Rome, Italy

About Sciascia Caffè

A hidden gem in Prati with Rome's most intense espresso and a 1919 interior of mahogany, mirrors, and marble that has barely changed. The specialty is caffè e menta — espresso topped with concentrated peppermint syrup. A mandatory detour for anyone staying near the Vatican.

Caffè Sant'Eustachio

Roasting coffee since 1938, Sant'Eustachio is a Roman institution and the city's most revered espresso bar. The granita di caffè (frozen espresso with cream) is the definitive Roman summer drink. The baristas are theatrical; the coffee is extraordinary.

☕

Roscioli Caffè Pasticceria

The café arm of Rome's most celebrated food family — a sleek corner bar in the Campo de' Fiori area serving the city's best cornetti (croissants), extraordinary pastries, and technically flawless espresso. The almond croissant alone is worth getting up early for.
