    After eating non-stop carbs and cheese, we decided we needed a smoothie for breakfast. The husband…read morefound this gem in the neighborhood we were staying in. The cafe is adorable and very welcoming. The cashier did her best to help to help us translate their menu in Italian to English. I needed something with ginger since my body was punishing me for the amount of carbs and dairy we've been eating. She was able to recommend a smoothie for both the husband and I. The smoothies were amazing !! Not too thick or thin. It was exactly what we needed. I believe the one I had carrots, ginger, melon, and arugula or some other leafy green. We both drank our smoothies up quickly. The cafe had a pretty big menu for food as well drinks. Seems like a great place to grab a healthy meal or drink. Very welcoming, cozy and chill. I did see a SoFar Sounds sticker there. My assumption they probably host small live music shows there. If we lived here, I think we would definitely become regulars here.

    I honestly don't know why this place doesn't have more five star reviews. My sister and I came here…read moreone morning for something besides typical Italian food. We both got a juice, and they were amazing. Absolutely so fresh. The gentleman and women working there were so helpful and kind. It's a funky cafe with jazz music playing. We did not have time to sit and eat there but everything we saw looked amazing. A great caffe

    This place has been here for over 100 years according to the current owner! He has owned it since…read more2007. I was researching granitas and found that there is something else called a grattachecca. Found an old book that talked about how there used to be grattachecca kiosks all over Rome but as of august 2016 - there are only 3 left!!!!! Grattachecca is when they shave ice off of a huge block and then flavor it with syrup. It's different then a granita (a much more common iced drink) because the ice is much chunkier and you eat it with a spoon until your ice melts. They have at least 30 flavors that go right on top: strawberry, mint, pomegranate, orange, etc. I came here about midnight and just loved the experience. A brightly colored street kiosk with a variety of tasty drinks and cold goodies to enjoy on a hot summer night. So when I asked for a grattachecca - he pulled it out a huge block of ice and placed it on the counter and then used a stainless steel tool to shave ice right off the top and put it into a clear plastic cup. He then added strawberry and mint syrup to it and ....Buon appetito!!! Soooo good!!

We asked what flavors we should get and the guy working there was very friendly and accommodating. He made good suggestions, he asked how we liked it and made adjustments based on that. We ended up with one orange and lemon one with chunks of coconut and a cherry and raspberry one with fresh lemon juice, coconut and high-quality marinated cherries. It reminded me of being at a good cocktail bar. The seating is quite nice, shady, and you can see the Supreme Court across the Tiber, although it's a bit loud due to the road right there.
