    The villa was gorgeous and the restaurant right outside the villa was amazing! Couldn't find the name but definitely try the outdoor restaurant on the right side as you exit the villa. They gave some great recommendations and we all tried new Italian cuisine.

    The menu/sign on the door.

    This little eatery has charm, great prices, and great location. Everything else left a lot to be desired. The plain bread with no oil or vinegar was some how both rock hard and chewy. Barely edible. We had to go through 3 different items from the menu before we got one they weren't sold out of. At 1 in the afternoon. My friends were happy with thier pasta dishes. Not the ones they wanted of course, but the ones they settled for. I ordered the carpaccio. Which was not carpaccio. Their carpaccio is a lie. They put slimey roast beef deli meat on a plate with cheese, greens, and oranges. Carpaccio is supposed to be raw. It didn't even taste good. This osteria, and thier cook, should be ashamed of themselves. I would give them a one star, but they get a point for the pasta and the ambiance.

    Carbonara

    Don't let the name fool you! It's right across from Villa d'Este and may seem like it could be a tourist trap, but it's not! We were met with lovely service and delicious food. We started with beautiful bruschetta with wonderfully fresh tomatoes. We also had the local red wine which was light but great. I also had carbonara that was to die for! This was definitely my favorite pasta since visiting Italy so far.

    La Casa del Tazza d'Oro - Granita di cafe con doppio panna (frozen coffee slush with whip cream)

    What a lovely place to relax and cool off from traipsing around Rome! The coffee granita was…read moredelicious and tasty! Service was quick and again lovely! granita with a view of the pantheon... cannot go wrong I can't wait to go back one day

    If you're looking for a classic Roman coffee experience, La Casa del Caffè Tazza d'Oro is…read moredefinitely one to add to your list. Located just steps from the Pantheon in Piazza della Rotonda, this historic coffee bar has been a Roman institution since 1946 and is especially known for its coffee, which has helped make it one of the city's most famous cafés. The line was pretty long when we arrived, but it moved surprisingly quickly. You can enjoy your coffee and pastries inside while standing at the counter, or, if you're lucky, grab one of the few seats available inside. There's also outdoor seating, but keep in mind that sitting outside comes with a separate--and if I remember correctly, significantly higher--service charge. I'll be honest--I'm pretty sure I ordered the wrong thing. I ended up with what was essentially a frosty coffee ice cream, which is not what I was going for, lol. I was supposed to order the Granita di caffè con panna, which is their signature. It's a coffee granita--essentially finely shaved/frozen coffee--topped with whipped cream. Instead of whipped cream, I accidentally told my Italian nephew I wanted the coffee with ice cream, whoops. I also ordered a maritozzo, which I was absolutely on a mission to try while in Rome. The maritozzo is a traditional Roman sweet bun filled generously with whipped cream, and it did not disappoint. I was in a bit of a rush, so I didn't have time to enjoy my maritozzo there. I packed it up and ate it later that evening, and it was still delicious. I've also essentially given up coffee completely, so I only had a few bites and sips of my coffee ice cream, but what I tried was really good. The menu is fairly large and varied, and it can feel a little overwhelming when you're standing at the counter with a line behind you. I'd recommend taking a look at the menu ahead of time if you can so you have an idea of what you want before you get up to order. Overall, I'd definitely recommend stopping by. Tazza d'Oro is an institution, the location is hard to beat, and there's something fun about experiencing one of Rome's longtime coffee traditions--even if you accidentally order the wrong thing like I did!
