A local’s guide to the best breakfast in Rome: cafes and bakeries to have on your bucket list, affordable food spots and the best maritozzo in Rome!
Well, after three years spent living in Rome, on and off, I always find myself with eyes wide and mouth salivating when I’m facing a bakery or a coffee shop I didn’t know about.
I’ve already told you a bit about food in Rome, with the best halal restaurants in Rome with Muslim-friendly food spots.
In terms of famous desserts from Rome, I have personnally found quite a few spots that I consider to be the best.
There are of course lots of amazing bakeries and cafes in Rome that offer some really tasty cornetto filled with pistachio cream, custard cream, and other Nutella goodies.
I always keep an open mind about trying out new breakfast spots in Rome, though – because why should I limit myself?
So here are over 20 spots for you to taste delicious Roman breakfast, from the classic cornetto to the proper maritozzo con la panna 🙂
Breakfast in Rome: 25+ Cafes and Bakeries You Shouldn’t Miss
I really want you to be able to find the best breakfast in Rome when you visit the city. If you’re a digital nomad moving to Italy, congratulations!
You’ll find the best coffee in Rome, and I promise you, breakfast food in Italy is some of the best I’ve ever tried.
After living in Paris and London, being able to find authentic desserts from Rome in lots of little bakeries was a dream come true.
I’ve always been a foodie, and always will be. Some of the places I’ll mention here not only serve the best breakfast in Rome, but I’ve also visited them time and again when I was looking for cafes to study in Rome.
Best Cafes in Rome: Fatti di Farina, Torpignattara
In the East of Rome, and with no fewer than two locations in the Torpignattara neighborhood, you will find the incredible Fatti di Farina.
A mix between a coffee shop (with decently-sized terraces as well!) offering anything from delicious maritozzi to colorful cornetti and ginseng caffè, pizzeria, meat shop and bakery, Fatti di Farina is currently one of my favorite places to have breakfast in Rome.
And it seems like both locals and tourists love this place, as I have seen many non-locals having breakfast there before leaving Rome for the last time.
Fatti di Farina also serves lunch, dinner and drinks, all simply delicious.
If you’re planning to pop by Torpignattara (and you should, it’s one of the best spots for street art in Rome!), don’t miss out on Fatti di Farina – the one on Via Galeazzo Alessi is the best!

Best Cafes in Rome: Old Moon, Circonvallazione Gianicolense
The Old Moon cafe is probably one of the lesser known cafes in Rome, and it’s easy to understand why, as it’s located in the Gianicolense neighborhood, after Trastevere and Monteverde.
It’s true you’ll find plenty of places to eat in Trastevere and Monteverde, but for exceptional pastries, the Old Moon cafe is a must-visit.
Villa Doria Pamphili, one of Rome’s most magical parks, is easily accessible by walk or bus – and another place I can’t rave about enough.
Now, if you’re planning a full day in the area and looking for other free places to visit, don’t forget to enjoy the soothing beauty of Villa Sciarra, another stunning park located a stone’s throw away from Villa Doria Pamphili on foot.
Before that, though, breakfast at the Old Moon cafe is probably one of the best choices you’ll make in the day – and the huge selection of pastries is simply mouthwatering!

Best Breakfast in Rome: Rossi Tiziano, Via Palestro
The Bar Rossi Tiziano has a special place in my heart.
I’ve considered it one of the best cafes in Rome ever since I moved to the city back in 2021, and lived at the nearby Yellowsquare Hostel.
There, you should definitely try the conchiglie, seashell-shaped pastries filled with Nutella, pistachio, milk cream, or a mix of milk cream and cherry jam.
Many tourists tend to stay around the Termini area during their first trip, and for an excellent breakfast, I can’t recommend the Bar Rossi Tiziano enough.
You can also have good lunch there, but if you’re planning to have breakfast and find the conchiglie pastries, come as early as possible as they are really popular!

Best Cafes in Rome: Molino Bakery, Santa Maria Maggiore
On the other side of the Termini station and a few steps away from the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, you will find Molino Bakery – which I’ve mentioned a few times already on The Working Line.
Molino Bakery is a great study cafe (and if you’ve been to Rome before, you know they’re few and far between), which power outlets in some of the seats, and the breakfast options are great.
No matter when I visit, I know I will enjoy amazing bombe alla Nutella, maritozzi, cornetti al pistacchio, and even gorgeous pizza for lunch.
A great, great spot to have on your bucket list, especially because you’re bound to find yourself near the Termini station at one point or another!

Best Cafes in Rome: Trecaffè, Via dei Due Macelli
Trecaffè on Via dei Due Macelli is another perfect spot to have breakfast in Rome as it’s located a few minutes away from the famous Piazza di Spagna.
If you’re planning to visit the area and go shopping on Via del Corso after breakfast, do visit this small, rustic-style coffee shop where fresh juices, decadent ginseng caffè and perfect crostate (small fruit or chocolate pies) are available all day long.
I will mention another branch of the Trecaffè coffee shop further down this guide – but if you’re in the center of Rome, this one is a cute place to visit for a quick snack.

Best Breakfast in Rome: Dar Ciriola, Pigneto
Since I live in Torpignattara, I am really close to the colorful Pigneto neighborhood, where you’ll find a collection of cafes, restaurants, street art spots and gorgeous streets to spend the day.
Located on Via Pausania, in one of the hidden corners of the Pigneto area, you will find one of the very best cafes in Rome, and one I only discovered a few months ago: Dar Ciriola.
Open from 7 am till late at night, every day of the week, Dar Ciriola is a coffee shop, a restaurant and a bar all rolled into one.
The few tables on the street make it an even more perfect place to have breakfast, or a lazy brunch at weekends – a local spot with quirky decor that you shouldn’t miss for the world.

Best Cafes in Rome: Double Wide Bar, Torpignattara
Back to Torpignattara, you will find on Via di Acqua Bullicante the Double Wide Bar coffee shop, another one of those really local places you wouldn’t initially think would belong to a guide to Rome’s best cafes…
And yet!
In this cafe, where I am still a regular, I have eaten countless red berry, sugar and pistachio croissants – more than my stomach could handle, at times, but they’re just that good.
In addition, the owners are really friendly, and there are a few tables on the street where you can just chill while having breakfast and enjoying life passing by.
PS. One of Rome’s most unique shops, Rometone, is located about 5 minutes away on foot – and a shop you cannot miss whether you’re looking for souvenirs or new home decor!

Best Cafes in Rome: L’Antica Ciriola, Via dei Quintili
Via dei Quintili is one of the street art spots you shouldn’t miss in Rome; a long street with many murals and tasteful art pieces.
Then, along this street, you will find L’Antica Ciriola, a coffee shop, bakery, and restaurant with absolutely gorgeous pastries and bread.
What I love the most about this place is their maritozzi, these little cream-filled buns which, at L’Antica Ciriola, taste and look more like our French chouquettes, a sugar-covered choux pastry.
There are a few tables inside and outside, and L’Antica Ciriola is open every day but on Sundays; a place to try absolutely, once again, if you’re looking for the best cafes in Rome!

Best Breakfast in Rome: Testaccino, Testaccio
Open from 6.30 am till 10 pm every single day of the week, Testaccino is one of the cutest cafes I’ll mention today; the leather slash wooden decor gives a strong character to the coffee shop.
Testaccino doubles as a good place to study in Rome, but there are limited hours – you can only study there from:
- 6.30 am to 12 pm
- and from 3 pm till 5 pm
At lunch and happy hour, all laptops, books and notebooks must be gone, and if there’s one thing I can recommend, it’s Testaccino’s mini sandwiches, full of flavor and great for a snack.
We’re located close to two hidden gems of the Testaccio neighborhood, too:
- The Rome is More shop, great for quirky souvenirs and home decor
- The Fountain of the Amphoras, a true symbol of the neighborhood
Best Cafes in Rome: Trecaffè, Via Leone IV
Close to the Vatican, you will find another branch of the Trecaffè coffee shop, which is my absolute favorite cafe to work and to have breakfast in Rome.
The maritozzi there are great, as are the bombe alla crema and pistachio pies – anything and everything you will try at Trecaffè is delicious.
You also have mini filled doughnuts there, which are a weakness of mine, and gorgeous here…
The coffee shop becomes quite busy during spring and summer, which means the prices go up a little bit (something you’ll only notice if you’re a regular, though), but every single item is still very much worth it.
Plus, if you’re looking for restaurants near the Vatican, lunch at Trecaffè is fresh and just as delicious as the breakfast bits.
But if you’d rather something different, you’ll find the Pescaria restaurant next door, with all its fresh fish specialties and seafood burgers!

Best Cafes in Rome: Canova Tadolini, Via del Babuino
One of Rome’s best hidden gems, the Canova Tadolini coffee shop on Via del Babuino is easily accessible from Via del Corso and Piazza di Spagna.
It’s one of the only places where you’ll see so many sculptures in Rome brought together, in the Canova Tadolini workshop.
This is a dreamy, oh-so-dreamy place, and one of the fanciest coffee shops in Rome in terms of prices as well.
However, even if you’re only looking for free things to do in Rome while you’re here, do keep some budget for a coffee at Canova Tadolini.
The collection of statues is so amazing that all you want to do is observe them for hours!

Best Breakfast in Rome: Burro Cream & Coffee, Circonvallazione Casilina
Between the Via Casilina and the Pigneto neighborhood, behind unassuming doors, you will find a coffee shop with vintage decor and a sweet name: Burro Cream & Coffee.
I would recommend you come as early as possible, as the coffee shop is quite small, local, and pastries tend to fly off the shelves.
I am a regular at Burro Cream & Coffee, and have fallen in love with the very ‘grandma-style’ decor at first sight.
Fresh cornetti and great caffè latte, amazing muffins and all kinds of pastries are available here; if you’ve never been to the Pigneto area, you’ll see – Burro Cream & Coffee is a must-try!
Best Cafes in Rome: Snack Bar, Via di Acqua Bullicante, 9
In Torpignattara, another coffee shop I often have breakfast at is the Snack Bar on Via di Acqua Bullicante – unassuming, but very pretty and filled with great pastries and food specialties to bring back home.
To be honest, this Snack Bar probably has another name but I’ve never really understood what it was.
What I did understand is that the ginseng caffè there is quite strong, delicious, and the pastries are just fresh enough in the morning to wake me up properly…
And of course, there is a terrace!
A couple of minutes away on foot, you will find my favorite Tigota shop – a must-visit to buy beauty and makeup in Rome!
Best Cafes in Rome: Crema e Cioccolato, Togliatti
Taking the bus to the Togliatti/Bardanzellu stop and walking just a couple of minutes will lead you to a very local, very secret cafe called Crema e Cioccolato – a dreamy name for dreamy place!
We’re on Viale Ettore Franceschini, in the Colli Aniene neighborhood, which is quite far from the center of Rome, but my experience in this coffee shop is such that I had to share it.
Crema e Cioccolato is best known for its gelato, pastries and cakes, but for breakfast, it’s also a picturesque place to visit.
The fact that it’s located outside of the city center means it’s usually quieter, and a perfect place to come and read or write during the afternoon, too.

Best Breakfast in Rome: Martinucci Laboratory, Termini Station
Inside the Termini station, you have the last one of the best cafes in Rome – one you should visit whether you’re arriving or leaving, seriously.
Martinucci Laboratory is a coffee shop I’ve visited a lot over the years, and even ordered from when I used to live in the Monti Tiburtini area and was, hence, living too far to get my breakfast there on the regular.
Pasticciotti, a specialty from Lecce, are available there with many different flavors; the best being cream and cherry.
Every single croissant recipe at Martinucci Laboratory is better than the previous one, and if you’re looking for a shop to get the best pistachio cream in Rome, you’re going to have to pop in.
The only downside is that since Martinucci Laboratory is located inside the station, there are few seats and most people eat at the counter, Italian-style.
But it’s still one of the very best cafes in Rome, unmissable, unforgettable, and simply decadent.

Best Breakfast in Rome: C’era una Volta il Caffè
C’era una volta il caffè… I don’t even know where to begin.
For sure, the best breakfast in Rome.
It’s one of those local coffee shops located in San Lorenzo, on Via Tiburtina, a long street that start near Termini.
Just a few minutes’ walk, and you’ve got some of the best coffee in Rome.
There are a few tables outside of C’era una volta il caffè, but as in many of the best cafes in Rome, you’re kind of expected to eat fast while you’re sitting or standing at the counter.
That’s it, the Italian breakfast food culture is such, and I’ve learned to enjoy that morning ritual in just a few minutes before I got on with my day, except in big cafes in Rome where you can work and study.
C’era una volta il caffè (literally translated, once upon a time coffee) was one of my favorite surprises in Rome.
I used to visit a student workspace nearby when I started my first travel blog, and I would often visit this coffee shop to get breakfast in Rome.
What’s not to like? It’s central, almost only known by locals, and the cornetti and bombe alla Nutella they serve are out of this world.
Defo one of my favorite coffee shops when I’m looking for the best breakfast in Rome. Plus, once you’re done, if you want to see amazing street art in Rome, San Lorenzo is one of the best neighborhoods to do so.

Best Breakfast in Rome: Sant’ Eustachio Il Caffè
I remember the first time I visited Sant’ Eustachio il Caffè.
At that time, I had no idea that the cafe served not only the best coffee in Rome but some of the most famous breakfast food in Italy. There, for sure, you’ll find a filled cornetto to satisfy your wildest dreams.
I first tried Sant’ Eustachio il Caffè with my younger sister.
These were some of our first days in town, and we were looking for the best places to eat breakfast in Rome.
I believe we were walking around Campo de’ Fiori or the Pantheon – in any case, both are located super close to the coffee shop.
We decided to take a little break and have some breakfast, and we saw Sant’ Eustachio il Caffè, located in a slightly secluded piazza.
It was cute, there were some seats available outside on the terrace, and that’s all we needed to have the best breakfast in Rome between sisters.
Sant’ Eustachio il Caffè serves some of the best coffee in Rome, and tourists and locals alike queue to buy some bags of coffee beans to make Sant’ Eustachio coffee at home.
The 1938-established Roman cafe is perfect if you just want to have a little breakfast and keep going to see some monuments and free museums in Rome afterward.
It’s quite fast-paced, and lots of locals visit it on a daily basis to grab some of the best breakfast in Rome – really a local place that you should visit while you’re in the city.

Best Breakfast in Rome: Caffè Faro
I mentioned Faro Caffè in my guide to the best cafes to work in Rome, and I stand by what I said in this guide.
This is definitely a cafe that serves the best coffee in Rome, artisan-made from delicious fresh beans.
Faro Caffè is located a few minutes away on foot from the Termini station, so you can have a little walk there before sitting down in the quaint coffee shop.
If you’re looking for the best breakfast in Rome, you’ll be well-served at Faro Caffè.
First off, the cornetti are filled with custard, Italian pistachio cream, marmalade, and Nutella,… You’ve got it all.
There are lots of pastries small enough that you can order two as well, and the type of bomba alla Nutella (filled doughnuts with Nutella, one of my favorite desserts from Rome) that I’m so fond of.
The specialty coffee place is famous in all of Rome, and even outside of the city. How could it not be, given that the coffee is incredibly smooth and tasty there?
It’s located between Termini and La Rinascente (the equivalent of Selfridges in London, or Printemps in Paris), so you can do a bit of high-end shopping after eating.

Best Breakfast in Rome: Meeting Place Bologna
I did not think that the Meeting Place in Piazza Bologna would offer some of the best breakfast in Rome when I passed the threshold a few weeks ago.
On my last visit to Rome, I had one goal: trying some of the best breakfast in Rome without actually visiting the bakeries, pastry shops, and coffee shops I’m used to.
At Meeting Place, we discovered one of the very best cafes in Rome, with a huge terrace, and a type of coffee I’d never tried before: ginseng coffee (caffè ginseng).
Far from being the bitter taste I’d expected, ginseng coffee is sweet and delicious, and we ended up asking for it in all the coffee shops and bakeries we visited for the rest of our stay.
In addition, you’ll find at Meeting Place great art, and some of the best pastries in Rome, with my ultimate favorite, la bomba alla Nutella.

Best Breakfast in Rome: Dolce Rotonda
Located right off the Pantheon, which is but a gorgeous place to visit in Rome although it’s not free anymore, Dolce Rotonda is a favorite of mine.
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve eaten their delicious maritozzo con la panna, and also go every chance I get to get lost in my thoughts among rushy tourists.
Prices go up a little during the summer, like at Trecaffè, but I can’t emphasize enough how great this little coffee shop is.
Especially since, if you’d like to bring back some food goodies home, you’ll find a few gift ideas there!
Best Breakfast in Rome: Pasticceria Romoli
I first came across Pasticceria Romoli while on a shopping spree across Rome.
I was trying to find my favorite Equivalenza perfumes in an Equivalenza shop that would be open during the summer holidays.
This brought me around the Libia neighborhood, where I was advised to try the best maritozzi in Rome at Pasticceria Romoli, which has been around since 1952.
I can’t begin to explain just how gassed I was to find one of the best bakeries in Rome, and probably one of the most famous, without having even looked for it!
That’s why I’d definitely urge you to try it if you’re walking around in Rome and looking for hidden gems – there’s so much to choose from that you’re bound to find something you love.

Best Breakfast in Rome: Mister C
Located close to the Policlinico station, just a few stops away from Termini, Mister C is probably one of the most underrated spots when it comes to getting the best breakfast in Rome.
Since I stayed at a hostel right in front of the Mister C Pasticceria e Gelateria, I had breakfast three or four times there in the span of just 7 days.
And I can guarantee you that given the price, we ordered three to five pastries every single day, along with caffe latte, cappuccino, and ginseng coffee.
So you want to find the best breakfast in Rome?
In the quiet universitarian area that is Policlinico, Mister C is one of the best-hidden gems in Rome.

Best Cafes in Rome: Forno Feliziani
If you’re looking to have breakfast near the Vatican Museums at a super affordable price, then you’re going to have to pay a visit to Forno Feliziani.
A pizzeria slash coffee shop offering a wide – wide – array of pastries, types of coffee, and cheap lunch options.
Forno Feliziani is definitely a place to have on your bucket list for the best breakfast in Rome.
If you’ve tried lots of cafes in Rome and want something a bit different, you’ll find so many different pastries at Forno Feliziani that you’ll wonder how you haven’t come across the place sooner.
Best Desserts From Rome: Pasticceria Regoli
Pasticceria Regoli in the Esquilino area needs no introduction amongst locals.
Not only is the bakery slash coffee shop famous for offering the best maritozzi in Rome, but their coffee and pastries are otherworldly.
Open since 1916, this is one of the oldest and best bakeries in Rome for whoever wants to come and grab a delicious breakfast with maritozzo, cornetti, and other baked goods.
Since Pasticceria Regoli is located just a few steps away from the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, that means it’s also close to one of the best cafes to work in Rome, Molino Bakery.
Yet, if you’re not in Rome to study and just want to try a proper Roman breakfast, Pasticceria Regoli is that one-stop shop for Roman pastries you just cannot miss.
Read: The Most Instagrammable Cafes in Rome
Best Bakeries in Rome: Pasticceria Linari
Pasticceria Linari, which I mentioned in another one of my guides to Roman food, is one of the most famous bakeries in Rome.
Located in the Testaccio neighborhood, Pasticceria Linari is best-known among Roman locals.
There, you’ll not only get some of the most affordable maritozzo a Roma but you’ll be surprised at how big the maritozzi are.
If you’d like to try something a little bit different when looking for where to eat in Rome, you’ll find at Pasticceria Linari all kinds of maritozzi, lunch bites, and just amazing snacks all day long.
Best Desserts From Rome: Pasticceria Desideri Basilica San Paolo
Usually, when tourists come to visit Rome, they’ll look for the best bakeries in Rome to have breakfast and coffee but remain near the center of Rome.
And we don’t want that here, on The Working Line. I want you to be able to enjoy the best breakfast food in Italy, and oftentimes, it’s not in the center of the city that you’ll find it.
One of the best places for desserts from Rome is Pasticceria Desideri. How did I come across it? By going to Ostia Lido Beach. When coming from Rome to Ostia, one of the stops you can get off at to change and get the Lido train is Basilica San Paolo.
Once day, I wanted to see what was going on around Basilica San Paolo – was it attractive? Interesting? Lively?
The basilica definitely is one of the must visit things in Rome, but if you’re looking for the best breakfast in Rome, you also have to pay a little visit to Pasticceria Desideri.
Located almost in front of the station entrance, Pasticceria Desideri is open from early in the morning. It offers the most classic Italian breakfast food, as well as tiramisu, cakes, and just beautiful pastries overall.
It’s not even that expensive, and the fact that Pasticceria Desideri is located outside of the center makes it one of the best hidden gems in the city.
I visited this place with my little sister, and remember ordering 4 or 5 cakes, pastries, and cornetti – we did finish everything, helped by some of the best caffè latte I’d ever tried. Really a must-visit if you’re after delicious desserts in Rome.
Read: The Most Instagrammable Cafes in London
Best Breakfast in Rome: Casa Manfredi
Located in Aventino, close to the famous Circo Massimo, Casa Manfredi is probably one of the most… posh pastry shops in Rome, and it deserves every type of highlight it can get.
You’ll get there some of the most delicious cornetti in town, with delicious, creamy coffee to savor while watching the city wake up.
If Casa Manfredi is famous for offering the best breakfast in Rome, there’s no wonder why: the cream used in the pastries is delicate, thick, and leaves a lingering taste on the palate.
It might be a tad pricier than some of the other coffee shops and bakeries in Rome I’ve mentioned in this guide, but it is a top-notch spot for those looking for delicious breakfast in Rome.
Best Breakfast in Rome: Other Places to Eat Roman Maritozzi Con La Panna
Maritozzo Roma: Il Maritozzaro
If you ever fancy a visit to the Sunday Market in Trastevere, the famous flea market Porta Portese, then you’d do well to pass by Il Maritozzaro at the same time.
This is something utterly different, and delicious, and you’ll eat at Il Maritozzaro the best maritozzi in Rome.
Decadent amounts of cream stuff the fluffiest buns in the city, and since the coffee shop is open until late at night, it is truly one of the best spots to get a delicious late-night snack.
One of the most local cafes in Rome, Il Maritozzaro looks nothing like the small instagrammable coffee shops you might find elsewhere in Trastevere.
Since 1960, Il Maritozzaro has offered the best maritozzi in Rome, in addition to plenty of the usual delicious Roman pastries that locals eat for breakfast.
There, you’ll also find cornetti, fagotini, and more of the same stunning breakfast stash right next to the Tiber River and Porta Portese Market.
Best Maritozzi in Rome: Maritozzo Rosso
Want to know where to eat in Rome some of the craziest maritozzi?
You’ll need to pay a visit to Maritozzo Rosso.
It might be one of the priciest places for maritozzi in Rome, at well over €5 for a large maritozzo, but when you see the countless options for savory maritozzi, you won’t think twice before getting one.
A classic of Roman food spots, Maritozzo Rosso has over 30 different fillings for maritozzi available, with polpetti, carbonara, and anchovies lying at the top of the locals’ choices.
If you’re looking for the classic maritozzo a Roma, maritozzo con la panna, of course, you’ll find it at Maritozzo Rosso.
Funnily, even if Maritozzo Rosso is located just a few steps away from the famous Basilica di Santa Maria in Trastevere, it’s still one of the best hidden gems in Rome.
One of the best food spots in Rome for breakfast, lunch, aperitivo, and even dinner, Maritozzo Rosso is a place to have on your bucket list when you’re visiting Rome.
Maritozzo Roma: Roscioli Caffè
Roscioli Caffè is one of the most classic coffee shops to visit if you want to find proper maritozzi in Rome.
It’s located just a stone’s throw away from Campo de’ Fiori, where you’ll also find Tabacafe, another cute spot to have a laidback breakie.
The ingredients used in their maritozzi make all the difference; from Normandy butter to organic Italian flour.
At Roscioli Caffè, the maritozzo con la panna is an institution, a classic that is stuffed with delicious unsweetened cream before your eyes.
However, if you’d like to try something different, Roscioli Caffè also offers different kinds of maritozzi in Rome.
For instance, you can find fillings of Valrhona chocolate, whipped cream, or one of the classic Roman maritozzi with candied fruits and raisins.
Sweet or savory, that’s definitely one of the cafes where you’ll find the best maritozzi in Rome – do try their savory options if you’ve got space; they’re delicious!

Best Maritozzo in Rome: Pasticceria Bompiani
Pasticceria Bompiani is one of the best hidden gems in Rome, and with its location in Tor Marancia, it’s not hard to understand why.
Although you’ll love to find the best pasta in Trastevere and the best breakfast near the Vatican, you should definitely get off the beaten path when visiting Rome.
And Pasticceria Bompiani is a great way to do so, especially if you love finding local Roman bakeries.
Two sizes of maritozzo con la panna are available at Pasticceria Bompiani; if you’d like to try a few other pastries, go for the smaller size.
Anyway, even the bigger size’s price is €2, so you know you’re going to have some of the best maritozzo in Rome for really cheap.
In addition to their stunning maritozzi, for whoever wants to stay faithful to the custard cream-filled cornetti, there are lots of options at Pasticceria Bompiani to savor while sipping on the creamiest cup of coffee in Rome, like their amazing, amazing pastries.
Breakfast in Rome: 25+ Cafes and Bakeries You Shouldn’t Miss
There you have them, all the best bakeries and cafes for the best breakfast in Rome.
As you have seen in this guide, there is a plethora of different desserts and breakfast food you can get in Italy. And I have never been able to choose my favorite.
Although if I have to choose the best coffee in Rome, I’d probably go to Faro, while I would definitely visit Rossi Tiziano near Termini and Trecaffè near the Vatican for cornetti and Italian breakfast food again and again 🙂
