place is spacious & the staffs are friendly. How does it work? 1. When you arrive tell them you are intend to work/study. 2. Pay €5, this would be the min. credit for your food & drinks. You can take a coffe, then take chips, then something else.. only when you consume more then you have to pay the additional price for the food & drinks (which is fair). Bonus: *sometimes they will have event at night so you will see stage complete with the music instruments. *they have various books in case you’re in the mood for reading *they have a complete bar for alcohol & non *they provide plugs & wifi

Beautiful unique space, fuels you to get creative / productive! Highly recommend if you want a day to work/read/relax. Feels just like your living room but better. Very cozy, nice buffet, good food.

most wonderful study spot in rome. so cozy & so many places to sit. you pay a €5 fee when you walk in the door and you use that to buy coffee and snacks during your stay. you can always spend more than that too!

A great place created for people who need a spot for studying or smart working. The principle is easy: you come and pay a 5€ deposit that you can spend during the time you are staying there. There are a lot of zones with different seats, sofas, and chairs, and the wi-fi works pretty well. Come here if you prefer to work in silence and if the presence of other working people inspires you. Productivity is guaranteed by the vibe of this place 😌💻 I put 4 stars only because the bathroom is always dirty and the flush button is broken.

I was blown away by the cool atmosphere of this place. Live music playing 60' 70' swing and jazz, people dancing and enjoying. Decent food and drinks. Reasonable prices as well. Service could be improved. If the weather is not good I would not recommend it as majority of the tables are without a cover. Thumbs up. Go visit after 21:00...you won't be disappointed. P.S. it is also a train station museum.

Stumbled across this fab café on my last day in Rome recently. Had the most amazing smoked salmon & avocado salad with fennel, pink grapefruit & orange - sounds like it shouldn’t work but it was fabulous, so much so I’ve had to recreate the salad at home. The bread basket was also wonderful, with the most amazing herb bread among the selection. Very friendly staff. Deserves a much higher rating than it has on here. I highly recommend.

It was one of the best dining experiences in Rome. I had a vegetarian lasagna that was truly unique, and a salad that went perfectly with it. The street atmosphere was delightful — the service, everything. The menu was about 80% vegetarian. Absolutely perfect. Bitten 🇩🇰

Really lovely cafe in Rome - has a great selection of teas and coffee. We had brunch here and it was delicious! I had the salmon and avocado which was tasty and a good price. I also had the chai latte and my partner had a great coffee. Very attentive service and lovely decor. Wish I'd found this place sooner as its not too touristy but pretty close to piazza Navona and the river. Would go again, highly recommend.

This is a great cafe! One of the best in central rome. It has delicious food, a great menu with lots of options, and very good coffee as well. The croissants are so amazing and there are lots of flavors. They have a large variety of teas as well from all over the world. This place should be rated at 4.5 to 5 stars without a doubt. The outdoor seating is lovely and the street is not too busy or loud. Highly recommend!

Genuinely can't recommend this place enough. Food is incredible, especially the BAKERY, the best dessert I've had in Italy, I'm going to dream about that cake and fresh in house made custard for the rest of my life. The espresso is good too. Def one of my fave finds in Rome.

I don't understand the low rating of the Caffe Novecento! We had an excellent brunch made with fresh ingredients, fresh pastries and excellent coffee, the service was friendly and the atmosphere is very beautiful! The prices are reasonable considering the location. If we are ever in Rome again, we will definitely come back here.

The cafe is a cute and quiet place, that resembles a coffee shop in France. Cozy and the girls who served us were polite and helpful. Great atmosphere.

The most delicious matcha latte I've had. It was so good. The place was cute and it seems like a lot of people use it to work, which is great. It's a bit pricey though

The place at all honestly was great.. it would've be excellent for studying or working, if it wasn't for the setting, they were uncomfortable and jiggly. If you are coming to chat the place is great. the staff were very kind, the food was alright although a pit overpriced since most of the customers are Americans studying in Rome.

I really enjoyed this cafe. It was raining outside and Ex Circus provided a great space for me to work for a couple hours out of the wet and cold. Their WiFi worked just fine and I had no issue staying connected. I had a really lovely and refreshing sandwich and americano. It wasn’t too pricey either. This cafe also has live music on certain days and times. Overall I enjoyed my experience and wish I could’ve gone back to try some other menu items that caught my eye.

If you're looking for a cozy spot to get some work done or hit the books, you can't go wrong with this place. The food is delicious and the staff is super nice and helpful. I always feel welcome and comfortable here. This is one of my favorite places in Rome and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

A few of us went for breakfast and everyone enjoyed their meals. I got the bagel with avocado, tofu and sun-dried tomatoes. Nice for a fairly quick breakfast but it can get busy so that may not always be the case.

Ex • Circus is a cute bar not far from piazza navona where you can relax, have breakfast or other and use free wifi. They have an area in the back that is quiet for those that want to work and need to focus. Stop in and say hello to Camilla and make sure you try their lemonade!

Great spot to come and work on your laptop. There’s great coffee and lots of seating with fast WiFi. Place also has a bathroom and serves delicious meals. #BeatTheGrind

It’s a nice discovery, hidden from tourists passing by but still easy to reach. I had a poke bowl; all the ingredients were well prepared. I just didn’t like that it was served with teriyaki sauce, but that’s a matter of taste. There’s art, books, and a good vibe. The staff is friendly and helpful.

We spent all mornings in Rome at Materia Cafe, and it was truly an amazing experience! Good vibes, good food and friendly staff! What a nice way to start our days in Rome 🫶 Grazie mille

I ordered the Cesar salad and forgot to mention that I didn’t want it with bacon. When the waiter comes with my meal I asked if it would be okay to have it without the bacon. She takes it back and it’s substituted with chicken. As I continued to eat I see a piece of bacon in my bowl. They decided to PICK OUT the bacon and throw chicken on top of it instead of making a new salad. Absolutely disgusting and not to mention the cross contamination. I will never come back here!

This is my favorite cafe in Rome to study in :) and I come every week. Really great location considering it's next to San Giovanni. The food and drinks are extremely affordable and delicious. There also plenty of comfy study spots where I tend to read a book, work on my laptop, or just enjoy the overall ambience.

Always happy to find Turkish eggs on a menu, and these didn't disappoint. cappuccino was perfect - just the right temperature, cute little cup.

Overrated as a “coworking café.” Not enough outlets, staff unplugged my laptop without asking (!), and you’re forced to leave during lunch hours. Fine for coffee or chatting, but terrible for studying or working.

The food was exceptional and the coffee was great too. Just bear in mind that the wait time can be quite long.

Two Sizes is a must-visit in Rome for tiramisu lovers. The name says it all, you can choose either a small or large portion, and every bite is fantastic. They have several flavors besides the classic, including pistachio, caramel, peanut, and strawberry. The pistachio, classic and caramel were all my favorites. The texture is perfectly creamy with just the right balance of espresso and sweetness. It’s easily some of the best tiramisu I’ve ever had. There’s usually a line, but it moves quickly and is absolutely worth it. A perfect stop for dessert while wandering through the city.

We were craving tiramisu as we wandered through the streets of Rome on our last day in Italy. We had planned to order it during lunch, but then we came across a small pastry shop called Two Sizes. The sign claimed they had the best tiramisu in town and there was already a line outside, which felt like something we had manifested. We joined the queue and eventually got our hands on their classic tiramisu. We picked up two large cups and couldn’t wait to dig in. One spoonful was enough to know we’d found something special. We finished it faster than we expected. It was excellent and almost as good as the one we had in Bern at a place called Luce. A really memorable experience.

I tried this tiramisu based on the great reviews, and even though the line looked incredibly long at first, don’t hesitate to wait — it moves very quickly. I’ve had tiramisu in many places across Italy, and I can honestly say this one is truly something special. If you’re in Rome, it’s definitely worth trying.

A quick service tiramisu place where you’ll find tiramisu in 2 sized cups. Hence the name of the place. They serve 5 flavours, Classic, Caramel, Strawberry, Pistachio, and Peanut. We tried Caramel, Classic, and Strawberry. They were all good. Nothing too fancy and definitely not the best. You can definitely have better tiramisu at other restaurants. Big cup is €4 and small is €3. The cream tasted fresh and quite filling and the base was nice and moist. We also tried a small chocolate Cannoli which was essentially Nutella filling. It was fine and I believe it costed €2 You can give it a try if you just got out of a nearby restaurant and are craving a casual dessert.

We had the classic, pistachio and peanut butter! Delicious!! 👍👍 and the staff were so nice & friendly! Grazie! But please also check out Pellegrino Gelateria Monteforte, only a few minutes walk from here. They have the best pistachio Gelato ever! Great building's history as well.

The little shop was steps away from some amazing restaurants. The line was large but it moves very quickly. As the name implies, there are two sizes to choose from; however, there are several flavours. We went with the classico and it did not disappoint! For quick takeaway tiramisu, you cannot go wrong!

The reviews for this place are NOT EXAGGERATING. What a beautiful establishment. What beautiful employees. What fantastic tiramisu. They have not one, but TWO sizes of the most delectable tiramisu in town at the most affordable price in the whole of Italy. Fruit lovers will rejoice at the sight of their Fragola flavor. Love nuts? You're covered. Feeling creamy? Caramel is there. And of course, the Original is utterly OUTSTANDING. I am still in shock and awe. Praise be to Italy for birthing such a wonderful tiramisu shop. May Pope Leo bless this beautiful beautiful shop for many years to come.

An excellent, thin crust, take-away pizza!! We shared the red pizza and the Margherita. Fresh, quality ingredients, and crispy crust! And I loved that you could watch the pizzas being made as you ordered. My only complaint is that we had to eat the pizza at an Irish pub nearby because the pizza place was take-away only.

I had the mortadella focaccia and the bread tasted fresh. The flavors were extremely simple, with a focus on the freshness of the ingredients. I also had their ragu suppli and it was the highlight for me. Crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside!

One of my favourite panini spots in the city! Always the freshest, tastiest ingredients and the bread is always perfectly crisp and doused in high quality olive oil. Highly recommend the simple mortadella panino and any of the vegetarian options but especially the one with zucchini, tomatoes and grated provolone. Sweet, ripe tomatoes are such a treat when in Italy. Definitely get your panini to take away and sit on the edge of the nearby fountain in the piazza to enjoy them in the sun.

IlForno in Campo de’ Fiori has been a staple for us whenever we’re in Rome, and more often than not, we find ourselves visiting multiple times a day. It’s the ultimate spot for what we call “walkie-talkie pizza”—fresh, crispy, and absolutely delicious slices perfect for grabbing on the go while soaking in the energy of the piazza. Since 1970, this bakery has stayed true to its roots, never compromising on quality or tradition. Every bite reflects the care and skill of the bakers who craft their pizzas and breads daily, using the best ingredients—rigorously extra virgin olive oil, high-quality butter, and rich, flavorful toppings. There are no shortcuts here, just pure, honest flavors that have stood the test of time. Whether it’s the classic pizza bianca, the irresistible pizza rossa, or any of their other specialties, Il Forno never disappoints. The aroma alone is enough to draw you in, and once you’ve had a taste, you’ll likely be back for more (as we always are). A true Roman institution and an absolute must for anyone in the area!

Another top-tier Roman bakery. Their pizza al taglio (pizza by the slice) is excellent. A great way to end the Roman food experience.

We did a food tour and this place was our 2nd stop. The pizza blanco and pizza margherita were excellent. The bread was crispy, fresh, and not too heavy. Our first taste of a traditional Italian bakery did not disappoint.

I came at 8.30am and no long queue. I got my focaccia and pizza al taglio… both are still warm and was soooooo good. The focaccia is the best, it’s crunchy but soft.

Highly recommending Il Sorpasso. The service was inviting and they found us seats without a reservation. The vibe is chill and it’s a place for foodies—. The selection and quality of meats, cheeses and wines is superb and local. The menu changes weekly; the bread is fresh and the flavors deep and fulfilling. You will not get a random, bland tourist menu, here. It’s hip, tasty and confident in its approach to food and service. Toilets were clean and spacious. The wild ham was truly a delicious experience- aged 30 months.

We had been recommended to go here and it was the best restaurant we ate at during our stay in Rome. We hadn't booked so went early and they found us a table, good that we did as when we came out there were queues to get in and all tables inside and out were full. The food was excellent, the beef filet cooked perfectly, and the beef tatare delicious, followed by sublime cheesecake and cannolo, plus excellent wines. The service was by far the best we have had during our stay, with extremely pleasant and professional waiting staff, happy to advise on any of the dishes on the menu. Would definitely recommend eating here and booking a table before you go.

Typical Italian place, food is more than amazing. Everything is so delicious that you keep eating. Staff is attentive and always ready to help. There are also canapés going around to give you an extra taste of freshly cooked food. 😍Cannot recommend more

First and foremost, exceptional service. Sara was incredible. Super friendly and gave great recommendations for food and drink. Favorite meal in Rome so far! We had this for lunch after touring the Vatican. So close, but much quieter area.

A heartly and lively bar restaurant, with professional crew who very well know and obviously love what they’re doing! I first randomly dropped in having a bourbon sauer cocktail, they offered me a plate of delicious aperitivo made of different slices of cheese, fresh toast, and delicious ham. Prosciutto was so soft it would melt in your mouth. The day after, I went there again with my girlfriend for the last dinner in Rome, the Beef fillet was amazing, tender and delicious. the sides were its own delicacy, never thought I would love red cabbage so much (which I usually don’t) bought some 24 month aged Ham for the way back! Best restaurant experience I had in Rome, definitely suggest it!

A Must-Visit in Rome! Il Sorpasso was one of the best meals we had during our time in Rome. The wine selection was excellent, the food was incredibly tasty, and every dish felt fresh and full of authentic Italian flavor. The atmosphere was vibrant yet cozy — it felt like a true local Roman experience. Our service was attentive and friendly, making the evening even more enjoyable. We can’t recommend Il Sorpasso enough and will absolutely return on our next trip to Rome!

We have now eaten here 2 times during our stay and really enjoy the food, wine, vibe and service. It is worth the wait for a table. Try the sorpassino as a delicious smal dessert 👌

A lovely tea shop with a very nice design. They offer a wide variety of teas and desserts. When I asked the lady at the counter, she told me the desserts were halal. I was too full to try them, but it could be a nice tea time option for Muslims looking for halal. Still, I recommend asking again before ordering.

While I was only able to stop for a “to go” tea since we were sight seeing, I’ll give my thoughts on my time waiting in the cafe area. The service is very nice and I was able to get my tea quickly. They even took my tea bag out at the appropriate time before I left the shop so I could enjoy the peak flavor while drinking it. They have tons of options of tea, and food. There’s tea you can buy inside the shop, but don’t rush! Go and enjoy the journey of the tea. If I am back in this area I would absolutely stop in for a proper tea time. The atmosphere was very authentic and quiet, even considering its location next to the steps. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. What an awesome place even if you’re not a tea lover, they have other beverages as well.

Has a crush on this tea shop! Really beautiful and tasty cakes , good tea, coffee was good too. Tiramisu was so airy with nice coffee , cream was also tasty. The atmosphere and decoration are very relaxing and elegant ! The staff is so nice , educated and smiling ! Really nice uniform too! I really recommended this place . Wish there would be a place like this in Paris !!

Great high tea (and coffee) near the Spanish Steps! I saw Babington’s many times as I made my way back and forth across the metropolis of Rome. After dinner one night I was craving something sweet and swooped into this lovely tea room. Even though it was near closing they still took my partner and I for a quick dessert. Could not have been happier with the torte. Light and rich at the same time and tons of great flavor thanks to the strawberries! Id highly recommend this place to anyone wanting an upscale breakfast, sweet treat, or high tea as you shop to your hearts content.

It's just an expensive coffee shop with a lot teas from black tea, herbal, to fruits. Also, special teas from China and Japan. Lovely place and beautiful service. But honestly, it doesn't deserve that expensive price for cup of tea or coffee.

Babington’s Tea Room is not only a calming and inviting spot to hang out or work, but it’s also a part of the Spanish Steps and the rich history of Rome. The owners, with their deep love for the history of the tea room, are always happy to share its fascinating past. With a fantastic tea selection—including iced, hot, and tea-infused cocktails—it’s a destination for more than just refreshments. The eggs Benedict and cheesecake are personal favorites, and the lovely, welcoming staff and owners make the experience even better! A visit here is as much about the history as it is about the ambiance.

Victoria at Babingtons in Rome is truly a gem. Like a queen in grace and warmth, she serves with a radiant smile that lights up the entire outdoor terrace. Her friendliness, professionalism, and genuine charm make every guest feel like royalty. She is not just a wonderful employee—she is the heart and soul of the Babingtons outdoor experience. A truly exemplary staff member whose presence elevates the entire place.

Great bar and forno!!! The service was very warm and the people as well. Not a tourist trap, as locals prefer it too.. amazing cappuccino,pistachio cornetto and mortadella sandwitch :) it also provides food for lunch at reasonable prices.. The man there ever gave us a tote bag for free, cause we got there very often.. thank you for adding more flavor to our vacation🫶🏼

We were in Rome for a holiday, and we tried to choose as a tourist a "tipical" italian place/bakery where we can get a "tipical" italian breakfast. What can I say.... Everything was delicious, this place is amazing and totally recommended. Staff are very kind and helpful. There were other breakfast places closer to our accommodation, but after our first morning here, we decided to come back for a second time. As tourists, it was a bonus for us to get a glimpse of how Italians have their breakfast (i.e., a quick cornetto at the counter while waiting for the espresso to brew) 😁 (On the second day, we went a little later (around 10:00-11:00 a.m.), by which time most of the pastries had been replaced by lunch items on the counter (as can be seen in the photos))

We went in not sure what to order, and the staff went above and beyond to take care of us. They had us try a few traditional Roman bites and even picked out the perfect dishes so we could get a real taste of Rome. Everything was delicious, the prices were great, and the atmosphere was exactly what you’d hope for — warm, local, and full of charm. Such a wonderful experience all around!

Very easygoing with great prices. The staff is very nice. There is both inside and outside seating. If i lived in the area i'd eat here 3 times a week minimum.

Bakery Roscioli Pietro is a true Roman gem. The food is authentic Italian home cooking at its finest—simple, flavourful. My family and I looked forward to stopping by daily during our stay in Rome. The friendly staff make the experience even better. Easily the best food we had in the city. Grazie a tutti, ci vediamo al mio prossimo viaggio a Roma.

All fresh and delicious Superb deli serving pastries, bakery goods, simple lunch dishes and cookies/sweets with coffee Highly recommend if around

Perfect place to go for a breakfast for me. The place looks like a classic homey vibe. They have various breads available and also a Panini options. The coffee is good 👌🏻 The food is good👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻..

The take-away bar is great. Very fast, just order at the register. People staying at the hotel get a 10% discount. The table service is okay, but one waiter kept taking stuff off our table (oil, candles) to give to other tables, and he didn't even ask. That was a little weird. The servers are otherwise very courteous. The food was tasty, good portion sizes.

Even though the staff was very friendly and welcoming, I wouldn’t come here again. The waffle tasted rather industrial, almost like one from a vending machine, and it wasn’t worth the €10. The cappuccino, however, was quite good and nicely presented. The table still had crumbs and streaks from however when.

Really delicious dishes. Fantastic choice of products. The manue is based on traditional cuisine but at the same time the dishes are brilliantly reinvented within the traditions. It's amazing to find such a sofisticated place in the middle of tourist location. Very nice design. Reasonable prices. A really caring good service.

Went here for breakfast to fuel us for a busy day. Coffee was really nice but unfortunately no black tea if you don’t like coffee. A few tea infusions to choose from but sometimes they just don’t hit the spot the same as black tea. Location is great, we sat outside and had a nice view of the Santa Maria Basilica. Overall the food was okay - English breakfast was good however one strange thing the baked beans were cold, to the point where they didn’t even seem like they had been warmed up and just gone cold. The salmon avocado toast was very good. Would recommend if looking for a decent breakfast

Molino Bakery is a cozy and lively spot that’s definitely worth a visit! We tried the avocado toast and a pizza with ham — both were really tasty and freshly made. The avocado toast was creamy and perfectly seasoned, and the pizza had that nice balance between a crisp base and rich flavor. You can really tell they use good ingredients. The place gets quite busy, especially during breakfast and lunch hours, so it took a little while to place our order. But the staff stayed friendly and attentive even with the crowd, which made the experience pleasant overall. If you’re not in a rush and just want to relax with great food and a good atmosphere, Molino Bakery is a solid choice. It’s the kind of place you could easily come back to — whether for a quick snack, coffee, or a full meal.

The Man behind the counter, Federico was very helpful at guiding me through their wide selection of delicious pizza. Also, which beers to go with I was extremely pleased with the service and the food was fantastic. I recommend this place over any place next to the Colosseum restaurant’s next to the Colosseum Use the proximity to lure customers however, their food is subpar simply because they do not believe they need to earn their customers loyalty. I ordered a lasagna at one of the two that are overlooking the Colosseum. I forget the name at this moment, but it was the worst lasagna I’ve ever had in Life,and I’m in Italy. Molino is the #1 Recommendation if you’re looking to eat authentic delicious Italian food. Here is a picture of my great time at Molino pizza!😁👌

What an amazing find! The food tastes as good as it looks and the coffee is spot on. The price is a bit higher than other places but you get value for money in quality and variety. Perfect for a lunch or stop to rest up 👌🏼

I did not have a good experience with the food. Others at my table enjoyed their food but mine made me sick to my stomach. Salmon avocado sunrise (0/5) - poached egg was practically raw. It made me sick to my stomach and I unfortunately couldn’t eat the rest of my meal. Vegan Caesar Salad (2/5) - half decent but missing a lot of flavor. Was warm though. Lasagna (4/5) Coffee (3/5) - was somewhat warm. Pro: Lots of vegan options and detailing of allergies. Very cute spot. Cons: expensive and inconsistent

Lovely place with priceless view from Navona square. Great spot with better shade to avoid the sun! That what took us here! But for a place that wasn’t busy in the middle of the day it was shocking bad service. From never come to see if we wanted something to go to check info and never come back. Menu is mixed some has in English some doesn’t. When asked about English menu they just pointed to a QR code that’s in exactly same way of the one on the table… if you don’t know Italian you can’t read the whole menu and if you don’t know English as well. Useless menu really!!! Food you can see from what it was supposed to be a Nachos with guacamole mole….. can’t say more that my pics. Just see from yourself. Lovely place but it needs someone to run it properly urgently!

I had vegan brunch, my partner wanted to eat buffola but at 11:30 they were out of it. Our drinks did not arrive still long after we already ate (two coffees mind you). Cannot blame the staff too much, there were only two servers on a sunday, one outside one inside to do all of the chores. Interior is nice but the atmosphere is sub par. If you must eat in the area and are vegan, I would go to another place.

This has been one of my favorites whenever I’m in Rome and at Piazza Navona. Very cute cafe/bistro with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere and really good food choices. I also love the fact that they’re always able to seat us at our favorite spot by the window with a lovely view of Piazza Navona.

Great atmosphere, food looks good but taste average. My husband had the Nutella pancakes, his thought was that the pancake must have been warmed up store bought pancakes. I had better experience, my salmon avocado on toast was good but rather steep for €16. The ginseng cappuccino was great also. Overall it’s another restaurant that look good on photograph, ticked from the list, then move on to the next place.

Surprisingly Perfect Burger in Rome I’m usually not a big burger fan—especially when traveling in Rome, where I’d rather “do as the Romans do.” But we stumbled upon this place when we were already quite tired, and I thought, why not try just one small meal? To my surprise, it turned out to be one of the best burgers I’ve had in ages. The bun was wonderfully crispy, and the meat was perfectly cooked just as I’d asked. It came with delicious fried potatoes included in the price, which was a great bonus. The view from the spot made the experience even better, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. While Rome is full of amazing restaurants, if you’re craving a truly great burger, I couldn’t recommend this place more. The menu had a huge variety of options too, which was impressive. Absolutely delighted—highly recommend!

We had Paolo as our server and couldn’t be more impressed, he recommended some amazing meals to us. I’m gluten free and he helped guide me through which meals were safe, my partner isn’t gluten free but he also assisted him! Thank you so much for your amazing customer service! Highly recommend the restaurant and Paolo as a server! Thank you!

Definitely 💯 recommended. Been there twice on my trip to Rome and it was delicious, fresh bread, all of them, salty and sweet, staff were nice 👍. Depending the hours can be a little bit crowded but definitely worth the price and taste

Classic Roman cafe and patisserie with gelato. My gelato was cold, creamy and lemony with the crunch of some pinenuts. The cherry and ricotta tart was sharp, creamy and delicious. And the Apricot juice was very cooling on a hot Roman day The staff could not have been nicer or more helpful - lovely people and a great experience. Recommended

Beautiful Pasticceria with nice service and quality. I’ve traveled to Rome quite a few times during the last couple of years. And I always eat my breakfast and sometimes my aperitif at this pasticceria. I have never experienced an unfriendly service or different prices. And I have never experienced being treated different (as a tourist). So I cannot agree with the bad recommendations in here. In fact, it is a beautiful family owned nice place with amazing quality in food. And I’ve seen a lot, trust me! Big recommendation!

We loved this cafe! Their delicious sfogliatella and coffee were a real treat. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Especially the lovely lady at the counter was full of energy, delivering the best customer service and she even treated us to free pastries! We left feeling really happy and cared for. Highly recommended!

Bar as they call it here in Italy. Not sure if they like Americans, one server behind the counter was snappy to my friend. But the pastries were delicious.

Amazing bakery and café! A must-visit when you’re in Rome — everything looks and tastes incredible. They also serve great lunch options. We came here every single day during our trip just to try something new. The croissants are the best I’ve ever had!

We lived right up this place during our trip to Rome, so we had breakfast here almost every day. Their pastry was so good, and the coffee excellent. Their gelato may not be as well known as the one at the end of the street, but I must say it's much better. We will miss this place.

The icecream is simply amazing! When I'm back R(h)ome I always go here for a real good gelato!

Well known pastry shop. Usually crowded. Excellent food quality, vast assortment of cakes and sweet and ice cream, very expensive. Popular neighborhood place where young and older clients visit. Outdoor seating.

Ice cream is great but service is horrible!! I felt mistreated, i asked which ice cream doesn’t contain gluten itself contamination is not a problem and the answer was i don’t know, al contain with an angry face. Well who knows then if even angry woman who serves ice cream doesn’t??

This is our local and favorite place for a top quality cornetto (get the mandorla!) and cappuccino. Prices are a bit more than other bars, but the quality is worth it! They are also open every day, even Ferragosto. Check out their desserts and gelato in the evening, too!

Amazing Ice Cream. Although more modern Ice cream places are filling Rome, this place gives you an amazing feel of how Italian ice cream used to be 10 years ago. Been going here since I was 3 years old.

great gelato good coffee wonderful aperitivo not to mention its panini and tramezzini you cannot go wrong! Staff is sometimes not so friendly.

Mediocre, high priced gelato. The staff can be rude and impatient. With all the other choices of gelato in Rome, I'd go elsewhere.

A great little find, lovely authentic Italian food and beverages, served with a smile. The setting and atmosphere are second to none. You can eat in or Alfresco. I had a Diavolo pizza for dinner(amazing) the wife didn't leave any of her Carbonara either. They have a varied menu of Coffee and di breakfast and snacks too. Have been here 3 times at various times of day and had an excellent experience every time Highly recommend to everyone

Cute little place to pop in if you're nearby. We had coffee, which was great, and sandwiches that were nothing special considering the price which was pretty high for what you get. We all tried some cannolis which might be the tiniest I've ever seen, pricey but tasty. The woman who served us spoke English very well and she was very kind, she made our first morning in Rome brighter (even though it was raining).

If you’re not welcoming to tourists or international customers, why open a café in a tourist area? I visited this café on 24 July for a quick afternoon espresso, drawn in by its strong Google reviews and the award plaques by the door. Not realising there was table service, I went up to the counter to order. No one corrected me — instead, I was met with cold, dismissive service throughout. The atmosphere was tense: the staff looked burnt out, and the manager seemed visibly irritated. I did end up ordering a dessert — the tiramisu was fine, though the cocoa-powdered “OK” on the plate was… unexpected and confusing. It’s a shame. The coffee and food were decent, but the overall experience left a sour note. I wouldn’t return.

A perfect spot for breakfast! I had a croissant, a donut, and a cappuccino – everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommended for a morning start!

This place was amazing!! Exactly what I was looking for in Rome. Perfect cappuccino, amazing biscotti, and the sweetest staff! They also have the most romantic music playing outside and the shop is located on such a cute street!! Definitely recommend.

I believe that when you you are in Italy/Rome, you need your morning coffee/croissant etc made by Italians because only they know how to do it. Delicious. Friendly service and normal priced. Highly recommend.

Great place for coffee along with canolis, panini, croissant, cake and some cookies! The staff and owner are very welcoming and kind.

Little gem hidden in a beautiful little side road. We've discovered it after a long day exploring Rome and were instantly caught by the beauty of that place. Reasonable prices, good self made lemonade, tasty Spritz and friendly personnel.

Nice little lunch spot. Chicken salad was good. The eponymous salad was not as good; slightly weird combination with the apple cutting through the avocado. But, not bad at all, and not too expensive for the area. Lovely decoration on the Hugo spritz as well!

My cousin lives in Palermo and brought us here — what a fantastic experience! Everything felt so authentic and delicious. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the servers were wonderful. Before the pasta, they served a dish they called ragu — some kind of flavorful beef — and it was absolutely outstanding. The pasta dishes and desserts were also wonderful. Highly recommend!

Great local espresso bar with fun atmosphere. They serve Illy coffee and both the cappuccino and cafelatte were smooth. They also serve a frozen creamy Illy coffee concoction which was delicious on a hot day.

We had breakfast here, gluten-free options for my celiac kid. The panini was delicious, the yoghurt with fresh fruit and granola was a treat and the cinnamon roll was good. A perfect place for a relaxed breakfast

Looking for an inexpensive breakfast? This is a great option. The ambiance is amazing, staff super friendly and the food is spectacular! Coffee selections are superb as well!

I was recommended to try this place for breakfast and coffee while I was in Rome. Great choice! Staff was friendly. Coffee was great :) lots of places to sit! Was disappointed they didn’t have wifi, or I would have done my meeting there! Great food’

A bit of a queue but definitely worth it! A unique range of flavours and great value for money, 3€ for a double flavour cone! Would have it every day!

This was by FAR the best gelato I had my entire trip! And as someone gluten free, having a super tasty gluten free cone made it all the better. The pistachio and straciatella were super creamy and perfectly flavored. I do wish the pistachio had been a bit stronger, I found it to be a little mild, but it was still incredible. The employees were all very friendly. They always ask if you want whipped cream on top too! Which I did not experience at any other gelato shop. Overall, PLEASE make your way here if you’re staying in Rome, gluten free or not. I wish I could take it back to America with me!

Creative flavors, solid quality—perfect if you’re okay with a quick in-and-out experience! 👍 Stopped by this Fatamorgana location after an evening exploring Trastevere and found out they’re known for their inventive flavors—definitely worth a taste 😋 The shop was crowded and the pace felt rushed, but being able to sample a few flavors while waiting in line made the choice easier (and fun) 🤗 Fatamorgana is a chain with multiple locations across Rome. While I usually prefer smaller, one-off gelaterias, the quality here still stood out. Note: There’s no seating inside, so it’s a true grab-and-go spot. We ended up enjoying ours while wandering the neighborhood before it melted ✨

We visited a couple of times - flavors are great, there's a wide selection and the quality is high. The first time the service was efficient and friendly enough, the second time the woman serving us was surly and really stingy with the amount. For the price, it should be better. Picture is from the first visit - the second time we paid for a bigger size, and got less.

Quintessential authentic Italian gelato with no frills and extremely kind and patient staff.

If it would be possible to give 10 stars I would. The flavors where out of this world! They where SO GOOD! Only negative point is that the portions are relatively small, but the price is also really fair compared to other places… so honestly… it’s still a MUST TRY if you’re in Rome.

They have a massive range of flavours to choose from, including some truly wild ones! We didn't try the habanero flavour, for example, but we DID try the avocado, lime and wine flavour, the cocoa, ricotta and pear flavour, the coffee, chocolate and toasted hazelnut flavour and the gorgonzola flavour. The taste across the board was very nice, however the texture was quite icy and quickly quite watery.

This café in Rome is an absolute gem! The super friendly staff truly made my day with their warm hospitality and genuine kindness. From the moment I walked in, they were welcoming and attentive, creating a lovely and inviting atmosphere. The coffee and food were delicious, but it was the exceptional service that really stood out. It's not just a place to grab a bite—it's a place where you feel at home. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a great café experience in Rome!

Good coffee, very cheap. The place is ideal to start your morning in or to grab a coffee to go. It was close to my Airbnb and I was starting my day there everyday

Very rude staff. My boyfriend and I just came to order two cappuccino and something to eat bzt the staff was incredibly rude towards us. When we ordered she only communicated in rude hand gestures, in a very angry tone and short sentences. But towards the other customers she could speak friendly, fluent English. We cannot help but think it has something to do with our ethnicity- especially after reading multiple reviews describing the exact same thing. The pastries were okay, the coffee wasn‘t. I wouldn‘t go here again to be looked down upon.

Just went there this morning for a light breakfast. Atmosphere is very nice and calm, lots of locals in to grab their morning cup. Normal typical Italian service nothing mad but polite and easy to order. Had the pistachio pain and butter croissant. The coffee was nice and hot, very tasty. We will be back tomorrow.

At Torrefazione Ciamei, indulge in delicious coffees and pastries at affordable prices. With a wide selection of freshly brewed coffees and mouthwatering sweets, it's the perfect spot to satisfy your cravings without breaking the bank. Whether you're in the mood for a rich espresso or a creamy cappuccino paired with a decadent pastry, you'll find something to delight your taste buds. The cozy atmosphere adds to the charm, making it an ideal place to unwind and enjoy a delightful treat. Don't miss out on this hidden gem for an affordable indulgence in the heart of town.

Extremely rude staff. I walked in at about 19:45, not realizing they were closing soon. I was just looking around for the menu when the lady with dark hair, who was cleaning the espresso machine, suddenly started slamming things around. Banging the machine for no reason, knocking over tools… looked more like she was trying to break the machine than clean it. I went up to ask when the shop closes, and she didn’t say a single word. Just held up 8 fingers. I asked again, a bit confused, and she repeated the same gesture, now staring at me like I had just shoplifted something. The energy was so hostile, I just turned around and left. A few moments later, she stormed out of the shop, threw some trash bags to the ground, and muttered something under her breath. She was visibly angry. I get that maybe she had a bad day, but that doesn’t justify acting like this toward customers. I never even got to try their drinks, and honestly? After that kind of treatment, I’m not planning to.

I had morning coffee at four different local espresso bars in Rome during my stay, and this was my favorite. Coffee was the best, and the pistachio croissant was so good. The couple sitting next to me was having orange juice with panini and that also looked good! Wish I had this nearby where I live.

I came across this café about 15 minutes from the Vatican and it turned out to be one of the nicest stops of my trip. I tried the croissant with cream and it was outstanding fresh, soft, and full of flavour, probably one of the best pastries I’ve had in Rome. I also had two coffees, an Americano and a flat white, and both were excellent. The Americano was smooth and rich without being bitter, while the flat white had a creamy texture with a perfect balance of milk and coffee. You can tell they put care into every detail. The café itself is bright and modern, with big windows that bring in natural light and create a relaxed atmosphere. It feels like the kind of place where you can take a break from sightseeing or sit down to work for a while. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, which made the visit even more enjoyable. Even though I only tried one pastry this time, the quality left a strong impression and makes me want to come back and explore more of the menu. This is definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re looking for excellent coffee and pastries near the Vatican, away from the usual tourist places.

Small shop good food. Had pain suisse and it was amazing fluffy and crispy. Had another pastry and all of them were good honestly. I was aiming to have brunch but they close the kitchen for brunch at 12 pm so you have to plan well. Good coffee as well ordered a cold brew and it really surprised me.

Fantastic cafe for coffee and pastries. We came here for a quick breakfast before our Vatican tour due to it's great location 2 blocks down from the Vatican Museum entrance. All the pastries were delicious and service was friendly and efficient. Fantastic coffees with different roasts and blends to choose from. We had the cinnamon roll, chocolate croissant and croissant crema. Crispy texture with just the right amount of filing in each one. Highly recommend coming here if you are into your baked goods!

The pastries were wonderful we tried one filled with plums that was excellent, and the coffee was great too. The service came with a warm smile and was very pleasant. The only downside was that there were no almond or soy milk alternatives. Since I avoid regular milk, this took away a bit from the experience, as it feels only natural to enjoy a coffee guilt-free alongside a pastry. The coffee itself was tasty, but having to settle for something I normally wouldn’t drink slightly overshadowed the overall enjoyment.

I recently stopped by Love – Specialty Croissants, a cute coffee spot known for its croissants. Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to try their famous croissants this time, as the place closes quite early (around 15:30). I ordered an Americano, which was not bad — smooth, simple, and good enough for a quick coffee break. I also tried a pastry with feta cheese and spinach. It was okay, nothing extraordinary, but decent if you want something savory.

wow, amazing caffe. I walked for over an hour befor sunrise to make it in time for a view point and to beat the que (partly a success). But wow , I had the cappuchino which did come a but cold because they were busy, but still well made, smooth and strong. With that I tried the moon love coffee paistry and the fruit danish. It's the first time I ever take 2 paistries in one sitting, but I had to try. Of course I had to fight myself not to finish them. The moon love coffe was my favorite, with an amazing light multi-thin-layerd crust, filled with a creamy not too sweet coffee custered, and topped with a fluffy coffe cream. The second was Deliciouse as well with grapes and vanilla custered.

The most delicious croissants, cappuccino, and excellent service! You can even pick where your espresso beans are from! Ate breakfast there both mornings in Rome. The venue is super cute and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Table service and takeout available. Just a short walk from the Vatican. Highly recommend making time to add this stop to your itinerary if traveling. Would definitely eat here regularly if I lived nearby. They also have special croissants that switch out daily. We tried several kinds both days and LOVED every one of them. Pure perfection!

Best Castroni shop in all Rome, in my opinion. Large and very well stocked. I was looking for Mexican and other Tex-Mex and Latinamerican products and found many of them! From cans of jalapeños, mole paste, dried chilies, flour tortillas, corn tortillas, corn flour (Maseca), etc., they have them! Even Valentina picante sauce, which it’s my favorite! They have it! They also have many American products like BBQ sauce, salad dressing, etc. Plenty of spices and other cooking products from Asia, Germany, etc I did not have a chance to look at everything but will do next time!

Castroni is a true Roman treasure! The variety here is incredible—you can find everything from Italian specialties like coffee, chocolates, and pasta to international products that are hard to track down elsewhere. It’s the perfect place to pick up gourmet gifts or a little something special for yourself. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with shelves full of unique finds that make you want to browse for hours. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable, ready to guide you through their wide selection. Whether you’re after authentic Italian flavors or global treats, Castroni never disappoints. A must-visit in Rome—absolutely five stars!

An extensive and spectacular selection of food and culinary items. Fun just to check things out . We purchased several of the Castroni brand of chocolates as gifts for our friends who said they were fantastic. The store also has an espresso bar which was busy with locals. The business takes great pride in their products as everything is neatly and beautifully displayed. Highly recommend this store to find unique tastes, treats and gifts on your visit to Rome…

They have a lot of delicacies and you can't leave this store without buying anything because they have so many tasty things.

A breeze from the past, filled with history, quality, vibe, and amazing merchandise.

A+++ 10/10 PRICEY but they have it ALL... one-stop-shopping. Nice staff.

Entering here was like another experience. It reminded me of bodegas back in Peru. As back in the days, we received Italian immigrants, they opened bodegas and restaurants besides other businesses, so the authenticity of the store brought back those memories. But I felt like a kid again. There was this magic that made me feel so good. Besides that their prices are good, we got some stuff to bring back home.

We needed a quick bite and we’re so impressed by the delicious selection and quick service. The tea sandwiches that we ordered were not your typical boring flavors (for example we got a curried egg salad with zucchini). Aside from the savory offerings there were beautiful artistically displayed pastries galore as well as bottles of wine for sale and to enjoy there. I highly recommend this spot.

Exclusive Cafe. Located far from the center of Rome but worth the ride. Unique pastries and even the cornetto made in a special (good) way. Kind service (eventhough can be time wise improved). Prices more than standard but regarding the products it's reasonable.

Delicious, well priced, super friendly and welcoming staff, even created seating especially for us! Even though we just ordered sweet pastries, they bought savory along with the drinks. Such an amazing place with lovely pastries and cakes...!!!

Lovely service. Nice coffee and section of pastry 🥐 . I come to visit many time When I stayed in Roma.

This is a must visit place in Rome ahead with the Colosseum and the Pantheon etc. Located a bit far from the center (1hour away walking) with most likely one of the best service you will encounter in Rome despite not all of the staff are speaking fluently english. About the sweets, coffee, sandwiches(afternoon), croissants(in the morning) they are like peaces of heaven which you can taste. I totally reccomend this on your visit of Rome.

This pastry and bar is outstanding! I ended up here by accident and initially stopped here only to have a pastry but after trying the first one I ordered two more, one spritz and with it came a few more savory pastries (offered by the owner). Everything here is fresh, well researched and thought. The combinations of different ingredients and the design created are unique. A very nice surprise - highly recommended!

Staff very rude, expensive and worth it. I do not understand why there is a queue, I would never

I totally understand the reviews. However, you know the prices beforehand, it's all written on the menu, they are high indeed. Bear in mind the location in the square with the amazing view of the fountain, especially at night. They didn't force us to sit down and the staff was friendly and polite.

I dined here with my mother and my daughter — three generations together — and overall we had a pleasant experience. The location is excellent, right in front of the beautiful fountain at Piazza di Largo di Torre Argentina. Sitting outdoors was relaxing and scenic. The food was decent, and the waiter who served us was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. Because of his warm service, I was happy to leave him an extra tip. When paying by card, I was prompted to select an additional “service fee” of 13%, 20%, or more — I chose the lowest option. Later, I checked the Google reviews and realized the restaurant has a relatively low rating, mostly due to this extra charge. To clarify: the 10% service fee included in the bill is what the manager told me goes to the restaurant, while the extra percentage I selected at payment is meant to go directly to the waiter who served us. I truly hope this additional tip reaches him, because his service was deserving. Overall, we enjoyed our meal, but I’d advise other guests to be aware of how the service charges are structured before paying.

Our last night in Rome, rainy and sad. Stopped here for a light dinner and also for a view of the Fountain of the Four Rivers. Given the convenient location right on Piazza Navona, we were happily surprised with the quality of our food: insalate verde, minestrone and lasagna. Our server Julio was attentive and charming. We would go here again.

A must-visit Restaurant in Rome. Pizza with fountain views! We had an unforgettable dining experience at Coffee Domiziano, a charming restaurant and café located right on Piazza Navona with breathtaking views of the Fountain of the Four Rivers. This spot truly captures the heart and soul of Rome — perfect for anyone wanting to enjoy delicious food with an iconic Roman backdrop. From the moment we sat down, we were treated to outstanding service. Our waiter was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us great recommendations based on what we were in the mood for. He made us feel welcome and relaxed, even though the square was bustling with people. We started with a Caprese salad featuring fresh mozzarella di bufala, sweet tomatoes, and fragrant basil — simple, classic, and bursting with flavor. We also ordered the Roman-style artichokes (carciofi alla romana), which were tender, perfectly seasoned, and absolutely delicious. For our main course, we had two authentic Italian pizzas — one traditional Margherita and the other topped with prosciutto and fresh arugula. Both were baked to perfection with thin, crispy crusts and high-quality ingredients. To finish, we were surprised with a complimentary shot of limoncello, which added the perfect sweet, citrusy touch to a wonderful meal. The real magic of Coffee Domiziano, beyond the food and service, is the location. Sitting outside, looking out at Piazza Navona, watching street artists and the energy of Rome all around — it’s an experience that feels straight out of a movie. This is one of the best places to eat near the Pantheon, Campo de’ Fiori, or Castel Sant’Angelo. It’s perfect for a romantic lunch, people-watching, or simply soaking in the magic of the historic center of Rome. If you're searching for a great restaurant with a view in Rome, or a place for Italian pizza, fresh mozzarella, and local Roman specialties, Coffee Domiziano is a must-visit. Whether it’s your first time in the Eternal City or your tenth, this place offers an unforgettable experience you’ll want to return to.

Great place to stop for lunch. Went with a group of 10 and we were immediately seated. Service was fast and friendly from.start to finish. Our group had a number of different pastas and pizzas and all were very good. Suggest sitting outside so that you can see the Piazza Navona and have a great view of the Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi (Fountain of the Four Rivers) by Bernini.

They gave us raw sausage meat which could poison us and told us that it is normal in Italy like that, but its not! Scammers tried to charge us water we didn't order for 6.5e. The health and financial inspection should check this place!!

Sit down at Caffe Domiziano and enjoy La Dolce Vita. This place I found it on my walk in Rome. I wanted an espresso and to rest for a while... Next moment I was enjoying a delicious plate of Italian food. The food was great, the staff was amazing and the atmosphere nice. I stayed here talking with the staff for couple of hours talking about nothing and everything. I really enjoyed it and I will be back next time. I highly recommend it if you want a good time and some delicious food.

What we got here was the comforting aspect of an American breakfast. There was a feeling of coziness about the French toast, and the buffalo chicken wrap. The lemonade could have been sweeter to balance out the tartness. The service was prompt, and I was glad to rest my feet here after a tour of the Vatican. The place is done up in warm shades of yellow and features cozy textures like wood.

I made a delivery order, because I was craving hot cakes… sooo damn good! I asked an American Breakfast for 11€ I think it worth it, came 4 pancakes with syrup, scrambled eggs and bacon…, was such a great decision😋 even if was delivery everything arrived warm… if delivery was great I can’t imagine how good are them at the local, I will became in a constant client 🙌🏼❤️

The service was really good. They provide some good american breakfast type, however the quantity and quality is ok. Overall ok

Come enjoy an amazing brunch/meal with fabulous staff, a great vibe, an authentic American style dining experience but with views of St. Peter's! You cannot go wrong here, and I love the chocolate chip pancakes so much!

We are headed here again today before our tour. We really enjoyed this place delicious breakfast and if you’re a bacon lover from America, you will love it. We had French toast breakfast times 2 my husband and daughter had mimosas. That were delicious. The orange juice is fresh squeezed. The coffee is good. We can’t see anything negative. It was a great experience. Great service, great food.! Clean!

Came here twice while visiting Rome. Love love love. The place is so cute and comfty. The owner is super nice and helpful. We are from the USA, so this place definitely felt like home but better! The maple syrup and french toast was the best I ever tasted! Prices are reasonable and the portions were a good size. My party enjoy their meals as well. Highly recommend this place!

The service and food were absolutely fantastic! The dishes arrived very quickly and were incredibly delicious. The staff was warm, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. The place itself has a great vibe and is very cozy. I highly recommend visiting, and if I ever come back to Rome, I will definitely return!🫶🏻🤩
