Bar barberini

I stopped by Caffè Barberini Marconi for a quick double espresso and had a great experience. While I only tried the coffee — which was rich, well-prepared, and served promptly — I noticed they offer a wide variety of pastries, sandwiches, and snacks that looked fresh and inviting. The café has both indoor and outdoor seating options, making it a versatile spot whether you're looking for a casual coffee break or a light meal. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed — I'd definitely return to explore more of their menu.

A truly authentic Italian café experience. It’s affordable, the food is fresh, and if you stop by early in the morning, the croissants are fantastic—especially the pistachio one, which was absolutely perfect. The staff were incredibly kind and even let us use their giant Nutella jar as a makeshift table when we wanted to sit at a spot without one—such a charming and personal touch. The atmosphere is lovely, with Italian radio playing in the background, adding to the local vibe. Overall, a perfect neighborhood café if you’re looking for something genuinely Italian and unpretentious.

DO NOT COME HERE IF YOU ARE A FOREIGNER. We came to this place after midnight the night we arrived to our Airbnb. Thankfully, it wasn’t my first time in Italy because otherwise I would’ve gotten a very bad impression of the people of this country. We were first served by a very nice lady, who was happy to to take our order before she left for the night, and toasted all the Panini that we had. We were the only five people, and I told her that each of us we’re gonna be paying for our order, we do in North America. She didn’t have any problem with that. Although it took us a little bit of time to take the order because we don’t speak Italian very well. We were precise of what we want after she placed the Panini’s on the toaster and got it ready, she said the only other employee who might well be also the owner, to help us finish the order and that each of us were paying for our own panino. Right from the beginning, that second employee in the picture had a very bad attitude. I can make myself understand in Italian. That’s not really a problem, but he always answers in a very rude manner. The final item was simply to give us a cappuccino, which he served in a regular mug, so I asked him to please change it to a takeout cup with a lid, and he was disappointed because of that request. And once he made sure that all of us paid, he told me. “Tu non vieni domani” ( YOU, Don’t come tomorrow). Really unpleasant experience on the first day of our trip in Rome. My family members who were here for the first time were really impressed and disappointed. I know a lot of Italians, I know how Italians normally speak and interact with people; so I am certain that this gentleman was really bothered with our presence.. this cafe offers a service that does not represent Italians or even the importance of tourism in this country’s economy that the server who helped us at this cafe does not seem to show any appreciation forward in . Really terrible and sad.

Fantastic vegan cappuccino di soya and crostata. Lovely and lively atmosphere. Reasonably priced - a cappuccino di soya and a coffee it’s €2.90

Following up on my review below and the response from the business requesting that I reconsider the opinion… I do think again about my experience and the response from the business trying to downplay what really happened, not even apologizing for the rude experience towards me and our family.. I speak actually four languages… and Although my Italian is not 100% perfect, I do understand quite well the words and moreover the attitude of the servers towards us… Spanish is our first language, so my guests perfectly understood the Italian “ tu, non vieni domani” which in Spanish is Tu No vengas Mañana.. )You, Don’t come tomorrow”. That server should be fired if he is an employee.. he even threw the lid and sweet we requested .. ah but he was smart making his comment after we paid… I would have otherwise cancelled the entire order. This place is a typical local place that does not welcome foreigners.. everyone can see it in prior reviews.. and the business has never accepted the responsibility or apologized. Terrible customer experience.

We visited this place for breakfast, and the croissants were very good! The staff was also very friendly.

Various kinds of bakery and drinks. Good atmosphere. Kind employees. 👍

This was my first time going there, the bar was not crowded, but the lady staff was not ready to attend us and we had to pay a table charge for each item, for each single item..I can understand if a table charges for everything, but for each single item??? It was really disappointing, when we asked about the charge, the lady staff responded in a way that we were asking something strange, as a person working as a waitress in one of the Rome restaurants, I would not consider coming again.
