They're served in tiny chocolate shot glass cups which are filled with an assortment of liqueurs. It's great to come with a group of friends and the owner shows you how to take the shots. Great little experience for your trip.

I tried the chocolate covered orange peels, plain croissant with honey on top, mini fruit tarts, petit fours, a delicious mini butterscotch thing, mini cannolis, and one of the larger chocolate tarts. It's all a blur but it tasted great going down. The lattes and spinach paninos are also great!

When she rang us up, she refused to make change although she had stacks of coins on the counter. After giving exact payment I had another question but she abruptly turned and went in the back room.

Limone candito and scorza d'arancia are delicate and delicious. Situated at a row of food stops, it is a must try! Mostly outside seating so hope it isn't raining when you go here!

Mmmm... Gelato!…read more They have just a few flavors to offer; but, there's my favorite: Pistachio! This is a cute neighborhood spot in the Portico d'Ottavia area. Non-english speaking personnel but that doesn't matter when all you have to do is point to your favorite flavor! Outside there are a few tables to enjoy your refreshing treat - be it gelato or one of the tempting pastries. Whatever you do, stop and take a look at the larger than life bambino and his ice cream cone at the entrance. It's darling and will bring a smile to your face! Two scoops per favore!

Super fair pricing too; €2.70 for a cappuccino and pastry/cornetto, and €2.90 for a cappuccino and maritozzo. Warning: They don't have the maritozzo every day and when they do have them, they sell out quickly!!! *I put souvenirs in quotes since it's not an actual souvenir shop, it is a smaller, upscale market and bar. But if you want quality items that can be transported back to your home, this is the spot!
