Restaurants in Rome
Sant’ Eustachio Il Caffè
Tucked away in a small piazza and just around the corner from the Pantheon hides one of Italy’s most authentic coffee shops. Founded in 1938, this old-school cafe serves classic Italian staples as well as a mix of more modern concoctions, like whipped espresso foams. With beans sourced from the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Ethiopia, Brazil, then home roasted and blended with water from an ancient aqueduct, try coffee like you’ve never tried it before.
Antigua Tazza d’Oro
Antigua Tazza d’Oro has become a local and tourist favorite alike for their specialty coffee: the granita al caffè. This iced coffee is considered one of the cornerstones of the Sicilian summer. Served with a dollop of whipped cream and a freshly baked brioche on the side, it’s perfect to try when you’re looking for something sweet. Miss trading hours? Visit Antigua’s 24/7 vending machine for those late-night caffeine emergencies.
Panella
Home to more than 70 different artisan breads and pastries, Panella is somewhat of a Roman institution. Known as a local hotspot for artists and directors, this bakery-meets-restaurant-meets-bar has something for everyone. People-watch from the alfresco dining area while you sip on your caffè freddo before topping off your trip by visiting the adjoining curated wine and grocery store. Just a ten-minute walk from the Colosseum, Panella is perfect whether you’re hunting for a morning cornetto, afternoon slice, or evening drink.
