Like you, when I moved to Italy, I looked for the best maritozzo a Roma. If you’re looking for just the one best place to buy maritozzi in Rome, though, let me disappoint you…
I have many more that you absolutely need to try!
There are lots of amazing bakeries, cute coffee shops and pastry shops to have breakfast in Rome, too many to count.
Yet, in this guide, I have gathered the top spots to find the typical Roman pastry Maritozzo.
Also called ‘Maritozzo con la panna‘, bun with cream, the maritozzo is one of the most ancient Roman pastries.
With a name derived from the word marito, husband in Italian, the maritozzo has a fun background, to say the least, which dates all the way back to the 1800s.
It’s a huge cream bun that indeed used to be a Roman pastry gifted to a suitor to his bride-to-be on March 1.
Clearly, that background makes it one of the most romantic symbols of Roman history.
Although not all bakeries and pastry shops bake maritozzo, you will find here my favorite addresses.
Among them, bakeries, coffee shops and pastry shops you might actually have seen in other guides about food in Rome.
Some of these breakfast spots are really famous for their Roman maritozzi, while others I’ve come across while roaming around the city in search of things to do in Rome alone.
So if you’re down to find the best maritozzi in Rome, head to one of these bakeries!
Get yourself a decadent maritozzo with some caffè latte, or better yet, a ginseng caffè, one of the latest types of coffee in Rome I discovered on my last trip!
