But to our surprise after climbing roughly five flights of stairs to the top of the building where this place is situated, it turned out to be just short of an oasis! They had pasta dishes, as well as pastries and nice sandwiches on display behind the glass counters. Everything looked cool, fresh and inviting in the sunny and hot afternoon glare of day when my girlfriend and I were there. They also served juices, wine, beer and liquor for those who cater to such. Fairly friendly service which was above all efficient and streamlined. This seems to be a well frequented cafeteria, so fast service is appreciated. Plenty of shade to find under the numourus parasols pitched above the tables of the dining area. It all made for a welcomed break from the hot outdoor afternoon July sun.

Their breakfast selection is incredible -- a wide variety of fresh, beautifully crafted pastries that taste just as good as they look. The cappuccinos are perfectly made, rich and balanced, exactly what you'd expect in Italy. What makes this place even more special is that it's not just for mornings. 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. A must-visit if you're in Rome -- whether it's for breakfast, a coffee break, or a laid-back afternoon drink.

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. I miss the days of the fruit store, the formaggi shop, the wine merchant, etc. Everyone was lovely at Il Gianfornaio, and reminded me of how my American education was lacking. I can only speak English and a smattering of French. The merchants at Il Gianfornaio spoke English better than me. That was embarrassing.

I am afraid to share that it was pretty bad... We walk into the restaurant and a young man behind the counter asked us what we would like to eat. So we showed him the vouchers and he gave us somewhat a mad look. He asked us what we like to drink and what kind of baked goods we want... Having limited options we chose our baked goods ( 1 each ) and headed toward a table... After 5 mins, we got our drinks and a tray with variety of breakfast items as you can see in the picture that I posted.. It included yogurt, salami, mini buns, cheese, butter, jam and Orange juice... The salami tasted soooo bad... It tasted like it has been in vinegar getting pickled for ages... Just awful!!!! I have to be honest, but I felt like I am getting my daily share of food in a jail!!!!! Sorry Agora but you have disappointed me!

We spent our last day in Rome resting our feet and enjoying everything available to eat & drink at the Mercato Centrale! We had cappuccinos to start our day, then hung out and had Aperol Spritzes, Hugo Spritzes (elderflower, prosecco, mint, lime), Artichoke trapizzino, a vegan burger, gnocchi, and Maritozzo with hazelnut Gelato throughout the afternoon. My partner was not feeling well so it was a chill place to rest all day and try a lot of different food and drink without walking far. Staff were very accommodating and didn't mind that we were camped out at the same table most of the day reading, eating, and drinking.

The real VIP dish of the night was the tiramisu. I don't eat tiramisu as I've never had a good one. Our waiter Alex assembled the tiramisu table side. Honestly, it really didn't need the hype. With fresh mascarpone,espresso and cacao flakes, it really was a great tasting dessert AND we hope to get back there one last time before we leave. Yes it was that good! We were able to get seated quickly as we got there around 6:30-7pm. Most people started filing in after that. A gentleman started playing music on an accordion and then a drummer met him. He does play for tips. It was a nice touch. A man with huge long stemmed red roses began working the crowd too. I'd say this would be considered fine dining. C'iao!
