The whole place has that cozy, neighborhood bakery feel the second you walk in. Super warm, inviting, and just a really good energy overall. The coffee was excellent, one of my favorite cappuccinos I had in the area. The staff was also amazing, really kind and attentive and made the experience even better. We tried the quiche which was delicious, but the standout for me was the caramello. So good. Honestly, this place completely exceeded my expectations and is absolutely worth stopping by.

Picking up a couple little dessert treats on the way home. A fruit tart for a big gathering. It's all done so well that I can't help but go back again and again. The coffee bar is always crowded in the morning but it's one of the great, fun experiences of the neighborhood, if not the city, to elbow your way up to the counter to make your order. I'm an American living in Monteverde for several months and Dolci Desideri is one of my favorite things about Rome. The coffee and daily pastries are pretty affordable, like you would find all over Rome, for a euro or less. The bigger tarts and cakes and so forth can get a bit pricey, but I think they're generally worth it.

This is no ordinary pizza place, it's a forno, which is Italian for oven. Naturally, someone here looked at the bread, looked at the toppings, and said, Yes, this shall be pizza now. We kicked things off with the Margherita, the classy queen of pizzas, literally. Named after Queen before Italy decided to liberate itself, this was your classic tomato-mozzarella-basil situation. Red, Green and White like the Italian Flag. Regal. Nostalgic. Tastes like a monarchy that actually works. Then came the potato pizza, which, let me tell you, was a surprise carb ambush. Like, Oh cute, a slice of starch on starch. Bread with potatoes on it. For when your body is craving a food coma. And then came the Marinara, my personal Roman romance. No cheese, all attitude. Spicy, saucy, simple. Like that one ex who was too intense but kind of unforgettable. Let's talk style: Roman pizza is not your floppy Neapolitan mess that folds into a pizza burrito the moment it hits your plate. No no, Roman pizza stands its ground. It's a little thicker and definitely crunchier. You don't need to roll it, cradle it, or whisper encouragement. It just is. And I love it more than I probably should. La Renella is where bread goes to find its higher purpose which is to be pizza.

If I didn't know that I needed to leave a lot of room in my belly since this was only one of the many stops, I would've eaten more! Valentina did an amazing job telling us the story about this local bakery which also baked bread to other local businesses. A very good bakery/pizzeria!

This is also an ideal spot for pizza by the slice, baked here freshly, with a huge variety on offer. Naturally, Farinando stays open at lunchtimes and if pizza by the slice isn't your thing, you can also get small snack pizzas and even a porchetta sandwich. The confectioner's counter is pretty good too - lots of biscuits and cakes on offer here, although the prices are high. Excellent seasonal products can be found here however, especially at Easter and Christmas. The handsome fridges at the back are also full of milk and other food items so it works as an emergency shopping spot in case you run out of pasta or Nutella. The staff are friendly and manage to serve long queues keeping everyone in a fairly good mood! Recommended.
