The whole place has that cozy, neighborhood bakery feel the second you walk in. Super warm, inviting, and just a really good energy overall.

E la signora subito mi ha detto che dovevo andare in questa pasticceria affianco al supermercato. Siamo arrivati al posto giusto nel momento giusto con dei cornetti giusti. L'impasto é molto delicato e fuori é un po' croccantino giusto poco poco ma abbastanza per far giocare un po' ai denti. Ho preso quello alla Nutella ed era buonissimo, i miei hanno preso al pistacchio e pure quello alla crema di pistacchio era buonissimo ma io scelgo sempre Nutella ovviamente. Gentilissime ragazze che lavorano qui e ottimo caffè. Pochi tavoli dentro e alcuni tavoli fuori dove puoi sederti e fare due chiacchierate e pettegolare un po'. Siamo contenti di aver trovato questo posto mentre camminavamo nella zona del nostro Airbnb.

One of the places that I miss dearly is the touristy restaurant and bars around the City of Rome, specifically in the Vatican area. I found this place as it was on my Yelp List and it was a MUST. Open 24/7, this place is known for the great Gelato and their pastries! Many people come here to have a quick coffee and a bite to eat. My friends and I came here and tried some of their delicious breakfast sandwiches while my friends also tried some of their coffee. We were able to sit, and people watch as we enjoyed our food. They have tons of delicious pastries to choose from and one can get extremely excited just looking at what they have to offer. We were not disappointed by the food and thought it was delicious! The customer service was exceptional and welcoming, and the restaurant was clean. I would recommend this place to stop and get you some breakfast and coffee, you will not be disappointed!

They had a Hugo Boss collab, I think Boss bought out the restaurant recently. The street was lovely with some great shops to admire while seated (of course had to visit the shops after the meal). The food wasn't absolutely amazing but it was still delicious, great pizza, quality ingredients, it was very relaxing. I just wish the service was better, it's like they had a bunch of new staff that were young and didn't know what they were doing. We were extremely polite but they were constantly forgetting stuff we ordered or asked for and there were some items we said forget it, it's too late, but there were some things that we needed to be corrected -we ordered a large bottle of sparkling water, they instead brought a large bottle of still water and poorer it for us and we said that's not what we ordered. I ordered a cocktail and that didn't arrive until I asked 3 times for it (my fiancé already finished his first drink). I asked for ice and lemon with the water and they brought ice but no lemon, etc. they were just extremely forgetful and didn't care when they messed up. For the service alone I knocked off 2 stars. I hope everyone else has a better experience with service here.

In the past, I knew of Gelateria Navona, just a few doors up from the actual piazza, and that was…read moremy go-to place for gelato in Rome. Expecting it to be there one year, I walked over to Piazza Navona and Gelateria Navona had evidently closed. I would then get gelato here and there. I then learned that Giolitti is a long standing gelateria and it's also in the historic center. I filed the name away in my head. Then, one day, I happened to walk right in front of it without even looking for it, so I went in. Giolitti is popular and it can be crowded. I'm going to say that I waited about 10 to 15 minutes. You pay at a counter first, deciding on what you want and how much of it, such as scoops and whether it will be in a cup or a cone. Once up at the counter, they don't rush you, which surprised me. I don't take that much time since I don't experiment much, but I still appreciate the courtesy. The price is roughly what everyone else in the historic center is charging. I always opt for the gelato it in a cup so you can "control" the dripping. The gelato - a mix of dark chocolate and two citrus flavors - was "molto buono." That said, just because it's so popular, I'm not going to downgrade Giolitti for it and complain about the crowds. You downgrade gourmet donut places in the U.S. where their fame has gone to their heads. There is also a spacious salon with nicer decor in which you can eat inside. At this point, Giolitti is really the only gelateria in Rome whose name I remember. I would gladly go back and I recommend it.
