I need tiramisu whenever I'm in Italy, so I did my research before heading to Rome. My fellow Yelpers, as well as all of the travel blogs I read, told me to head to Bar Pompi immediately. SO glad I did - I'd agree it's the best tiramisu in Rome.
Location: If you're looking at most maps of Rome, this place is so far away that it's off the map. However, it's so easy to get here: take the metro to the Re di Roma stop, and then it's literally a 2 minute walk from there.
Food: On a tight budget, we skipped expensive dinner prices and went for aperitivo instead. There's an 8 euro minimum drink order, and then there were 5-6 dishes including rice, pasta salad, barley salad (YUM!), cheesy bread, crostini, pizza, and what looked like miniature arancini. Overall, the food wasn't too bad, though some dishes were getting cold quickly. Go up and serve yourself as much as you want!
Drinks: Lovely! My favorites were the Georgia Peach, classic mojito, and the good ol' Aperol spritz. There's a pretty extensive drink menu, so have fun!
Dessert: 4.50 euro for a little slice of heaven, also known as tiramisu. AMAZING. There are 4 or 5 types (classic, or topped with mixed berries, strawberries, pistachios, etc.) - all of us got different kinds and loved each one of them. Still, classic tiramisu will always have my heart. I got it without whipped cream, but I'm sure it'd be sensational with it.
Everything else: A little rough getting seated - just make sure to talk to a server as soon as you come in, otherwise they'll think you're just looking at the bar. We sat in the back for aperitvo, and they had blue lighting + a DJ spinning some disco music...? Odd choice for aperitivo, but the music got better during the night.
Can't wait to come back. Tiramisu, I miss you already!
