Despite that, the man who took my order was professional, friendly, helpful and accommodating. And the coffee was so good we came back the next day. I'll miss Rome, and I'll miss this place in particular. When I come back, this will be the first place I come. If you're curious, I had a freddo cappuccino with sugar the first time and a hot chocolate with espresso (what Americans view as a simple mocha) the second time.

In the 4 times that I've visited Rome, Sant Eustachio never fails to impress me. Every visit, we manage to be here once or twice. Have tried their Gran capuccino, Monachella, irish coffee, tiramisu. They have pastries to try as well. No seating available inside but a few tables are available outside. Be prepared to be charged table service if you decide to sit down. It can get crowded at times but definitely worth the try and wait. Italians normally stands by the counter to sip their espresso and we've tried that too. Definitely a must go to when in Rome.

We just had coffee here…read more The coffee was fine. The room was nice. This is a good place. * * * I am using this review to walk back an argument I made in my review of Max's Bar on Via Po here in Rome. I said in that review that you should take your coffee straight in Rome because the basic coffee is so damm good. The basic coffee IS damm good. You will never go wrong with having a plain ordinary espresso. * * * On this particular day, I was dying of thirst and needed something more liquid than a basic espresso. So I ordered a Cappuccino Freddo. Subsequent experiments with Cappuccino Freddo's replicated the extraordinary results I got at Lungara 1940. Cappuccino Freddo is an amazing drink. * * * A cappuccino freddo is essentially a triple flat white served cold. Hot cappuccinos for whatever reason don't work this way. The cappuccino freddo captures 100% of the flavor of the espresso. (Flat whites do the same). So you are losing none of the amazingness of Italian coffee. You are also getting one of the most refreshing drinks on the planet. You are also solving the fundamental problem with flat whites. They are always small. An espresso is so strong and bitter (or muddy) that small is completely fine. A flat white is a beverage rather than an intense fight with bitterness or mud. So you kind of want a whole glass of it. A cappuccino freddo IS a whole glass of it. And the taste of the espresso is with you for every single solitary drop. I am completely and totally in love. * * * If you go to Lungara 1940, you will be happy with your Cappuccino Freddo. But once I started drinking those, nearly everyone who served me one, served me a good one. This is as reliable a pleasure as hazelnut gelato. * * * Drink Italian Coffee. Be happy. And you will have the get up and go to go see another thirteen neighborhoods before dinner. There is a lot to see in Rome.

We can handle a bit of walking and find somewhere close and local for coffee and perhaps brunch later. After all, this is Rome, right?
