“ Wow excellent and delicious espresso! Also, very lovely staff! I'd have posted the capichinno or the other snacks but we ate it too quickly. Definitely would recommend. Capichinno- 1.5 euros! ”
“ Best quality to value ratio for coffee in the entire Colosseum area! The service and atmosphere were great. Highly recommend. ”
“ My husband and I came by this wonderful cafe every single morning except the one day they were closed. Every morning the cappuccinos were creamy and delicious. My husband also says that the pistachio croissant is one of the best he's had in all of Italy so far (we've been to Rome and Florence). The staff were welcoming and charming, and by the fourth day they had already memorized what we usually ordered and started it before we were even up to the counter. They even helped me practice my Italian, as I tried to learn a bit before coming to Italy. I loved learning more about how they speak. Thank you for being so wonderful to two random tourists! ”
