Top 10 Cafés, Gelaterie and Bars
-
1. Giolitti
This 19th-century landmark café is widely regarded as serving Rome’s best ice cream.
-
2. Café Sant’Eustachio
Another best – this time the best cappuccino . Not surprisingly, the recipe is a closely guarded secret.
-
3. Trinity College
Ever-popular pub off the Corso, with tasty food served upstairs and standard bar downstairs. Outdoor seating.
-
4. Black Duke
A passably genuine Irish pub in a cosy basement, with pub food and, in summer, outdoor seating.
-
5. Gelateria della Palma
A wide selection of ice cream flavours, just off the Pantheon’s square, and open late.
-
6. Tazza d’Oro
Rome’s “House of Coffee” since 1946. A die-hard locals’s joint, serving what devotees swear is Rome’s best coffee (see La Tazza d’Oro).
-
7. Enoteca al Parlamento
Atmospheric and stylish wine bar frequented by politicos from the nearby Italian parliament buildings.
-
8. Capranica
This wine bar-cum-restaurant is just the place for a quick aperitivo or a more leisurely alfresco lunch. The impressively bottle-lined interior shows that this is a serious wine bar with a well-stocked cellar offering a great choice of labels.
-
9. Cremeria Monteforte
A prime tourist position (next to the Pantheon) doesn’t always sound the death knell. This joint guarded by a wooden Pinocchio doorman serves the best fragola (strawberry) ice cream in town and interesting variations such as orange chocolate.
-
10. Pascucci
This is the place with the frothiest milk shakes and smoothies in town. They come in all flavours and in any combination.
