My absolute favorite though was the dark chocolate gelato along with the hazelnut w/ dark chocolate chunks gelato. In fact, I was in such a state of nirvana that I couldn't even tell you what anyone else in my family had only that we were unanimous in our decision to return the following night.

In the heart of Medieval old Calcata, built on a peak of volcanic rock, La Sala is a cozy and…read morefriendly tea room where you can choose among over 100 kinds of teas. The place consists of a main room, with a few tables and the open kitchen, a smaller room, a loft and a nice terrace.

If you're in Calcata for a visit be sure to have a stop at La Sala and enjoy one of Gemma's teas.

If you go to the Vatican and want a quiet, little place for a delicious, fresh lunch, this is the…read morespot. It's only three blocks away, but there's no crowd. I assume people stop at the places closer to the Vatican and don't make it this far (only three blocks, but you pass a ton of places.) It's cool inside, the decor is fun and casual, and the food is so fresh, bright, and delicious. After fighting the crowds and the heat, this place is perfect.

In fact, I felt lucky to be able to find a spot at the bar. People come and go, they sip their espressos in swift gulps, chow down their pastries. "Hmm, I should hurry up," I thought. In mid-bite, the barista refills my cappuccino. I smile a "grazie." What a nice guy. He is in constant movement, making beverages and plating pastries for the morning rush. Yet, the cordiality and attentiveness were not sacrificed.

In the afternoon, it transforms into the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed aperitivo in a lovely, cozy setting. The service truly stands out -- the staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and always smiling, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.

I was disappointed with the bread and cookies we purchased. It's difficult to do everything well. Perhaps narrowing on one specialty is best, but I'm old school.

There's a reason this place was open and people were standing in line for hour to eat next door.
