    My husband and I had gotten a sandwich from this place to take back to our hotel for a snack. It was the BEST sandwich we had in Rome. The bread was amazing and the cheese and salami were to die for.

    Found this hidden gem just outside of Piazza Navona. The young lady behind the counter (spoke perfect English) was so friendly and helpful. She took the time to cheerfully explain what was inside the pastries and offered suggestions to try. We would have gone back just to see her again, she made our day! The pastries though! Come hungry. Plan on eating way too much. The scent alone will make you want to taste everything. Look at what they have. We tried their sugared donut (ciambella), a jam filled linzer tart and a sfoglie romane (pastry dough/ like phyllo, filled with an incredible chocolate ganache-like cream). We are headed back tomorrow, even though it's a 20-minute walk and we pass eight other pasticcerias to get there. Five of six two-person tables inside. They also have coffee, wine, beer, pinse and panini.

    Lots of pizza and baked goods!

    After our vespa tour around the city, we ended it by the crazy Piazza Navona near Campo di Fiori. The main Campo area was way too congested with people and trash around the area. Walking along the side street, we found this bakery which was very quiet and well stocked with sweets, pizza, sandwiches, wine, beer, candy, etc. There are a few tables to dine inside and we enjoyed a snack of some pizza with wine. Only note was there there were so many baked goods that there is not any way that volume is produced daily. Evidence of that is that some of the goods were looking a bit aged so choose your items carefully.

    Biscotti I brought home in my suitcase!

    Very friendly people and delicious treats! They speak a little English, enough to understand what to buy.

    May be pretty, but tasted bad

    Went here on a rainy Tuesday to pick up some pastries. Got the cherry tart, pistachio tart, and pistachio sponge cake. They looked so delicious but unfortunately they tasted terrible. The tarts were both stale and hard, with the filling tasting artificial and preservative-like. It was pure sugar and way too sweet. The pistachio sponge cake was alright but had an interesting herbal liqueur in it that took away from the flavor. However, this all came out to €16 which is quite expensive compared to other bakeries in the area. When paying, we pulled out a card given it was a decent sum and the cashier said cash. We fumbled for some cash and then the cashier pulls out a card machine and we were like oh okay and then he quickly says he was mistaken and put the machine away and said "cash". Not a good experience overall.

    After walking by the shop windows full of goodies two or three times we knew we had to stop in. There were so many delicious things to try but we picked out a few good looking pastries and brought them back to our hotel room to eat. Oh my gosh were they good! I would definitely recommend Il Fornaio if you're in the city and I will absolutely stop by again my next time in Rome! Also, the man behind the counter (the owner maybe) was extremely sweet. We loved how happy he seemed! That's always nice :)

    The view of their offerings

    Awesome food. Friendly staff. I try to come back here every time in Rome. The kids said better than Paris

    This is a delightful pastry and deli shop right off the Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, near the Campo di Fiore. You can't miss it; it has an enormous mortadella in the doorway. They offer a wide assortment of pastries, cookies, sandwiches and breads. The bakery has been in the same spot since 1970. The price you pay is based on the weight of your order. We purchased 5 different pastries for € 11. Even at the end of the day, the pastries were fresh and delicious.

    You seriously can't walk by this bakery and not stop in. This bakery is located near Campo di Fiore. My boyfriend and I stopped in for pastries for breakfast and bread for lunch. The pastries were delicious and around 1 euro each. The bread was even better, crusty on the outside and super soft on the inside. In addition to pastries and bread they have all sorts of sandwiches and cookies. If you are in Rome, definitely stop here for breakfast, desserts, or a quick lunch!

    A wonderful little bakery, patisserie store. We bought fresh bread and a small fruit tart to go. The owner was very kind and helpful. We will come back again to try other bake goods.

    What a stroke of luck we wondered by this bakery on our walk back to our Apartment! They are amazing! Everything was so fresh and delicious. Samples to make sure we got what we wanted and they were so kind to my crazy kiddos. This place should be in your list! Grazie Mille!

    Bruschetta con mozzarella di bufala

    We were set up by our hotel to have dinner here for our anniversary. We arrived on time to a very nice corner restaurant, the wait staff was ready and waiting and went out of our way to make us feel at home. We order a bottle of Prosecco which was perfect to set the tone for the evening. We started out with bruschetta con mozzarella di bufala" as our appetizer, it was amazing. For dinner my wife selected the ribeye with a side of potatoes, I picked at it and it was delicious. I myself selected the "I cannot remember the name" but was pasta with lobster and wow! I had never tried this combination before and was amazing. We ended the evening with creme brûlée which my wife loved (she's an expert lol). This restaurant was the cherry on top for our excellent trip to Rome for our wedding anniversary.

    My wife was a very happy tourist upon discovering Il Fornaio.

    A quaint tiny gelato joint just outside the Vatican hoard…read more It's small enough for roughly 3 folks at once, has many different options to choose from, the service is prompt, kind, mindful, and it's relatively cheap. My "medium" sized cone was a tad larger than a small but not American sized which I appreciated, it was just enough to fill a moderately hungry stomach, and gave me a taste of the gelato I'd been missing. Lovely little spot, stop in!

    As we were walking down some random Rome street, we decided to get a quick sweet treat from…read moreGelateria Del Monte. We saw a gentleman sitting outside, enjoying a gelato and it peaked our interest. The young lady working the establishment was not very friendly, but we weren't there to make friends. However, great customer service really does go a long way, especially when you're a tourist away from the comfort of home. I ordered a cone of the pistachio gelato and my best friend ordered a cone of the banana gelato. Gelato is not as sweet as ice cream so don't expect to be overwhelmed by this dessert. The pistachio gave a hint of the taste of pistachio, but could've used a little more pistachio nuts to really bring this scoop to life. I tried the banana and it was overwhelming with banana flavor... Real bananas by the way. You really have to be a banana lover to partake in this cone. I have had better gelato in the states, but wanted to try this regionally specific treat.
