I am a huge pesto fan, so I grabbed several jars of their signature paste. Our group of three ended up trying everything from a red-white sauce; eggplant to prosciutto. The slices being ultra-thin crust just means you can eat more, so it's a win win for all! Really wish I would have tried their other food items though, but it was more of a late night snack.

We had a 12:30 lunch reservation at Roscioli and arrived hungry a little before 12:15, hoping to be…read moreseated early. We were surprised to learn that the restaurant did not actually open until 12:30, and found ourselves with fifteen minutes to kill. Luckily, Roscioli Caffè Pasticceria was right next door. We got seated immediately, a relief given both our timeframe and our slight fatigue after a long walk from Vatican City. We got a small table on the cute little patio, and service was prompt and friendly. We told our waiter about our lunch reservation, and he made sure we were able to leave on schedule. We ordered cappuccinos, which were €3 apiece and delicious, thick with foam. I don't drink coffee at home, but after this one, I enjoyed cappuccinos every day in Italy. So cheap and tasty. The café also offers a robust food menu, and seems like a great place to get a Roscioli meal if you can't land a reservation at the popular (and amazing) salumeria. I'd recommend Roscioli Caffè Pasticceria whether or not you're also eating at the restaurant.

The whole place has that cozy, neighborhood bakery feel the second you walk in. Super warm, inviting, and just a really good energy overall. The coffee was excellent, one of my favorite cappuccinos I had in the area. The staff was also amazing, really kind and attentive and made the experience even better. We tried the quiche which was delicious, but the standout for me was the caramello. So good. Honestly, this place completely exceeded my expectations and is absolutely worth stopping by.

This neighborhood is known for the coolest bars and hidden gem eateries but this bakery did not register as such for moi. Biscottificio Innocenti is known for their artisan cookies/biscottis.

We were in the mood for some coffee so it was a little intimidating to see all the different varieties they had, especially given the fact that most of the drinks were in Italian. They were really patient and answered our questions about their drinks. Got their crema di caffe which is essentially an espresso with a lot of cream/whipped cream(?) on top. It was sweet but fluffy. Took a while to drink it but it allowed us to unwind. Definitely coming back to this place in the future!

In the past, I knew of Gelateria Navona, just a few doors up from the actual piazza, and that was…read moremy go-to place for gelato in Rome. Expecting it to be there one year, I walked over to Piazza Navona and Gelateria Navona had evidently closed. I would then get gelato here and there. I then learned that Giolitti is a long standing gelateria and it's also in the historic center. I filed the name away in my head. Then, one day, I happened to walk right in front of it without even looking for it, so I went in. Giolitti is popular and it can be crowded. I'm going to say that I waited about 10 to 15 minutes. You pay at a counter first, deciding on what you want and how much of it, such as scoops and whether it will be in a cup or a cone. Once up at the counter, they don't rush you, which surprised me. I don't take that much time since I don't experiment much, but I still appreciate the courtesy. The price is roughly what everyone else in the historic center is charging. I always opt for the gelato it in a cup so you can "control" the dripping. The gelato - a mix of dark chocolate and two citrus flavors - was "molto buono." That said, just because it's so popular, I'm not going to downgrade Giolitti for it and complain about the crowds. You downgrade gourmet donut places in the U.S. where their fame has gone to their heads. There is also a spacious salon with nicer decor in which you can eat inside. At this point, Giolitti is really the only gelateria in Rome whose name I remember. I would gladly go back and I recommend it.
