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. Check out their history on their website.

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.

The croissant with pistachio cream was amazing! The chicken panini with fresh mozzarella was scrumptious and the cheese was dripping wet. The ambiance is cozy and popular among locals.

The best part of this cafe however, is the friendly staff. By my third time visiting this cafe the barista had memorized my order and immediately started preparing it when I walked in. The seats outside the cafe provide a perfect place to unironically smoke a cigarette while sipping Italian coffee and waxing poetry over our tortured existence. Caffe balduina is the best cafe on planet earth and if I could, I would take a private jet and fly from California to Rome every morning to get coffee here.

A Cookie Dipped in the Same Fresh Liquid Chocolate Standing Straight Up and Down in the Whipped Cream All of this was just as amazing as it sounds here. * * * Steve McQueen was hiding in the Chocolate that was lining the inside of the cone. As I was nearly passed out in bliss over Blood Orange Ricotta Orange Peel Chocolate and Whipped Cream The Chocolate in the Cone decided to make the Great Escape. It tunneled its way to the bottom of the cone and all of the chocolate prisoners made a mad escape through the very end of the cone. My shirt and my jeans were completely covered with large pools of chocolate from navel to knee. * * * Wearing chocolate like that is a Badge of Honor. It shows you have really been there. They sell clothes in Italy if it really comes to that. * * * For gelato like that, you should be ready to do Anything !

The texture was incredibly creamy & smooth, and the flavors had this rich, honest depth that made each bite feel a bit special.
