Mini pizza

Stumbled upon Gran Caffe Rione VIII... to our luck. Only five reviews so far on Yelp and it's totally outstanding. We ordered and then saw more things to order and then ordered even more. Very very tasty. See the photos. Try it out.

We stumbled into this adorably chic cafe/wine bar in the Jewish Quarter, because we were starving and wanted a quick bite to eat. What a glorious surprise!!! Not only were the chocolate and cream-filled croissants the most magnificent we've ever had (& we've had LOTS!), the cafe also had wine (including natural wine), craft beer, cocktails, huge selection of coffees, many other delicious pastries, pizza, sandwiches, pastas & side vegetables, a chocolate counter (also packaged to-go as gifts), and the most incredible atmosphere with walls lined from floor to ceiling with wine. We were out and about that day, but had we not been on the move, we would have stayed and eaten and drank more! And the people working behind the bar were so kind and nice. Absolutely go there any time of day! We can't wait to go back the next time we're in Rome to hang and try out their amazing wine selections!

Two cappuccinos and two amazing pastries

The most delicious pastries and friendly staff! Also have an amazing wine collection. This place is friendly to tourists and you will see tons of locals coming in and out. Counter service or sit down. Cool brick building and inviting atmosphere. Relax and enjoy.

Very good ambiance. Friendly staff. They have a bit of everything- wine, cocktails, coffee, pastries, sandwiches, pizza. And they have craft beer. Go get some!

Rome, Italy Jewish Quarter Great spot in Rome to grab breakfast, located steps away from our hotel but hidden away and a place where the locals go versus tourists. Great coffee, pastries, no time to make a dent into all of the incredible looking pastries...a discovery here which I am so glad we got to try before heading out of town....the tramezzino sandwich...sliced boiled eggs, arugula, mayo, tomato served on a large triangular crustless bread, like a GIANT tea sandwich, made for a great breakfast treat! The cafe has bar service were you can stand and have your breakfast in pastries and coffee or you can have tables service in there is an extra charge as listed on my picture. This cafe also serves lunch and dinner but we were not around during those times to try it out. The inside of this cafe is nice and clean and modern. Absolutely loved our visits here!

Cheese and meat!!! A rosé spritz and Knob creek!
Erwin R.

Came here once we arrived in Rome. First I just want to say the staff is extremely friendly and so helpful for tired travelers. Our experience made us come back for drinks and regroup to plan on what we we do for the rest of the evening. The spritz they made for my wife was top tier excellent. I tip my hat off to the staff, I watched them help other guests and not once did the service change. Salvadoré was out go to while we were here!!!

Ham and cheese like you've never had. Will make you cry

I've traveled enough to know that service in Rome operates differently than back home, and I…read moregenuinely make allowances for that. This was something else entirely. We had a reservation at 8pm and were seated promptly -- a good start. Then nothing. Twenty-five minutes passed without a single staff member approaching our table. We had to flag someone down, who initially brushed us off before eventually returning. Wine came quickly once ordered, but food didn't arrive until 9:45 -- over an hour after ordering. In that time, we watched two other couples leave without ever being spoken to, and a third ordered drinks, waited, and walked out. When our drinks ran dry, staff walked by multiple times without a glance. When we finally caught someone's attention, the response was a dismissive "yeah yeah, one second." That kind of attitude wears thin fast. The food was fine -- not bad, not memorable. Bruschetta, eggplant parmigiana, and white lasagna were all acceptable, but nothing came close to justifying the wait or compensating for the experience. The wine list is impressively extensive, though navigating hundreds of options via QR code in dim lighting is its own challenge -- a printed list would go a long way. Maybe we caught them on a bad night. Maybe they cater primarily to locals and tourists aren't a priority. Either way, Trastevere is full of excellent options where you'll feel welcome. I'd walk down the street before returning here.

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.

I was disappointed with the bread and cookies we purchased. It's difficult to do everything well. Perhaps narrowing on one specialty is best, but I'm old school. I miss the days of the fruit store, the formaggi shop, the wine merchant, etc. Everyone was lovely at Il Gianfornaio, and reminded me of how my American education was lacking. I can only speak English and a smattering of French. The merchants at Il Gianfornaio spoke English better than me. That was embarrassing.
