    Espresso and Fruit delicacy
    Blake H.

    We made a quick stop at Antico Caffe Greco! The service was very good and the espresso was also a treat. It seemed as if this place was very popular with visitors. While we didn't try any food, our experience was great.

    So, this is a cafe that opened in 1760 and quickly became the "it" spot for many historic people including Hans Christian Andersen, Mark Twain, and Casanova. Therefore, the history of this place is very cool and interesting. However, the prices are wildly overpriced and there was a lack of mouthwatering pastries to choose from which was underwhelming. I think we paid 15 euros for 2 espressos which is absolute insanity! We were used to paying 1-2.50 for espressos so this place seemed to have a bit of price gauging going on since they're historic. I mean it was a cool experience but it wouldn't have made a difference if we skipped it.

    Meh. Having been to this place over the years, it's still just overpriced and average compared to the other cafes in Rome. That said, it's a great meeting place for people visiting the city and it's literally within 50 feet of the Spanish steps. If you don't mind overpaying for coffee or an Aperol Spritz, give this place a try. From a historical perspective it's worth trying at least once...

    It's good to live expensive, you know it. Want to dine like Gaga? You need to visit Café Greco! We dined here after finding out this is from the exact scene lady gaga comes out of from House of Gucci movie we got cappuccino freedo's and cannolis, both which were delicious! Happy to say this didn't disappoint and we were happy to get a spot indoors! The service was very quick!

    I loved this place. Sure, it was expensive--but the ambiance was worth it. Like being in a Merchant Ivory film.

    Campari Spritz and snacks for Apertivo
    Maria F.

    Walking distance from the Spanish Steps is this storied caffe. Our timing was perfect and we were able to experience Apertivo hour. Think of it as Italian happy hour but much more. You get snacks is some sort with your cocktail. Apertivo is suppose to get your digestive juices floating before dinner. A pre-dinner snack. We thoroughly enjoyed the snacks. Those olives! Mmm. The place is charming. The seating vignettes harken back to older times. The art on the walls beckon you to sit, enjoy and appreciate.

    One of the oldest bars in Rome turned into coffee cafe establishment. To the worldly, impatient, hangry tourists, be patient with the staff; italian culture is super laid back. It may take a minute to get seated, then another minute for the menus. You'll have to flag down the waiter to place your order. But once you do, you won't regret it! As coffee culture goes, Antico Caffe Greco has the 2nd best coffee in Rome (my humble opinion of the best going to Sant Eustachio). Chocolatey flavors melding into one with the caffeine that is never burnt. My mouth waters still at the thought of their berries cheesecake- whose consistency was light, fluffy with the perfect amount of tart acidity in their berry topped syrup. Worth the stop and honestly in heat of the summer, Antico Caffe Greco's cool, calm interior does wonders to freshen you up a bit.

    When in Rome - do it like they have for a long-time. Really great Irish Coffee, Caps were awesome and the Hot Chocolate is really off the charts. You can also break bread with a literary master!

    Romeo & Juliet tea, salmon toast, prosciutto toast

    Ambiance was pretty. The drinks were good. Food options were ok. Service was a bit slow. We were really just there for the history, to sit where the old literary icons once sat.

    Fruit Flan - custard was so smooth
    Joanne V.

    For those who knows me, I have a crazy sweet tooth. I'm so ELATED to find a cafe with incredibly delicious cakes and pastries. This cafe is very close to the Spanish Steps. We came here twice during our 3 days visit in Rome. They have seating and standing options. I would not recommend the seating option because the prices are three times more than the standing option and also service was slow. Order their PISTACHIO CAKE and the PISTACHIO CANNOLI. You absolutely cannot get this anywhere in Canada. We ordered a whole bunch of random pastries and everything were delectable! No complaints with the food. Cakes were moist and not overly sweet. So, if you need a break from walking, order at the cashier and bring your receipt to the bar, where they make your drinks. If you like cappuccino, you can even get it cold. Happy Eating!

    Best coffee selection and Italian pastries. Known for its historic ties, this cafe offers best experience in terms of art, history, food, service and fine ambiance.

    Loved it here during my trip to Rome. It was a nice place to stop when it was 100° with some classic Italian treats and drinks. The servers were great and very understanding of my inability to speak Italian. They didn't rush me out or make me unwelcome. I loved my experience and everything I tried.

    A historic coffee and pastry location in the heart of Rome. A bit pricey and crowded with tourists but worth a visit.

Only real I don't give 5 stars, well I'll explain later. 1st day we walked up super early and it was bustling with business and workers. We were greeted to sit outside and a waiter came to help us with coffee and food. The service was outstanding and the food was superb! We loved it so much we knew to come 2nd day, grab coffee and breakfast and sandwiches for later as we toured Rome. #greatidea We come again, 3rd day early and everything was perfect--breakfast, coffee, to go sandwiches and the service. We came day 4 a bit later in the day after a big tour event and it was very different. Server didn't want us sitting inside. Server was rude about my younger family member basically falling asleep on the table from the heat and miles of touring. Mind you, she is a little girl and very exhausted from the beauty of Rome touring all day--actually all week in this crazy heat. Anyway, we order drinks, food and that's it. Server seemed to hate us. I won't hold that against the amazing proper who helped us every day the week we were visiting. We really did like this place. Just not that guy I guess. Love the food, the quality and 99% of the service.
