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.

Simply delicious and authentic Roman style pizza…read more There are so many different types of pizza to choose from that it's overwhelming. There is also a crowd, so you'll need to get your order in fast. They'll cut your slice for you, so if you want to try a few small pieces of various pies it's easy to mix and match. We were in a rush and a little overwhelmed and ended up trying slices that had fresh ricotta + mozzarella, basil, tomatoes and grilled veggies like sweet peppers and eggplant. The pizza is just perfect. The crust is doughy and salted to perfection. I love how Roman style pizza basically just feels like eating pizza on focaccia. There is a generous amount of toppings. This is pretty much everything that you'd want pizza to be. I didn't try any other pizza in Rome, so I can't compare. But based off of my experience and other reviews I'd venture to guess that this is some of the best pizza you can find in the area.

They sell pizza by the pound -- I just wanted a small piece but the slices are huge, so ended up getting a big one lol.

If you're looking for a classic Roman coffee experience, La Casa del Caffè Tazza d'Oro is…read moredefinitely one to add to your list. Located just steps from the Pantheon in Piazza della Rotonda, this historic coffee bar has been a Roman institution since 1946 and is especially known for its coffee, which has helped make it one of the city's most famous cafés. The line was pretty long when we arrived, but it moved surprisingly quickly. You can enjoy your coffee and pastries inside while standing at the counter, or, if you're lucky, grab one of the few seats available inside. There's also outdoor seating, but keep in mind that sitting outside comes with a separate--and if I remember correctly, significantly higher--service charge. I'll be honest--I'm pretty sure I ordered the wrong thing. I ended up with what was essentially a frosty coffee ice cream, which is not what I was going for, lol. I was supposed to order the Granita di caffè con panna, which is their signature. It's a coffee granita--essentially finely shaved/frozen coffee--topped with whipped cream. Instead of whipped cream, I accidentally told my Italian nephew I wanted the coffee with ice cream, whoops. I also ordered a maritozzo, which I was absolutely on a mission to try while in Rome. The maritozzo is a traditional Roman sweet bun filled generously with whipped cream, and it did not disappoint. I was in a bit of a rush, so I didn't have time to enjoy my maritozzo there. I packed it up and ate it later that evening, and it was still delicious. I've also essentially given up coffee completely, so I only had a few bites and sips of my coffee ice cream, but what I tried was really good. The menu is fairly large and varied, and it can feel a little overwhelming when you're standing at the counter with a line behind you. I'd recommend taking a look at the menu ahead of time if you can so you have an idea of what you want before you get up to order. Overall, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. Tazza d'Oro is an institution, the location is hard to beat, and there's something fun about experiencing one of Rome's longtime coffee traditions--even if you accidentally order the wrong thing like I did!

The store wasn't busy, so the process was quick as well. First, you order and pay in the back counter. Then you'll get a ticket to claim your tiramisu at the display case. We got one Classic Tiramisu (€5), which was perfectly boxed up. I like that they sprinkled the pistachio one only when you order, so it keeps it fresh and crunchy. The coffee flavor is strong and creamy. Even days later, it tasted just as good too, especially with the flavor soaked into the ladyfingers. It's the perfect treat while exploring Rome or to take back to your place to enjoy afterwards.
