The restaurant is a little on the pricey side, but you are paying for more than just tea and a meal! You are really paying for a one of a kind experience!

I would live elegantly and sample the finest things in life from around the globe, passing my time like a king among men. But in this world where I exist on the "salary" of a freelance writer, it's hard to taste the good life. Fortunately, Makasar is around for an affordable aperitivo in a lovely space with great service. The place acts primarily as a tea house, and secondly as a bookstore. At night, wine and cocktails are served with small plates of food for under 7€, allowing me to live like Hemingway must have lived in his time: abroad and very much inebriated.

This random lunch spot pick really worked out for us. We were walking towards the Colosseum for our…read moretour and figured we should get something hearty in our bellies before that. We had no idea what was on the way, or what would be open, so we kind of just kept an eye open and checked menus as we walked. We were seated right away on the outdoor patio, our waitress came out to greet us and took our drink orders before giving us time to review the menu. We started with the Trio of Bruschetta (€10). For my main, I can't remember what it was called, but it was a spaghetti-like noodle smothered - swimming - in a buttery, anchovy-y sauce. My husband ordered the ravioli (€15). The food was excellent, exactly what we were hoping for on that hot summer afternoon. The bruschetta trio was a great starter. Our version had one tomato and basil, one mortadella and pistachio and one salmon with avocado. The toasts were crispy, the toppings different and tasty. I liked my pasta dish - I did. But it was just a lot of butter. By the time I was a few forkfuls in, I knew without a doubt I wouldn't be able to finish it. The flavor was really very good: savory and umami and saucy. But it was so SO buttery, my stomach started to tap not long after. My husband absolutely loved his rigatoni meal, making short work of his plate before taking a tentative bite of what was left on mine (he agreed on the flavor, and on the buttery-ness.) All in all a great lunchtime meal ahead of a long day of touring. Definitely would have gone back, had we had extra time.

Their breakfast selection is incredible -- a wide variety of fresh, beautifully crafted pastries that taste just as good as they look. The cappuccinos are perfectly made, rich and balanced, exactly what you'd expect in Italy. What makes this place even more special is that it's not just for mornings. In the afternoon, it transforms into the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed aperitivo in a lovely, cozy setting. The service truly stands out -- the staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and always smiling, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. A must-visit if you're in Rome -- whether it's for breakfast, a coffee break, or a laid-back afternoon drink.
