Famous for their coffee, I ordered a black tea with lemon and a pistachio cake. Table service is available inside and out. Be aware if you sit outside others may be smoking. There are two tables to sit and a few 'standing room' tables made from snow board on side walk. I received a loose black tea in a reusable tea bag, a lemon (as requested), a cup of hot water and spoon. This tea is light and floral and very much complimented the acidic lemon. Excellent cuppa. That pistachio cake is delicious. The outside crust is toothsome while the inside is soft, moist and sweet. A really welcome mid-morning respite. Service was excellent. Staff speak English. On street parking if you can find it. If in need of a caffeine break, looking for a baked good or lunch time meal I think you'll be satisfied at any of the Caffe Marziali 1922 locations.

I arrived just in time for lunch, the rush hour crowd filed in right after me. That's a great testimony to the quality of the food and drinks. The only objection is to what seemed to be a lack of process and apparent chaos as it was difficult to determine where to order, who to talk to , who was the cashier and who made the food etc..., it drove me impatient but they came through, sat us down and served us a good pizza romano, freshly juiced assortment of fruits. I will probably not go back as there is so much to discover in Rome but I would encourage you to visit as they push out good food.

We wandered in here before dinner in the Trastevere area of Rome looking for a high end cocktail. This place does not disappoint. The decor reminds me of Mardi Gras meets Prohibition... the cocktail menu is unique and the mixologist is simply outstanding. You do need to fill out a slip to "become a member" before they offer you a drink and take your order. While it looks a bit mysterious from the street, this sophisticated tiny cocktail bar is quite something. Definitely a nice place to sip on an elegant mixed adult beverage.

The only thing you need to do once you find the red door, is ring their doorbell and someone will come out and help you. They are a very small bar, so if you have a large party of 4+, I would suggest to make a reservation ahead of time. Their decoration is a mix of Alice in Wonderland with Italian hipster vibe. Everything feels super cool and the atmosphere is very welcoming. The cocktails are delicious and the bartender's english is pretty good, so if you are looking for recommendations he can help you. Another thing that I really like about this place is that people don't smoke inside. There are other speakeasies around town that allow smoking, and I honestly can't be there more than 1 hour. Salute!

We were recently in Rome for Jubilee. We had a lovely stay at the iQ Hotel. This restaurant is on…read morethe rooftop. We initially went in for a cocktail, but after sitting for a bit and seeing the plates go back and forth, we asked if it was possible to get a table. The bartender, who was incredibly friendly motioned to the young lady at the front and inquired. She immediately said "of course" and took us to lovely table. I opted for the Nebbiolo braised beef cheek and mashed potatoes and my partner ordered the Veal ossobuco in gremolada with battered carrots. Both dishes were absolutely delicious and I now wish I had taken a picture. Our server recommended a bottle of wine which was perfectly paired with our meals. The next day, we decided to return. Though it was crowded, they sat us immediately. I ordered the Sliced Danish beef fillet, served with demi-glace and seasonal vegetables and my partner ordered the Golden tuna tataki, mixed vegetables with soy and grapefruit gel. Again, both dishes absolutely mouth watering. We took turns taking bites off of each others plates. When dinner was complete, we decided to have a cocktail on the roof patio. I have to say, the staff is not only friendly, professional and attentive, but they really pay attention to what's going on. Three gentlemen sat next to us on the outside railing and began to smoke. I'm highly allergic and our server noticed me putting my finger to my nose many times. She came out to the patio, tapped me on the shoulder and said "your table is ready, come with me". I was about to remind her we had just dined when she put her finger to her lips in the "shhh" position. She sat us at a lovely inside table by the window of the patio and told us "now you can enjoy your cocktail without smoke". Now THAT'S service. I can't wait to return to the iQ Hotel and this restaurant. What a wonderful experience.

We waited at the bar for about an hour and we talked to the friendly bartender until we had a table ready. He was very friendly and super helpful. We asked him for his recommendation of what food items we should get and he recommended the rabbit pasta and the beef cheek stew. We ended up ordering both. Hubby had the rabbit dish while I had the beef cheek stew and both were amazing! I loved my dish more than hubby's and he loved his more than mine. The beef was melt in your mouth tender. I had a bite and felt like I was home! The whole meal felt like it was made with love. I enjoyed every bite of it, and I'm still dreaming about it to this day! The bartender also recommended wine paring which was perfect for each dish. If you're into trying something new, definitely give those 2 dishes a try. They are so worth it. I wish I took pictures because presentation was nice too. I can't recommend this place enough!

My partner and I ordered the American Classic and it did not disappoint! Very juicy medium rare burger with generous condiments and toppings. The bun was much bigger than the burger itself and very sesame seed-y so I did not eat quite all of it, but eaten with the rest of the burger it was delicious. The "bacon" on it is not like American bacon, so keep that in mind when ordering. It is more like cooked, tough ham. My partner also ordered the Peach Dream cocktail, which was decidedly not peach, but still very good and very strong. We loved the decor and writing on the walls, the vibe is very alternative.
