Le Levain was such a great find in Rome. It's a tiny spot and definitely a bit tight inside, so we…read morefelt lucky to grab a small table. 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 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.

The reason you should come is that I really think all the pastries were fresh and house made because you can see right into the kitchen as you are sitting down! I could have stayed and watched the baker roll out dough for hours. It was awesome. The treats I got were great as well as my cappuccino, which they were kind about getting for me even with my super-shitty Italian. Totally recommend, and then head over to the Testaccio Market afterward.
