This spot is one of few places that serves American breakfast and is actually good. We also ordered cornetti (Italian for croissant) with cappuccinos. I like any place that allows me to be immersed in the Italian culture and also has a little something for everyone. It was great to see Italians walk up to the bar and order/digest pastries and cappuccinos while standing and then head off to work. It reminded of the scene in Eat Pray Love where Julia Roberts goes to a bar in Rome and tries to place an order in the same way. I liked placing my order in Italian. Btw, bars are basically cafes in Italy. I sat inside with a window view. Sit outside if you want a view of the colosseum. Experience was 10/10. read more

This place is not only super efficient but has the best selection of food. After eating pastries every morning for breakfast, we missed an American plate of eggs and toast. Their prices are great and the service is outstanding. I just wish we would have found them earlier in our trip. read more

We went there for breakfast yesterday and loved our food and experience! There were quiet a lot of people but the staff is fast! Our waiter was very fast and attentive to all his customers. We ordered the pancakes and Salmon y formaggio sandwhich which were cooked well. We also got a nutella croissant and a chocolate dessert to take away which we ate at the airport on our return flight home in the afternoon. We even met the NBC reporter Caludio who was doing a segment on Starbucks opening in Milan from this cafe! He was very nice and actually took the time to have conversation with us! I definitely plan to return here next time I am in Roma! read more

This place was great!! Short walk from the colesseo. Really nice staff and even better drinks and food. I'd highly recommend this spot. They offer a wide variety on their menu and are happy to help with any questions you have. Fast service and great atmosphere read more

La Licata - Italian Beer - Bars Near Me - Rome, RM

Part bar, part cafe, and part tabacchi shop, La Licata basically has something for everyone in Rome. La Licata starts off the day with their breakfast menu. This includes traditional pastries like cornets or croissants, espresso, and even some american style options. At night though, their bar is a great place to start the night. In what seems to be popular in this neighborhood, La Licata serves a complementary buffet if you purchase a mixed drink off their menu. Choices include a lot of the classics. On a group visit I chose a spritz and my wife chose a negroni. The spritz was much sweeter than I expected. When the negroni was made they were not shy on the alcohol. The complementary buffet is full of some really good tapas. On our visit, standouts included mini focaccia pizza bites, eggplant, and potatoes. If the free food isn't your style, you can still order off their standard menu at night. The food menu includes a lot of vegan food as choices. Beer and wine bottles can also be purchased to take home with you. Avoid some of the tourist traps nearby and stop in to La Licata for good drinks, good food, and a good value. read more

Found on yelp while near the Colosseum, we decided to give it a try because we were wanting an "American breakfast". The restaurant was busy with friendly and attentive staff. They had a delicious fresh fruit bowl and fresh squeezed orange juice. I ordered pancakes with scrambled eggs and was completely satisfied with my meal. I would definitely return here in the future! read more

This place was about 20 meters from the apartment we rented while staying in Rome. It was always crowded, but on our very last day, we decided to give it a try. Oh, boy, we regret not having tried it before. The food was great. Three of us had the American breakfast, simply delicious and hearty. But not only the food was great, Rafaello was friendly, attentive and courteous. read more

Incredibly delicious, authentic and unique flavors with a modern and very urban-style spin. Excellent signature cocktails bursting with flavors. Many vegan and gluten-free options and customizable dishes. All in a fun and upbeat atmosphere. Great for brunch, happy hour, dinner or a quick lunch during workweek hours. read more

Excellent breakfast after a long trip to Rome . Lots to choose from and fairly priced read more

This is a very good place to get breakfast in Monti. Most of the clients are locals, who get their order and stand, but there are also tables to sit. The food was very good. I especially enjoyed my omelette. You can get it with ham and cheese, or with salmon which was also very good. Plus with toast you get butter jam and nutella. Service was excellent as well. read more

Great local place close to the colosseum. We stopped by after our tour around 1500 and the place was not too busy. Our waiter spoke some English but was extremely friendly! We ordered Spritz and a Mozzarella/prosciutto sandwich which was really good. Along with the cocktail comes a board of chicken, tuna, fried olives, small pizzas and what tastes like pizza rolls (but actual Italian pizza rolls). In all this place was great for a break and some good food to refuel. Ask the waiter for the WIFI password! read more

After reading some good reviews we decided to try La Licata. The restaurant itself is very cute and small but does the trick. The tables are not the most comfortable for eating (it is a bar too) but again, did the trick for a quick breakfast. We both got the American breakfast - it comes with orange juice as well as your choice of espresso, cappuccino or tea. It was very busy when we went but we got served surprisingly quick. Truthfully the food was quite plain but their breakfast menu isn't too big to begin with. We found it slightly overpriced (€12 a plate including drinks) just because of the food itself, other than that the deal works out pretty well. We really enjoyed how they added eggplant and zucchini to the breakfast, I actually found that to be the most delicious part! On the other hand, their espresso and cappuccino were really good and their pastries looked delicious! read more

Rude staff and the Toast in the energy menu was really dry like they cooked it on a heater.

Nice restaurant near the Colosseum. Had an American breakfast €12 breakfast. Great price for the area, and it was a big portion. Our group was also given a free cappuccino on our way out. The breakfast also came with a cappuccino and an orange juice. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good breakfast. read more

This place was one block away from our hotel, and it was probably the best find of our entire trip. We spent the last 4 nights of our 18 day trip in Rome, so we were getting pretty home sick by then, and this place had exactly what we needed. My wife ordered the American breakfast special, which was wonderful. I ordered an omelette which was also great. Best of all, both of my daughters enjoyed pancakes that reminded them of home. Service was excellent, and the food was promptly served. The meals are generously priced as well. We ate breakfast here twice, and came back for a third day, but they were closed. I highly recommend this place. read more

First morning in Rome and we were looking for a cappuccino and found La Licata. Great find! The place was bustling and we were promptly greeted and served with a friendly smile. Of course the cappuccino was delightful, but the pastries were delicious as well. Try the crossaint with pistachio cream or the ham and salami sandwiches. We went back the next morning and got the same great service. Bravo! read more

Great bar, close to colloseum. Would happily visit here again. Moscow mules come in a real copper mug and we got complimentary peanuts and chips. read more

Very attentive service, reasonably priced drinks given the touristy location.

Non discreet little corner bar that has awesome food and great service. Nice cold Heineken with some breaded chicken and pasta with meat sauce. Perfect after a long day of walking and exploring beautiful Rome. read more

Really loved this place. We came here a few times to get their cappuccino. As a first reviewer, I know it may not help that all we got was a cappuccino and a pastry but let me tell you those were both great. The cappuccino was take-out so we could walk and drink while walking to the Colosseum a few minutes down the road. The service was very quick and friendly. Great place in Monti. read more

So good we just kept coming back. Favorite breakfast spot - don't miss the fruit salad, the croissants (especially warm!) or the coffee! Extremely friendly and helpful staff. read more

Great place to grab breakfast near Colosseum. Everything's we tried was very tasty and we came back multiple times.

Seriously the best breakfast ever! My wonderful wife only likes well done omelets and 9/10 times she's still not happy with them. The guys (and gals?) at La Licata NAILED it. Note, it's not a bar in the morning. I wish they'd list as breakfast on yelp! read more

Great little spot for breakfast. Reasonable price, quick, good basic eggs and bacon meal with good coffee. Very friendly and multilingual.

This is great little cafe restaurant. The folks working there are very pleasant and really made our experience dining there great! Thanks again for the hospitality and tasty food. read more

The coffee and fruit bowl (€5) were good but the Greek yogurt option seemed expensive for being a prepackaged cup. The location is good as it's near the coliseum and the area seemed to have a good night life too. The staff was nice and spoke English which was a plus since it was our first day in Rome when we decided to stop by here. Overall, we had a good experience. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch of bruschetta and salad. Everything was very tasty, and they even had proper (sweet!) iced tea. Nice touch for the tourists: they had free ice water for us to refill our bottles. Highly recommend. read more

Hip place with both native Romans and tourists. Guys running it are very cool. Playlist at the moment was 1990s Americano grunge. Great throwback for GenXers! Good atmosphere. Beer comes with small appies too at happy hour. read more
