Of course, compared to regular American eggs, these eggs are absolutely delicious! A very rich flavor. They had a large variety of delicious pastries of course.

This was just down the street and after walking past a few questionable looking bars, we thought this was a good stop. Their pastries were delicious! The espresso and cappuccinos both hit the spot. We probably got charged more than locals for sitting but at €12 for two cappuccinos and two chocolate pastries, I felt like we got what we paid for.

I like Gran Caffe Roma. However, it's not your typical "Roma" experience. So, just know that…read more This café is located on a beautiful, canopied street with some really good hotels and a few blocks down from the American Embassy. I was staying at The Grand Hotel Palace down the street. (By the way... great hotel) I wanted a simple lunch, outside, with standard food fare, within walking distance of my hotel, that I could pay for with my Visa. Whaaa laaa.... Gran Caffe Roma. This café caters to an American crowd. The portions are larger than other cafes. We shared a pizza and Caesar Salad. Delicious. Good varieties of wine. Spaghetti looked amazing as well as the Caprese Salad. Strawberry Gelato was FANTASTIC. Waiter was overrun but as sweet as could be. I don't know if the tip was included in the bill, like many places in Europe but we tipped separately because he really did his best while catering to so many tourists.

We can handle a bit of walking and find somewhere close and local for coffee and perhaps brunch later. After all, this is Rome, right? Wandering through the Villa Borghese gardens for 2 hours, there's no cafe, trattoria, or even a vending machine. 2 cranky pre-teens and 2 grouchy parents. I'm tempted to eat the purslane growing on the sidewalk. Need. Coffee. Sustenance. Now. Voila. We almost walked past Café Lembo. Friendly staff. Offered us iced water. Good cups of coffee. Delicious and nutritious, if not simple, sandwiches. Ahhh. Thank you, Café Lembo. We'll be back. If we wander stupidly hungry through the Villa again.

Had lunch at La Terrazza on a sunny crispy afternoon during the workweek…read more I already have reviews for most places I frequent here in Aurelia. It seems as though I had to expand on this one. Typical Italian meal, meat and pasta, lots of carbs, gnocchi-calzone-panini-macaroni, plus tons of desserts. Desserts at La Terrazza are really good. La Terrazza offers a rooftop terrace seating with gorgeous views of the country side. This is the type of place in the business park, within walking distance from Mariott, where many offices are located. People go to lunch here, it's a sort of a cafeteria style setting in terms of the presentation of food. Not your typical trattoria style. Great assortment of antipasti (cold appetizers), including sautéed veggies, artichokes, eggplant, roasted zucchini, red bell papers, carpaccio, prosciutto, soppressata, fresh mozzarella nuggets drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Beef stew, meat loaf, steamed seasoned potatoes, pasta shells, sautéed green beans, octopus with macaroni. I called them that, they may have proper Italian names attached, I just didn't care to go deep today, nor did I have time for that. Fabulous selection of pastries and desserts downstairs, including Sfogliatelle, Sanguinaccio dolce, Semifreddo, Zeppole, Canoli, Panna Cotta, Tartufo, and fruit compote. Advertised pizzas include the following: Pizza con Forno a Legna, anche Integrale - pizzas cooked in the wood burning oven, and also plate combos (complete meal): Ortolana - garden veggie pizza Margherita - traditional wood fired oven pizza Patate - Pizza di Patate with potatoes Boscaiola (Mozzarella, Funghi, Salsiccia) - mozzarella cheese, mushrooms, sausage Amatriciana (Pomodoro, Guanciale, Pecorino) - tomatoes, cured meat from pork cheeks, pecorino cheese
