Sant'Eustachio Il Caffè
Arguably the best espresso in Rome, served since 1938. The gran caffè is their signature — sweet, creamy, and made with a secret method. Stand at the bar like a local.
Campo de' Fiori to Via Giulia
10 min walk. Browse the morning flower and food market at Campo de' Fiori, then escape down Via Giulia — Rome's most elegant Renaissance street, draped in jasmine and ivy.
Roscioli Caffè Pasticceria
5 min walk back. The bakery arm of the famous Roscioli family. Outstanding cornetti, pizza bianca, and fresh pastries. Grab a table and order the ricotta cornetto.
Venchi
3 min walk. Italian chocolate institution with a gelato-and-chocolate combination that's dangerously good. The chocolate-dipped cone is essential.
Comments
Sant'Eustachio gran caffè is wild, stand at the bar for the full experience. Way cheaper than sitting too
Order it amaro if you don't want sugar, they add it by default
Roscioli ricotta cornetto was the best pastry we had in Rome. Get to Campo de' Fiori market before 10am or the good stuff is picked over
Early risers who want a relaxed, budget-friendly morning date
Saturday morning, 8:30am start
