I've visited this boutique several times during trips to Rome and never have enough room in my suitcases to bring home enough treats from this tiny gem of a shop.
Located on Via del Governo Vecchio, (near Piazza Navona) the shop is run by Francesca and sells wide variety of Pissarro (her family) artisanal liqueurs.
