These were fried yeast dough puffs covered in granulated sugar and with a squirt of filling in the top middle of the dough. It's not exactly a donut by American standards, but it's not far off. We tried the chocolate and the pistachio flavor filled ones, though they had a vanilla cream flavor and one or two others. The flavored fillings were almost like a wet pudding consistency and the sugar on the outside of the dough gave it it's sweetness. Bottom line: Glad I tried Krapfen! If for no other reason then it's fun to say.

The coffee and pastries were very good, and it's an easy place to stop whether you want a quick drink, a bite to eat, or something to take away.

Not particularly a gourmet stop, but hey, what do you expect at the airport? Besides, Fiumicino is huge and full of coffee shops and food kiosks, one can easily find whatever their soul desires. On to the next one!

The waiter could've cared less whether we were there or not. Arrogant isn't even strong enough word. Felt sorry for the other staff because he berated them when the table left.

In fact, I felt lucky to be able to find a spot at the bar. People come and go, they sip their espressos in swift gulps, chow down their pastries. "Hmm, I should hurry up," I thought. In mid-bite, the barista refills my cappuccino. I smile a "grazie." What a nice guy. He is in constant movement, making beverages and plating pastries for the morning rush. Yet, the cordiality and attentiveness were not sacrificed.

Sure enough, it was a Gelateria. We went into the tiny shop, barely enough room for a few customers, and got a tasting each of a couple of flavors. I settled on my go to flavors of lemon and banana, which in account of them bring fruit, all gelaterias have as sorbets. My husband got his two usuals, pistachio and caramel, both gelatos. While I wouldn't write home about either the quality of the sorbets or about the customer service, both aspects are solid, and I have nothing to complain about. The prices are competitive with everyone else in the area.
