The bartender made the best coffee and I think I am in love. I would definitely return when in Rome. The Cafe had a good atmosphere and a lot of locals go here so you know the croissants and coffee will be good. The coffee was delicious and food was very tasty. The croissant was fresh and delicious. The Cafe had a good atmosphere and I would recommend if in the Janiculum Hill area. Definitely is worth the visit.

I really liked the atmosphere, humble guys working there, they did a hot chocolate for the first time with soy milk as I'm quite intolerant for normal milk, and it was awesome. They gave us some sweets were good too.

The Aperol was very tasty and refreshing. The atmosphere wasn’t the best, but it’s still a nice place to relax.

Famous rendezvous near the American and the Spanish academies. Generations of Romans call it Home. Great area for a quiet Lunch on the run.
