I got my wine and it's obviously been a bottle open for days, I said it turned he said no it's how it tastes I said I don't like it, he walked away. I spend 3 months a year in Italy and don't feel like I should be treated like a dumb American even though I only speak a little Italian and am learning in a class. The food came fast I had lasagna it was good but felt looked down on by this boy and was uncomfortable with that .

Made the extra trip here from the Vatican just to try cannoli because I love cannoli and I heard…read moregood things about this place. Everything was amazing! Delicious and creamy filling with crispy shells. So so good! Love the large size too. Chocolate Chip Cannoli was the best thing here! Balance of the chocolate chips and the ricotta filling with the shell was perfect. The mini ones were perfect for trying out different flavors. Husband tried the classic, chocolate chips and pistachio. Also got the Pistachio Lover. I think this was a bit too sweet. It had a white chocolate with starsheo coating around the shell, pistachio filling on the inside and more chopped pistachios on top. So I think overall it just got too sweet. Sister also ordered the Arancini and it was nice. Crispy and warm and quite big as well!

I came here EVERY DAY for a taste of their delicious gelato, which is the one daily indulgence I…read morepartook in when I was in Rome. Beautiful cafe very close to my hotel. They had a good, large selection of gelato for me to choose from. The service here was quite prompt and friendly, so I didn't have long to wait even though there was a language barrier and I was concerned about being snubbed when I first came here. So I was much relieved when THAT didn't happen. Very good, refreshing gelato. My favorite was definitely the hazel and tiramisu flavors. I also really those adorable little mousse cakes. Light, fluffy, airy, these desserts are not like the massive bombs of sugar you get in the States. It reminded me of a Kinder Bueno candy bar...but in a mousse cake form.

This place is a super casual grab and go café. We were staying directly next door and came here…read moreonce to twice a day for coffee or a dessert. They serve every kind of pastry you can think of from tiramisu, to cannolis, to other sweets I cant even pronounce. They also have a decent variety of gelato to choose from (but this was the one thing we didn't try here). What we enjoyed the most was the coffee. We tried the cafe americano, cappuccino, espresso, etc. everyone was good. And their prices are extremely fair. This was one of the few honest places we came across while we were here. Stay away from the convenience store next door to this place (owned by an Indian guy) because that guy overcharged us by at least 10 euros, but we didn't even argue with him because we just knew to take our business elsewhere for the remainder of the trip. The guys there are really nice and understand/speak English well. They have a few tables where you can sit down and enjoy your meal, or, you can request your stuff to go.

The gelato at Ciuri Ciuri was decent, but overall I left feeling a little underwhelmed. The flavors…read morewere good and the quality was solid, but I didn't think it was anything that really stood out, especially for the price. It was also a bit expensive for the portion you receive, and the service was kind of inattentive. It took longer than expected to get help, and the staff didn't seem very engaged. Overall, it's not a bad place if you're in the area and want some gelato, but I don't think it's a place I'd go out of my way to visit again. Three stars.

Pure and unadulterated pleasure…read more Whatever you have been working towards, You have now encountered Life's Rewards. * * * The leprechauns were confused when they thought the Pot of Gold At The End Of The Rainbow was in Ireland. The pot of gold is not in Ireland. It is in Rome at the Pasticceria Barberini. * * * Pasticceria Barberini is an old school 1920's pastry shop. Yeah yeah yeah, they play Italian rap on the sound system. But the tile on the floor, the decoration on the walls, the marble, the benches and the tables, these are all old school Roma from before the war. I wish they played Neapolitan tenors of 1925 from when the bakery was founded and not Sferra Ebbasta's and Capo Plaza's hits from last week. But for THESE pastries, they can play whomever they like, whenever they like. * * * The pastry selection is vast and massively massively tempting. Prudence limited me to two pleasures. Those pleasures were epiphany, nirvana, and the concluding moment of passion all in one. The first item was a chocolate bigli. (That is a cream puff or beignet - but in an Italian shape.) This. Is. The. Little. Kid. Chocolate. Dessert. Of. Your. Dreams. A sudden Niagara of chocolate happiness. The pastry is small. But you could not take any more happiness in one dose. * * * The chocolate bigli was the second best pastry I had. Yes, you heard that right. Second best. * * * The first best pastry was more of an adult pleasure. Not so much chocolate storming around you in every direction. But a subtle mix of complex tastes with as many flavor-colors and striations as a pillar of the finest Italian marble. I am referring to what they modestly call their carrot cake. Carrots are what merely held the cake together. Inside was a kaleidoscope of different savory touches and ribbons of taste. Orange was a regular accent. Hazelnut was a regular accent. Almond weaved in and out of the proceedings. The longer I tasted, the more I found. I could have studied that carrot cake for an hour Eating three slices but taking twenty minutes on each one. (I only had one slice but I wish I could have had three slices.) Each new forkful pulled out a different accent I had not noticed before. A flavor I thought was one thing turned out to be something completely different entirely. That cake was a crossword puzzle and an atlas of the world and a great big history of art book all in one. I could have gone over the details for ages and ages and ages. Each new detail made me happier and happier. * * * Just for the record, Barberini's was originally a milk store. (Yes, in the 1920's Italy had milk stores. Supermarkets were rare and city people did not have a cow. So you went to a milk store to get your daily milk.) The milk store evolved into a gelateria. They added the pastry and became famous for the pastry. The rest is history. Out of a sense of tradition, they do keep a stock of their own gelato on hand. For all I know that gelato could be wonderful. * * * 3/4 of their glass case however is devoted to pastry. With pastries like this, you can easily see why. Someone someday should let me know if the gelato is any good. But it would take the Chains of Prometheus to keep me from ordering a whole plate of pastries the next time that I return here.

The one thing to pay attention to is you order and pay at the cash register first before you move on to the goodies and you might then want more than you initially ordered - most likely!

Disappointed. Everything looked good so we went back for breakfast after passing by. Inside we…read morewaited in line to order but were told to go outside and order since we wanted a table. No signage explained this but ok, non problem, makes sense. Outside we got a table and menus and placed our order. This is tricky if you don't know what they currently have but we took pics at the counter so we knew what to ask for. The pastry was fine. The tea was scolding hot but ok after it cooked. No one was around so we went back inside and waited again to pay. We were told again to pay outside. So we went back outside and waited a few minutes for someone to show up. Another girl was so frustrated she left with her family and did not pay. We waited and paid eventually. €15 for two pastry and one tea. That's it. They up charge €1-€2 per item and do not charge coperto. Average food, way overpriced for table service. And the service wasn't good either. Go elsewhere if you have options or just do take away.
