Oh, how I miss Rome! If I would have known that 2020 would have been acting up like this, I would…read morehave stayed an extra month in Italy just to take in all the beauty it had to offer! One of the places that I miss dearly is the touristy restaurant and bars around the City of Rome, specifically in the Vatican area. I found this place as it was on my Yelp List and it was a MUST. Open 24/7, this place is known for the great Gelato and their pastries! Many people come here to have a quick coffee and a bite to eat. My friends and I came here and tried some of their delicious breakfast sandwiches while my friends also tried some of their coffee. We were able to sit, and people watch as we enjoyed our food. They have tons of delicious pastries to choose from and one can get extremely excited just looking at what they have to offer. We were not disappointed by the food and thought it was delicious! The customer service was exceptional and welcoming, and the restaurant was clean. I would recommend this place to stop and get you some breakfast and coffee, you will not be disappointed!

I was honestly kind of speechless with how much I enjoyed my breakfast.. Service for me was…read moreunfortunately pretty slow, but I was shocked to find that the wait was well worth it. I also know that the time I went was quite busy in Rome overall, so I don't fully fault them. Give this place a try! Highlight: Ciambella Fritta

Great little cafe with very tasty pastries…read more This cafe is very close to our hotel and unfortunately we discovered it two days before we leave. Everything was very yummy, my boyfriend got two little pastries that he claimed to be the best he had in Rome (I couldn't take the photos cuz he ate them so fast). Will definitely visit this cafe everyday until we leave.

After our disappointment of our first night's dinner in Rome, we wanted a sweet ending and found…read morethis Patisserie located pretty close to our hotel and yay! The food and service here was so much better than the restaurant! The lady who helped us cheerfully explained all the various biscuits and desserts they make in house, including a special dessert made with chestnut flour that I really liked. Their chocolate and strawberry shortcake like dessert was fantastic - the cream was so fresh, it was delicious. The cannoli and the pistachio cream deserts were good too. Of the cookies/ biscuits, the plain variety was more to my taste than the lemon. Everything is €25,00 per kilo, and so it did add up a little bit as wanted to try a lot of things. But I plan to come back before I leave and buy some more of just my favorites! Oh also - there is also one member of the 3 person staff who spoke great English! Yelp 259/ 2018

Near the Vatican this place is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner…read more When you walk in there's this most amazing glass case full of yummy pastries. 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. We came for breakfast and they were smart in presenting us a discount to come back for dinner. They charge for tap water but no cover charge per person! Highly recommend.

Le Levain was such a great find in Rome. It's a tiny spot and definitely a bit tight inside, so we…read morefelt lucky to grab a small table. The whole place has that cozy, neighborhood bakery feel the second you walk in. Super warm, inviting, and just a really good energy overall. The coffee was excellent, one of my favorite cappuccinos I had in the area. The staff was also amazing, really kind and attentive and made the experience even better. We tried the quiche which was delicious, but the standout for me was the caramello. So good. Honestly, this place completely exceeded my expectations and is absolutely worth stopping by.

If you've had gelato in Rome, you already know the standard is different--and Gelateria La Romana…read moreis one of those places that actually lives up to it. Everything tastes super fresh and creamy, and the flavors feel really authentic without being overly sweet or artificial. What I liked most is how consistent it is--whether you go for classics like pistachio or something more indulgent, it always tastes rich and high quality. It's the kind of spot where you can tell they really care about what they're making. The vibe is simple and focused on the gelato itself, not anything flashy, which honestly fits perfectly for a place like this. Always worth stopping by if you're in Rome and want proper gelato.

Ok, here comes the ex-pat with a ho-hum review of what seems like an iconic solid 5 star gelateria…read more It's fun inside, flavors are incentive. And they may even mix well. And very likely using a warm process. Very clean, payment / ordering process is efficient. That's where I say everything is good. The gelato - really not for me. It's very very sweet for my tastes. Which might be fine as it's nothing I would crave to eat more than once in a while - and not more than a few spoonfuls at a time. Not to worry, that's all you're getting anyway as the scoopers seem trained to smooth on your gelato like a thin coat of spackle, without ever filling the hole. That's all. I have to try some more around Rome to see if I'm bringing my untrained perspectives into this forum. As they say.... When in Rome.....
