On International Women's Day we stopped here with my parents and our 4-year-old daughter after walking around Trastevere. We ordered espresso for everyone and sat outside. Our daughter had a small tiramisu we bought at another shop a few minutes earlier. Within seconds the owner stormed out and started shouting at us aggressively about the tiramisu. Not explaining. Not asking politely. Just yelling. We tried to explain that we had ordered drinks and were paying customers, but instead of behaving like someone who runs a hospitality business, he escalated the situation into a loud public confrontation. Then his younger partner came out and joined the shouting. Two grown men screaming at a family with a small child in the middle of a tourist street. At that point our 4-year-old daughter started crying because she was scared by the way they were yelling at us. What was the reaction of the owner when he saw a child crying? Did he calm down? Did he apologize? Did he show even basic human decency? No. He kept yelling and demanding we leave. Rome is one of the most welcoming cities in the world and during our entire trip we met wonderful, kind people everywhere. This place was the only exception. If you are a tourist or a family with children, do yourself a favor and choose literally any other café in Trastevere. There are hundreds of them. Hospitality clearly isn't practiced here.

This cafeteria had all the makings of being a typical tourist trap (super expensive and lacking any…read morequality whatsoever). 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.

Staff was nice but don't get your hopes up for the food. We ordered a cheese cake and it was hard and chewy, the cannoli we ordered was fine but it was Nutella filling. The "sandwiches" we ordered were quesadillas with 0 flavor. They played weird sex songs or old rap the whole time, did not feel like I was in Italy. If you're thinking about coming here, just keep walking.

I have to say the service here was a bit slow but we were tucked away inside away from the main bar view so that's probably why. The prosciutto with fresh figs on a slice of bread was very good. Their cheese sampler was very basic but did the job. Overall this was a good date night with my wife and would come back here again for dinner and to try other things as well!

I've traveled enough to know that service in Rome operates differently than back home, and I…read moregenuinely make allowances for that. This was something else entirely. We had a reservation at 8pm and were seated promptly -- a good start. Then nothing. Twenty-five minutes passed without a single staff member approaching our table. We had to flag someone down, who initially brushed us off before eventually returning. Wine came quickly once ordered, but food didn't arrive until 9:45 -- over an hour after ordering. In that time, we watched two other couples leave without ever being spoken to, and a third ordered drinks, waited, and walked out. When our drinks ran dry, staff walked by multiple times without a glance. When we finally caught someone's attention, the response was a dismissive "yeah yeah, one second." That kind of attitude wears thin fast. The food was fine -- not bad, not memorable. Bruschetta, eggplant parmigiana, and white lasagna were all acceptable, but nothing came close to justifying the wait or compensating for the experience. The wine list is impressively extensive, though navigating hundreds of options via QR code in dim lighting is its own challenge -- a printed list would go a long way. Maybe we caught them on a bad night. Maybe they cater primarily to locals and tourists aren't a priority. Either way, Trastevere is full of excellent options where you'll feel welcome. I'd walk down the street before returning here.

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.
