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.

The croissant with pistachio cream was amazing! The chicken panini with fresh mozzarella was scrumptious and the cheese was dripping wet. The ambiance is cozy and popular among locals.

The bread is so fresh and perfectly flaky, the prosciutto was soft and delicious, and the mozzarella was the actual good mozzarella that melts in your mouth. He makes the sandwich in front of you, which is so much better and fresher than those pre-made sandwiches everywhere else. It was def worth the slightly extra effort and time to get go here instead of getting food from the train station. This is a perfect lunch esp if you have 4+ hours on the train. Do yourself a favor and go here. The price is great too- only €3.50 for this deliciously fresh sandwich.

We had just finished a 4 hr train ride and were HUNGRY. The entrance is outside the station, but a quick walk. Once you are inside, it's overwhelmingly filled with food galore. Everywhere you look there's an option for desserts, coffee, alcohol, sandwiches, pasta, pizza, meats, American food, Japanese food, and many other Italian specialties. Some tough decisions to be made here. So depending on your appetite, have fun! The piadina wrap came with ham, cheese, greens, tomatoes, and truffle cream. Sounds basic but that truffle cream gave it an edge and the wrap was loaded. The meatballs were so so good! Like rich fatty goodness. The meatball itself was juicy and that tomato sauce was thick and beefy. The braised beef was tender and paired with the salted potatoes and salad it was a well balanced plate. This was our first food stop in Rome and it only got better in the days to come. Great welcome to Rome meal!

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.
