Where to Eat Breakfast in Rome

You have woken up in Rome…what a tantalizing feeling!  Now you are facing the question:  where is the best Roman breakfast place for you to start the day with?

The typical breakfast in Rome is cappuchino with a croissant  or another traditional baked pastry. For those who need a stronger ‘wake-up’ solution, we naturally recommend a cup of espresso instead of cappuchino.

What are the recommended spots for a truly Roman breakfast?

Roscioli Caffe is a paradise for locals’ morning coffee. A small bar located in the vibrant Roscioli restaurant area invites tourists and locals for a fun breakfast featuring Italian-influenced espresso, pastries and dolci that go well with your morning coffee. Italians typically avoid heavy breakfast such as eggs so be prepared to dine on the lighter side and chat with locals to make your Italian breakfast experience truly Roman.  Expect high prices.

The Roscioli Caffe is conveniently located between the Campo de’ Fiori and the Jewish Ghetto.
