    I loved the Mimosa Cake and the lovely carrying box. Fresh strawberries with a unique and lovely texture. Call ahead the day prior for special cakes. www.ilgianfornaio.com

    When you get inside, you'll notice it looks like any other bakery. However, this one's very special and I'm so glad my family and I found this place as we were walking around the beautiful city. We ordered many different things, mainly just different flavors of the mini pizzas they sold there. I definitely suggest getting one of the mini pizzas because they're delicious for a great price! We got the regular cheese-covered ones, ones with zucchini, mushrooms, and tomatoes. They were so flavorful and they all tasted warm and fresh! I'll be back here if I ever visit Rome again!

    We took our kids here two days in a row we loved it so much! Pizza is to die for... Love that you tell them how much you want and that's all you pay for. Stack up your plate with all different baked foods. Chili pizza will blow your brains out, mushroom was excellent, margherita was out this world. And don't forget the little oil & salt rolls. My wife would normally kill me for saying it, but given it was Rome it must be known that they've hand selected the cutest waitresses in town. My brother in law would've been in heaven.

    If you want an Italian cafeteria experience must try this place. Simply point to items you would like - as they are displayed in large platters behind a counter . Once the plate is filled the counter person will give you a ticket detailing what you have on the plate - take the ticket to a cash register nearby and pay. Back to the counter with your receipt and pick up your plate. Find a table and Enjoy!!! Food was delicious.

    Ham, spicy pesto, pancetta and mushroom, cherry tomato and black olive - all delicious pizza!

    If you want to see how quickly a pleasant evening in Rome can turn into a ridiculous public scene…read more-- come here. On International Women's Day we stopped here with my parents and our 4-year-old daughter after walking around Trastevere. We ordered espresso for everyone and sat outside. Our daughter had a small tiramisu we bought at another shop a few minutes earlier. Within seconds the owner stormed out and started shouting at us aggressively about the tiramisu. Not explaining. Not asking politely. Just yelling. We tried to explain that we had ordered drinks and were paying customers, but instead of behaving like someone who runs a hospitality business, he escalated the situation into a loud public confrontation. Then his younger partner came out and joined the shouting. Two grown men screaming at a family with a small child in the middle of a tourist street. At that point our 4-year-old daughter started crying because she was scared by the way they were yelling at us. What was the reaction of the owner when he saw a child crying? Did he calm down? Did he apologize? Did he show even basic human decency? No. He kept yelling and demanding we leave. Rome is one of the most welcoming cities in the world and during our entire trip we met wonderful, kind people everywhere. This place was the only exception. If you are a tourist or a family with children, do yourself a favor and choose literally any other café in Trastevere. There are hundreds of them. Hospitality clearly isn't practiced here.

    This is a very cute and cozy wine bar hidden in one of the many streets on the outskirts of Rome…read more We got a table inside and were the only couple inside, menus are only through QR codes. I have to say the service here was a bit slow but we were tucked away inside away from the main bar view so that's probably why. The prosciutto with fresh figs on a slice of bread was very good. Their cheese sampler was very basic but did the job. Overall this was a good date night with my wife and would come back here again for dinner and to try other things as well!

    I've traveled enough to know that service in Rome operates differently than back home, and I…read moregenuinely make allowances for that. This was something else entirely. We had a reservation at 8pm and were seated promptly -- a good start. Then nothing. Twenty-five minutes passed without a single staff member approaching our table. We had to flag someone down, who initially brushed us off before eventually returning. Wine came quickly once ordered, but food didn't arrive until 9:45 -- over an hour after ordering. In that time, we watched two other couples leave without ever being spoken to, and a third ordered drinks, waited, and walked out. When our drinks ran dry, staff walked by multiple times without a glance. When we finally caught someone's attention, the response was a dismissive "yeah yeah, one second." That kind of attitude wears thin fast. The food was fine -- not bad, not memorable. Bruschetta, eggplant parmigiana, and white lasagna were all acceptable, but nothing came close to justifying the wait or compensating for the experience. The wine list is impressively extensive, though navigating hundreds of options via QR code in dim lighting is its own challenge -- a printed list would go a long way. Maybe we caught them on a bad night. Maybe they cater primarily to locals and tourists aren't a priority. Either way, Trastevere is full of excellent options where you'll feel welcome. I'd walk down the street before returning here.
