HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! There were multiple bugs/flies in my drink and when I told it to the staff they have not even apologized but told me that it was up to me to notice it immediately and that they cannot do anything. They even brought me my bug infested drink back to the table when I sent it back and placed it back in front of me. When I went to take a photo, that is when they came back with another drink which at this point we refused. FYI were sitting inside in the further room, and no bugs were flying or in the area. They also told me that I should be more rational, because how can they know it was not with me that all those bugs entered the drink. read more

We ate breakfast here this morning. Overall the food was ok. I had a zucchini omelette. I am from the United States so what I got was unexpected. It was more of a pie piece which I would have thought was a Quiche. It tasted ok though. The omelette with tomato plate looked more like an omelette but was also just ok. The pastry is delicious. We had the fruit tart. I think the ambiance is beautiful and what you would expect out of an Italian cafe. The cappuccino is outstanding. I would come here for the pastry and cappuccino to be honest. Seems to be what most people do. The overall best part about the experience was the server. Valentina was here name. She smiled at my kids and asked them their names. Very personal touch. She also tried to provide very good service. read more

After a long day of walking the streets of Rome we stopped in at this cafe for coffee. It's located in Pietra Plaza. We were lucky to get an outdoor table on this mildly sunny day. I ordered an Americana and a cherry tart which I spied in the display case inside. The coffee was smooth yet bold - I don't think I ever had bad coffee in Italy. The cherry tart was delicious. Delivered without utensils, I assumed it was proper etiquette to pick it up and eat it with my fingers. It was slightly sweet with a clear, shiny fruit glaze covering the top which was flavorless but kept the cherry filling from flowing out of the crust once I took bites. The tart crust was perfect and not at all crumbly. Service was pleasant and English was spoken which is always appreciated when you are a guest in the country. A very nice place to sit and relax at a patio table while doing some people watching. read more

Worst Restaurant in Italy Two staff members encouraged us to enter the restaurant; almost pulling us in. Borderline obnoxious. My buddy wanted dessert, I wanted to walk further. I had bad apple strudel. It may have started off flaky but over the day it compressed. Not many apples. Those present were drying out. Espresso was about 2/3rds of a shot. There should be "one way do not enter" signs on both doors. read more

The location in Piazza di Pietra in the heart of Rome (with a view of the historic Temple of Hadrian) is grand, but Gran Caffè, despite its name, is not great. Gran Caffè is ok which is totally a-ok ... and 3-stars. We stopped in for a quick latte and afternoon snack, but left after just trying the weak coffee. Service was limited and void of energy. There was simply too many better and more intriguing coffee shops in Rome for us to waste too much time here. One reason for the awkward experience might of been that we came in the afternoon and the place seemed confused if it was a patio bar, tea room, cafeteria (like the title suggests), coffee shop, or cocktail bar. The dithering offered an opportunity for departure, so, we paid and took our leave. Gran Caffè la Caffettiera is a-ok though it isnt a grand cafe. read more

Very nice breakfast place. Good service and delicious pastries. Omelette is only with cheese and any vegetable you ask is put on the side. Strange twist if you are from the US. But overall awesome place and ambiance. Coffee is amazing. Will wake you up! read more

Un posto incredibile! Non vedo l'ora di tornare. C'è un dolce che ho sempre sognato da più di 2 anni adesso. Si chiama la parigina ed è il mio dolce preferito al mondo. Ci sono 3 tipi ma il mio preferito è quello con la crema dentro. Questo dolce è fatto con pasta sfoglia e il fondo è carmellato. Non ho mai trovato questo dolce in un altro bar. Spero di tornare quest'anno per mangiare la parigina. read more

Amazing wine & apps to go with (apparently gratis). Wifi is non-existent, even though it says that it's there. It's not. Service consistent & actually timely. Waiters are patient & friendly. Can't go wrong. read more

We just popped in for a cappuccino at the stand-up bar. What lovely interior décor. The whole place, including the bathrooms, have a French bistro feel. The cash is in front of wooden display shelves with all manners and flavours of mints and candies. I bought Pastiglie Leone in the spritz flavour - they really do taste like an Aperol spritz! Efficient service both at the bar and at the cash. Now I just need someone to explain why the cameriere responded to me in French... read more

34€ for two sandwiches, two beers and a baileys coffee with cream and Kahlua. It's the the one that looks likes it's in a martini glass, mall but delicious! We had a ham and cheese and a salami and cheeses sandwich. The salami is way better, has a lot more flavor than the ham sandwich. Food was ready fast and waiters are attentive, but somehow disappear when you want the check. Everyone spoke English. It's good for a quick snack. They also sell pastries. Q read more

We were part of the influx of customers who barged in when it started raining. What perfect shelter is a warm cafe with nice seats and comfy sofas? The waiter was very good at handling all the tables that demanded seats, menus and drinks. I liked how they used an electronic tablet to take orders so our orders came pretty quickly, based on how many customers just came in. We were lucky to try the last tiramisu and it's a must try, especially if you are new to Italy/Rome :) read more

Food and service are good. Nice to have a/c. But be careful when ordering off the menu...they told us we could have any type of ice cream and then charged 40% more than the gelato options on the menu. read more
