The best breakfast spots in Rome

Although Italians aren’t fond of big breakfasts, a classic Roman breakfast is simple and sweet: a coffee or creamy cappuccino with a freshly baked cornetto, usually enjoyed standing at the bar rather than lingering over the table. So, when in Rome, do as the locals do. And if a pastry and coffee won’t suffice, the city is also full of cafés and bars serving everything from historic maritozzi to fresh juices and smoothies.

Here’s our list of the best places to have breakfast in Rome.

Open year-round from breakfast to dinner (from 6pm to 10pm), this restaurant in Rome offers a unique dining experience in a modern and elegant setting, bathed in warm natural light in the morning and soft lighting in the evening.

Starting with breakfast: the offerings range from sweet to savory, including vegan and gluten-free options, as well as yogurt, cereals, fresh fruit, and typical products from Lazio, all accompanied by Lavazza tea and coffee.

For dinner, the atmosphere becomes even more refined, with an original gastronomic journey designed by the chef, respecting tradition and the seasonality of the ingredients. The cuisine honors Italian culinary tradition while embracing contemporary influences.

The restaurant’s menu, accessible directly from the hotel rooms for guests, offers a wide selection of refined Mediterranean dishes. Starters include Mediterranean prawns with mango, radishes, cucumbers and Serrano chili pepper, as well as tuna carpaccio with green bean salad. For first courses, highlights range from Acquerello risotto creamed with Roman courgettes, anchovies and mint to pici pasta with farmyard ragù, toasted hazelnuts and Pecorino di Fossa cheese.

For meat lovers, Mamalia relies on the expertise and quality of the Galli butcher shop, a symbol of excellence in Rome for over 70 years, offering the best meats from Italian and European farms.

Discover Italian excellence one scoop at a time

Every bite becomes a real journey through Italy and the world, thanks to various gelato flavours and regional pastries. Cremilla tells us a story of local farmers and food artisans committed to creating a product where taste and quality meet naturally.

Strategically located almost halfway between Castel Sant Angelo and San Peter’s Basilica, just a few meters away from Borgo Pio, this ice cream parlour is the perfect spot for enjoying truly authentic ice cream without falling into a “tourist trap”.

You won’t need to get lost in the city’s narrow and cobbled streets to find real Italian products: Cremilla gives you a chance to taste a deliciously creamy and fresh ice cream while you are walking in the lively area around Castel Sant Angelo, visiting the city’s main hotspots.

The ice cream shop was opened in 2018 and it managed to thrive through the pandemic, constantly adapting to the costumer’s needs. Besides a great selection of ice cream, Cremilla offers fresh seasonal juices, crepes – either plain or chocolate, flavoured waffles, pancakes, smoothies, milkshakes and organic yoghurt.

At Cremilla, you can find the traditional Sicilian cannoli (a crunchy fried wafer filled with sheep’s ricotta cream) and brioches. Or, to fight the summer heat, a refreshing crunchy granita can be a great choice.

When you order a gelato in Rome expect to be asked quite a few questions. As it is better to be prepared, let’s see what this is about.

Apart from the classic choice between cone or cup, don’t be surprised if the gelataio/a will also ask if you want melted chocolate (white chocolate or gianduja) at the bottom of the cone or whipped cream on top. It is one of the free, little, precious joys of eating ice cream in Italy.

Old school flavours such as stracciatella and crema alternate with other seasonal tastes depending on the availability of the product and the creativity of the staff.  We recommend trying brand-new flavours such as mint and liquorice, although the salted caramel with crunchy almonds is hard to pass up.

Fruit flavoured gelato is made using more than 50% seasonal fresh fruit delivered daily, while cream flavoured ones are made only with local organic milk and eggs. For its gelato, Cremilla only uses Sicilian carob flour as natural thickener in order to obtain a free of artificial additive flavour.

The gelato is mixed continuously in the kitchen lab so that it feels real, swift, and fresh at every bite. Most products are made on-site daily – there’s even a glass panel on the floor so that you can see the kitchen in action.

Unlike other gelaterie where the seating area can be quite limited, Cremilla, thanks to an inclusive interior design, invites visitors to take a seat and enjoy a moment of pure happiness.

Top Brunch (And Lunch) Hangouts In Rome

The post Italian Sunday brunch is back at TH Roma Carpegna Palace appeared first on Romeing.

The top spots for classic American brunch, or traditional Italian style lunch in Rome.

Italians have welcomed the popular tradition of brunch with open arms, and Rome has several brunch spots that do the classic American brunch justice. However, Italians also have an enduring history of the long lunch, “Sunday lunch” to be exact, a cultural institution, a weekly tradition, and a time to be with family and friends.

Lucky for you, these two concepts live beside one another in perfect harmony – so whether you miss bacon and eggs or you want to dive into the Italian lifestyle and enjoy the unlimited choice of an Italian-style lunch, you can have the best of both worlds in Rome.
