Caffè Perù

Turns into a very fun little bar at night, we grabbed a cocktail (amaretto sour) and a beer and drank them in the piazza right in front of Caffè Perù, with the view of the church (chiesa di Santa Caterina Della Rota). The atmosphere in and around the bar is super nice, you can tell that this is a popular spot for both locals and internationals.

This spot was super cute! We stopped in while waiting for our golf cart tour and were pleasantly surprised. The waitress/cashier, who’s part of the family that owns the place, was so friendly and welcoming — it really added to the experience.

Great selection of amari. Also good prices. Not tourist inflated. Can hang out here. Even saw a laptop.

Let me start by saying that I think the place is nice for when you're with a group. As a woman alone in Rome, not so much. I lived down the street and tried several times having lunch at this place. The staff would ignore me when I sat down and there were other tables to clean or groups to attend to. I get that it's busy during lunch, but not even saying anything to me or looking at me after 15 minutes is something else. Moreover, one time I saw how they told an elderly lady, who had difficulty walking and also already waiting for 10 minutes, that she could not have a coffee outside, because it was lunchtime. At the time, the terace was half filled and no people waiting. I get that the centre of Rome is busy and that a single woman would obviously spend less than a group of people, but this was downright unkind.

Amazing cafe. The pastries are simply amazing, the juice is freshly squeezed and the coffee divine. On first inspection the shop doesn’t look like much but look around at the detail and settle in. The total experience shouldn’t be missed.

Amazing sandwiches and wine and beer selection

Has the best Spaghetti Al Limone in town also has the friendliest waiting staff in Rome. Update March 2022: they removed the Pasta Limone from their menu. 🥲 To the owner: Why did you remove the pasta limone from your menu? 😭 You were the only restaurant serving that dish. 💔💘

Good location, nice staff. Probably okay for aperitivo or a caffe but would not recommend a full meal. I tried the seafood risotto and it was less risotto more rice with sauce and the seafood was fairly low quality and the dish had an overwhelming fishy taste. It was also delivered to me within 2 minutes of ordering and was cold.
