Con il passare degli anni il locale si evolve cercando di mantenere quegli standard di qualità che sempre lo hanno contrassegnato negli anni. Il segreto è semplice quanto efficace: mantenere sempre la qualità dei prodotti e la soddisfazione dei clienti al massimo livello. Questa semplice idea è quella che cerchiamo di lasciare in tutte le persone ogni volta che vengono a trovarci e, se siamo ancora qui dopo quasi 60 anni, forse vuol dire che ci siamo riusciti. Rocchi non è solo un Bar, Rocchi è un'esperienza che bisogna fare almeno una volta per comprenderla a fondo. Tutti entriamo in un bar almeno una volta al giorno, magari perchè vicino casa o perchè vicino al lavoro, ma quel bar in cui entriamo ogni giorno ci lascia mai qualcosa? Entrare, fare colazione, prendere un caffè, mangiare di corsa e uscire. Cosa caratterizza questa esperienza? Ci rimane qu

This is the best Castroni in Rome…read more The Castroni by the Vatican is the most well-known of the Castroni chain, but it is tiny in comparison to the Balduina-Monte Mario Castroni. This store truly has everything to suit every gastronomical taste. Fresh espresso bar, tramezzini, panini. A great place to take a guest for an afternoon snack. The ideas for gifts are endless here. You can't go wrong giving a box of gourmet candy, and this is where the Monte Mario Castroni really shines. Beautiful fruit candies, either soft or hard chews, are available by the kilo. Plus, you can get amazing boxes of chocolate that are worth their price. Also, if you spend over 50 Euro, you can get a free Castroni tote, too. Spending over 50 is very, very easy to do here.
