"A Little Italy fixture since 1891, Caffé Roma is widely acknowledged to be the oldest Italian bakery in New York. They serve a nicely chewy pignoli cookie, though our go-to is the affogato, made with strong espresso and your choice of housemade gelato. But truthfully, you don’t come to Caffé Roma for the food. You come for the well-preserved old-world character: the green tin ceiling, the intricate tile floor, the chandelier, and especially the majestic old clock over the bar. The clock has stopped, which feels appropriate." - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, bryan kim
