    croissant
    Haylee M.

    Quite a large croissant collection here! They actually had a really big menu of croissants and we just picked the plain one. Hoping for something neutral like the classic croissant from Paris where it's crispy and flaky and buttery... But the croissant was actually sweet! And this is after we got the plain one and not the filled cornettos. Got some of the zucchini fritters and they were beautiful! I believe it was zucchini flower fritters? A little bit oily but such a lovely flavor! They had a really nice focaccia bread as well. Also got some other breads to make sandwiches and everything was nice and fresh.

    Pizza Bianca con mortadella

    Potato carinissimo su via Merulana, con atmosfera simpatica e di quartiere. All'ora di pranzo si trova facilmente da sedere sia fuori che dentro, consiglio la pizza bianca fatta in casa farcita con la mortadella, accompagnata da una cedrata è il pranzo estivo perfetto. Provate la crostatina alle visciole che è buonissima! In fine, servizio simpatico e veloce, tornerò!

    Panella The coffees are yummy, but the pastry takes the cake! (Awful pun, I know). They are renown for their breads and create fun and fanciful shapes. Also flavorful small plates.

    We came here every morning for espresso & pastries during our trip. It's super busy and not the most organized. Looked like a lot of locals frequent this pasticceria. They have a huge variety of pastries on display but we were very interested in the dollop of fresh cream and zabaglione (whipped egg yolk with sugar) that everyone seemed to have on their espressos! They seemed to have given it everyone except us...unsure if it was because we were tourists? We eventually asked a kind stranger what it was and if it was an extra charge but it's completely free! Just ask! The addition of zabaglione makes the espresso sooooo rich and creamy. We were completely hooked!

    PSA: I am reviewing the attached gelato bar (Pane & Gelato) ONLY! If you appreciate "true" gelato you'll fall in love with this Roman creamery. Their Italian gelato is stored properly to preserve its flavor, texture and temperature. The gentleman allowed me to taste test as much as my little heart desired. He was super nice, patient with my English speaking and easy on the eyes. I enjoyed all the flavors but just could not deter from my usual combination of chocolate & pistachio. My small serving was topped with delicate wafers that complimented the gelato perfectly. Pane & Gelato has outdoor seating and a charming walk up window. I didn't want to leave.... Ciao, ~Christy

    The best place for a relax morning! They've got a nice and cute vintage style coffee machine, plus the cappuccino is perfect! If you've got a table (served one), the coffee will be companied with sauce like zabaione and cream, so good! For easier option, take a high table (self service) with a normal bar price, and the cornetto with Nutella is so good, but also there are some salty breakfast option like a mini pizza with motardella and cheese! for more details on my blog: https://www.gustobeats.com/best-places-to-eat-in-rome-for-a-3-day-rome-itinerary/

    We went there on weekday for a coffee break. There was ample seating outdoor but we prefer indoor no smoking. We had two coffees and two small pastries, only €6! They sell fresh breads and some goods like dry pasta and balsamic oils.

    The pastry and cappuccino were so good and even the most of staffs don't speak English but they have been patient, attentive, and helpful.

    Best Gelato ever in Rome!
    Greg B.

    Wow what a place! A shop in the heart of Rome which is much more than just a simple bakery! Their "aperitivo" which starts around 6ish is the best "deal" anyone can get! For 12Euros you get an unlimited buffet of freshly prepared food and a drink which are simply delicious or a glass from their great selection of wine. Their Sunday Brunch is also a "bargain" and well worth going, however in both cases for brunch and aperitivo it might be worth to reserve a table since the wait can be at times, especially in the weekend, well over 1 hour! But its totally worth it! In many occasions I've been there, for me the aperitivo was my dinner since you have a lot of food selection and its all delicious! Inside they have also a store that sells the great products they use in their very own preparation, and the prices are modest. Had breakfast also here on a few occasions as well as lunch, especially on a sunny day its amazing to eat in the little square, that is next to the shop (Largo Leopardi), right behind the Colosseum! Definitely worth visiting a place that is almost a century old and its still family run!

    Note the iced coffee in the martini glass! MMM

    I definitely recommend going and doing self service as many of the others have pointed out. Would be five stars if the table service wasn't so so slow! BEST baked goods in Roma; such high quality it puts every other bakery to shame! The coffee drinks are fantastic. Highly recommend a regular cappuccino, cappuccino del professor, or the shaken iced coffee.

    Panella is simply amazing. A great atmosphere with outdoor seating that isn't directly next to the busy street. A wide variety of mouth watering pastries and refreshing afternoon drinks. One of the best places to eat in Rome!

    OMG! Stopped in here as we were passing by one evening in Rome. We practically ordered one of everything & devoured it all within the hour. Everything was divine!

    Beautiful

    I'm American and I've always loved the Italian cafes with their beautiful counters where you have coffee with everything so pretty and shiny. I went to Rome, where my longtime friend has been living for 20 years. The first thing he said the day after I arrived is "I want to take you to a place with the shiniest espresso machine." And while we were there he said "I've waited 20 years to bring you here". The had the hugest silver SHINY espresso machine with the most charming barista. It was my first memory of Rome and set the tone for the best trip of my life. Their pastries were the MOST beautiful I have ever seen in my life!! I went back the next day for some pizza. My intimidation of how bad my Italian was got me to order it unheated (because it was faster with less interaction - less embarrassment of my bad Italian) and it would have been better heated - they wanted to heat it up for me. It was good but I should have heated it. Anyway this place will always have a warm place in my heart for the shiny espresso machine that my friend waited 20 years to show me. I will be back when in Rome.

    See all

    Plus it's in a less touristy part of Rome so it feels more like you are part of the city, not in throngs of tourists.
