TLDR: don't bother to come if you are actually an American - give up on getting your coffee and toast and just have a cornetto and espresso. I can see this being popular w/ European students and tourists who've seen pancakes and American bacon on TV and want to try the "exotic" American breakfast. Americans are advised in the strongest sense to STAY AWAY. NOT WORTH YOUR TIME. I've just spent 3 weeks in Italy (Milan, Lakes, Florence, Tuscanny, Amalfi, and Rome) and this is the only review I feel compelled to write from how bad it is. Location - TERRIBLE. They have 3 or 4 small tiny tables on the sidewalk which are immediately taken by groups of two or more. Inside there are two additional small tables in the mid level landing area, each w/ 2 seats. You must go down a level to the tiny counter to order. The location has an air conditioner but they don't use it. They just have the one door open at the top of the steps and there are no windows since part of it is under street level. As a result it's easily 90F inside and no one working there seems to care. Service - not really existent. I saw 3 or 4 employees behind the counter in the tiny corner and their jobs consisted of taking orders and making drinks. When your food is ready they yell your name and you go and get your food. I ordered two breakfasts and was handed 1 set of silver ware ... I asked for a second set and the lady seemed annoyed. Food - I would liken it to the same quality of food you would see at a buffet on a cruise ship or a Caribbean all inclusive resort. They have all the staples but they didn't grow up eating it and definitely don't taste or eat the food so everything is just "off" and very disappointing. I had the American Breakfast which was scrambled eggs, silver dollar pancakes and bacon. The eggs were way too over done (complete opposite of runny eggs you see in Italy) and the pancakes tasted like day old McDonald's pancakes... with less flavor. The bacon was surprisingly good. Coffee was decent too. After this long rant of a review it's up to you but I would say the terrible location, crappy service, and bland food is not worth wasting your euro or limited time in Italy. Go get some McDonalds breakfast and save 60% of the price if you're really homesick. read more

Great spot and the staff is super sweet! Recommend eating on the patio mid day and enjoy the breeze read more

If you are craving a big American breakfast then this is your stop. Delicious food, fresh pressed orange juice, wonderful coffee, and a super friendly staff. The seating is very limited and can only seat around 11 people at a time inside, so expect a wait. We waited for the larger table and we're provided drinks while we stood there and the owner chatted with us and remembered all of our names along with the names of all the other guests. She even remembered people walking in from days ago, a super friendly and cozy feeling. The food was on point and we all scarfed down our "American breakfast" (pancakes) and "French breakfast" (French toast). I would come back in a heart beat, but maybe on a non rainy day so we could utilize one of the small outside tables. read more

My boyfriend and I traveled to Paris, Venice and Rome over the New Year (2019). By the time we got to Rome I was completely sick of eating croissants, drinking coffee I didn't like and trying disgusting bacon (how is it even possible to say disgusting and bacon in the same sentence? In Europe, they use the stomach lining or the inside of the cheek from a pig for bacon). After spending over an hour looking for a place in Rome to get a real American/English breakfast I found Homebaked. If you're looking for orange juice, pancakes, eggs and real bacon this is your spot. I got there when the place opened and was able to grab a table and was quickly served my food. I would highly recommend checking this place out if you're ever in Rome. The menu had a variety of items not only breakfast, that I wished I could have tried. Homebaked, you get all 5 of my stars! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE. It's a little piece of home in Roma. The staff is friendly and speak English! If you ever come here, you must try the "Olga" which is a French roast sandwich with egg and bacon inside finished with some drizzled maple syrup. It's delicious! Get a side of OJ and you'll have your typical American breakfast. Since "colazione" (breakfast) out here consists of coffee and a bread, you must come here to fully satisfy your hunger! P.S. I couldn't wait to eat it and forgot to take a decent photo. That's how good it is! read more

After 7 days in Italy, my family and I craved an American breakfast so incredibly badly. This place was a haven for us!!!! Eggs, pancakes, waffles, French toast, freshly squeezed orange juice... all at a very reasonable cost. The owner is from the states and was so friendly and made us feel right at home! Our only wish was that we didn't discover this gem of a place sooner on our trip- we would've been there everyday! read more

It was such a delight finding out this place existed! Obviously Italy is...Italian, so you're going to get food that is..Italian! Which is amazing. But I was there three months and you're bound to get homesick. So this place was a godsend! The food is amazing! You can basically order whatever you want. They'll make it for you as long as they have the ingredients. Plus they have "The Utopia," which is just a plate of bacon, for only €3 And their milkshakes are amazing too! But everything is amazing, really. It's usually very packed, because there's an American college nearby. The students are annoying and they talk really loud about really shallow and annoying things. So just go in the morning before they actually wake up. But the couple who owns the place is fantastic! Warm and friendly. They make you feel so welcome. read more

I'm used to a "Grand Slam" American brrakfast.... eggs, bacon and pancakes, something Italian Cafes and/or restaurants do not offer. So as you can imagine, after a few days of only having an espresso and a measly croissant I was aching for a good old American Breakfast and Home Baked had just that. I don't remember the Owner's name but he was a pretty cool guy from New York! Not only was the food great but it was nice to support a fellow American and his restaurant. read more

IF YOU MISS AMERICAN BREAKFAST THIS IS IT. I've been traveling/living in Europe for 8 months and the change in its breakfast game really takes a toll on you, especially if you find yourself without a kitchen. We were recommended to this place by our Airbnb host and it was one of the most amazing breakfasts I have had in Europe. I asked for my bacon extra crispy and it was made perfectly. The cups of coffee really hit home too. Fried eggs, bagels, chocolate chip pancakes.. you name it. The owner was also very personal and kind. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. read more

Great American breakfast. Bacon, French toast, waffles, scrambled eggs, etc. oj is blood orange juice like a mix between orange and grapefruit juice, but very good. Syrup is sweet perfect over French toast. Not a long wait. Place is small, but worth it. read more

Amazing! Great breakfast and customer service. It really feels like your having breakfast at your parents/Nanas home. Great American food in ROME! read more

Great place. After a week of being here, we discovered this place. I wish we found it 7 days earlier. Best breakfast we had in Italy. Thank you for the great experience. read more

The food was wonderful and the place was so cute. They have so many great options for food that I had a hard time deciding! I got the buffalo chicken wrap and my husband got the chicken wrap along with two Iced lattes. All of it was great. The owner (I think) was so friendly and nice. He made some hilarious jokes and was very welcoming. Overall it felt like having breakfast at home but better! read more

Homebaked is a must for any homesick American. The locale is small so be sure to get there when the nearby study abroad students are still in class. The Canadian owner, Jesse, and his Italian wife are such pleasant people. They make it feel like you're coming home whenever you enter their restaurant. Although they are more known for their brunch menu (I always get the "American Breakfast" of bacon, scrambled eggs, and pancakes with REAL Canadian maple syrup) they Also have good sandwiches, such as BBQ chicken that would make any american's mouth water. They also offer free coffee refills, an unusual treat in italy. Their delectable deserts like pies and brownies displayed on the counter are always hard to resisit. Homebaked is a very nice change of pace for whoever wants a taste of North America in the middle of Rome. It is also a good place to meet other expats and get a taste of home. read more

Homebaked is phenomenal. My friend and I are from California and have been traveling Europe for the summer craving an American breakfast. All I have to say is; wow, not only did the food hit home and taste fantastic, Jesse, one of the owners, was helpful, kind, and a tremendously affable. I would highly recommend you go! Thanks for the love, Jesse!!! read more

Stopped in because after all the Italian breakfast dishes we've eaten, we were looking for something similar to home. Great American Breakfast Spot. Very quaint. Good Quality Food. French Toast is better than the pancakes. Breakfast bagel was excellent. Would definitely return. read more

Amazing amazing getaway from home!! Came here after a boozy boozy night during our trip to Rome. We knew the only thing that cures a hangover is bacon, eggs and pancakes! Sooo glad we came here! Not only did we feel right back in at home, the FOOD WAS AMAZING AND FAST!!! If you are in need of a quick trip back home, don't hesitant to come to homebaked! And the customer service is A one as well ;-) read more

I live in Rome now as a student and I love the place takes me back home. Super kind staff with a good story and truly takes me back to Delaware. Good food if you are missing American breakfast highly suggest the pancakes and eggs (I'm vegetarian but I'm sure the bacon is delicious). It is affordable and a beautiful location as well! Hope to see you there also! read more

Very cool hole in the wall. The wife wanted an American breakfast so we made a $20 cab ride 2.2 miles and found this very small gem with pancakes, eggs and bacon. Had a great walk to the river down hill after our dining experience. read more

Amazing breakfast!!! I've been in Europe for 3 weeks and sometimes you get tired of the traditional European breakfast, so I just had desire for an American breakfast. I researched places that offered American breakfast and I loved that this place said "you will find nothing Italian here". They delivered. I ordered a simple waffle and eggs and it fulfilled everything. Met the owner who's from the states. It was delicious. Highly recommend read more

Great spot for an American traveler looking for a taste of home. Good food, fair prices, good service

Walked in to the most helpful and cheerful group of people. Meeting one of the professors from the local university was a God sent! She's from Philadelphia! Any how back to the review! Ordered two Americana breakfasts and a Thanksgiving lunch! Jesse, the owner, a Buffalo native was kind and super nice to the first timers! A watering hole for the local university students he knows each by name. And their usual requests. Small and intimate place you're better off eating outside or simply another to go. Next trip back to Rome this will definitely be a stop. Enjoyed a little taste of home during our week stay in Rome. read more

Very nice staff and great American style breakfast. Living in Europe I miss it so much. The food hit the spot

Had breakfast while visiting Rome. Many near by college students and some locals. Food was good. They had American breakfast. The only thing is that its really tiny. Seating for only about 10 people. Still worth the trip. read more

If you want a true American breakfast in Rome this is the only place to go. We visited a bunch of different places that said American breakfast but didn't have it. This place is right by the American University here and a great change of pace. Everything from bacon cheeseburgers, peanut butter and jelly, to an all American breakfast with eggs, bacon, and pancakes. The owner is great and originally from Buffalo in the States. You'll see a bunch of American students coming in to dine. If you want a real change of pace from Italian then come dine here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Most of the breakfast places here only serve pastries and coffee, so this was a nice find! From hot chocolate with marshmallows to eggs with bacon and waffles, you'll find it here. My family and I were joking around that we wanted an IHOP, and this is even better! The owner is also very amicable and made us feel comfortable and at home. If we're ever back in Rome, we'll definitely be back here. read more
