The Granita with cream and the Caffe di creama are the signature drinks and trying them shows why! The Granita is basically frozen coffee with cream above and below, while the Caffe de Crema is a coffee frostee - both delicious, the crema was unreal good! Sweet, smooth and just plain delicious. The line starts inside, is often long, but move quick. We know this because we went twice in a couple hour. You order, pay and pick up at another counter. The Granita and Crema are at the far counter- just take your receipt and give it to the guys working behind the counter. It's a very quaint little Italian spot with limited seating and a ton of charm. It feels older than it probably is and they've got plenty of tea, coffee and other accoutrements to grab while there. Go here. It's worth the trip!

If you're looking for a classic Roman coffee experience, La Casa del Caffè Tazza d'Oro is…read moredefinitely one to add to your list. Located just steps from the Pantheon in Piazza della Rotonda, this historic coffee bar has been a Roman institution since 1946 and is especially known for its coffee, which has helped make it one of the city's most famous cafés. The line was pretty long when we arrived, but it moved surprisingly quickly. You can enjoy your coffee and pastries inside while standing at the counter, or, if you're lucky, grab one of the few seats available inside. There's also outdoor seating, but keep in mind that sitting outside comes with a separate--and if I remember correctly, significantly higher--service charge. I'll be honest--I'm pretty sure I ordered the wrong thing. I ended up with what was essentially a frosty coffee ice cream, which is not what I was going for, lol. I was supposed to order the Granita di caffè con panna, which is their signature. It's a coffee granita--essentially finely shaved/frozen coffee--topped with whipped cream. Instead of whipped cream, I accidentally told my Italian nephew I wanted the coffee with ice cream, whoops. I also ordered a maritozzo, which I was absolutely on a mission to try while in Rome. The maritozzo is a traditional Roman sweet bun filled generously with whipped cream, and it did not disappoint. I was in a bit of a rush, so I didn't have time to enjoy my maritozzo there. I packed it up and ate it later that evening, and it was still delicious. I've also essentially given up coffee completely, so I only had a few bites and sips of my coffee ice cream, but what I tried was really good. The menu is fairly large and varied, and it can feel a little overwhelming when you're standing at the counter with a line behind you. I'd recommend taking a look at the menu ahead of time if you can so you have an idea of what you want before you get up to order. Overall, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. Tazza d'Oro is an institution, the location is hard to beat, and there's something fun about experiencing one of Rome's longtime coffee traditions--even if you accidentally order the wrong thing like I did!

Cristiano is a local classic, you mention the name, people will know what you're talking about,…read moreregardless of whether they're regulars or not. Cristiano is a "pasticceria", not a cafe, so they duly take their lunch break, and open at a leisurely 8am. This is not to say their coffee is no good, they simply offer much more and they produce everything in-house. Depending on the season, you might want to try their gelato, which always comes in generous portions. I wouldn't call it a gourmet option, they don't tout exotic names or fancy food origins (Bronte pistachios anyone?), they just make good gelato, and with fresh ingredients. No strawberries available? Well, no strawberry gelato, and I like it that way. Personal favorites are "Bacio bianco" (with delicious whole hazelnuts) and Kinder (vanilla + rich chocolate), but debating flavor preferences is an exercise in futility. I enjoy the cakes, and while not everything is top notch, you have some memorable winners there. The "torta al limone" (dough, custard and pine nuts) is to die for, especially in its mignon version, which you might be tempted to savor alongside a cappuccino. That's a hell of a breakfast combo, you won't be craving food for a while. I also like the tea pastries, especially the "occhio di bue" (round dough disc with jam in the middle). And they're always fresh, come in on a Monday morning, there's nothing on display, and they start filling the shelves as the products are ready. The outdoor seating area is nice, but could be tidier, and it gets busy at times. Most people order to go, bringing a cake or a tray of sweets home, but I enjoy the place even for just a cappuccino with friends. The price point is just right, and some items might even be a bargain vs. similar options elsewhere. And since they accept any credit card, order away, you won't be disappointed.
