Places(8)

Sant'Eustachio il Caffè

Rome's most legendary espresso bar since 1938 — the gran caffè is served pre-sweetened and utterly unlike anything else

Tazza d'Oro

Steps from the Pantheon, famous for its frozen granita di caffè con panna in summer and flawless espresso year-round

Roscioli Caffè

From the family behind Rome's best deli, a precise and modern espresso bar that locals queue for every morning

Sciascia Caffè

A Prati neighbourhood institution since 1919, with marble counters and a chocolatey house espresso blend

Bar San Calisto

The archetypal Trastevere bar — cheap, chaotic, and beloved by students and old Romans in equal measure

Caffè Borghetti

A grand Via Veneto institution with Belle Époque interiors and the most theatrical cappuccino in the city

Caffè Greco

Rome's oldest cafe, open since 1760 — Keats, Goethe, and Casanova all drank here, and the rooms are unchanged

Black Market Specialty Coffee

Rome's best third-wave coffee shop, with rotating single-origins and a calm vibe far from the tourist chaos
