Kif Kif | bar (multi) culturale

Live music bar

👍 Good place in the Pigneto area. I recommend their red beer because it's really good (the whole table loved it). The food is good, nothing exceptional. On weekends it's quite difficult to find a table and they don't take reservations, so you have to wait if necessary. Seats both outdoors and indoors....

Caffè Antica Roma

Espresso bar

👍👍 This place is awesome! We had a quick breakfast here before going to the Colosseum. The staff was super friendly, and the coffee and bread were really yummy. Just a heads up, there aren't a lot of tables, so you might have to wait a bit to sit down and eat😅

Riccardo Taliani Banqueting

Espresso bar

👍👍 Visited two days in a row. Once for a take away (in a glass dish that they allowed me to take back - wow! - then gave me a free treat for actually returning it 😊) The next day we had breakfast there and it was a delight. Delicious cappuccino and amazing gluten free pasties! Friendly service as well...

Bar San Marcello

Espresso bar

👍👍 A wonderful place to get coffee not too far from Trevi Fountain. Though I came as a tourist who could not speak Italian, both the local patrons and the staff treated me with kindness. This cappuccino was better than anything from Starbucks...and it was less than €2.00!

Caffè Gotico

👍👍 There is no typical menu, but the staff tell you what is available. You don't have to worry about overpaying because the lunch menu is only 5€ This includes a dish (e.g. pasta), water and coffee. The pastas were really tasty. Everything was so Italian - the food, the atmosphere, the people and the i...

Massi Bar

Espresso bar

👍👍 Excellent bar where you can enjoy a delicious Illy coffee. The peculiarity of the place that really struck me is that the bartender asks how much sugar you want and prepares a spectacular cream for you. If desired, there are tables outside where you can sit and enjoy your coffee in complete tranquil...

👍👍 Would you ever say it's a lactose-free cappuccino? I have tried many in many bars but I have never been served so well and above all with so much foam! Since I discovered it I always have a good excuse to go there! The staff is very kind, the place is very nice and has tables outside! HIGHLY RECOMME...
