Ai 3 Scalini In Roma

12/02/2025: The level of coffee in Italy is unrivaled, so much so that it does not need any explanation. As a country rich in coffee, the attitude towards coffee is different and the type of coffee to drink and when is also clear. I had a cup of espresso every day since I started in Palermo, and the espresso was definitely much more delicious than in Korea. So, I wondered if different types of coffee would taste different. It may be because it is the capital, but Rome is the city that is most serious about coffee. There are so many famous cafes that I could just pick the top three, so I chose one of those top three and stopped by in the morning. To be honest, judging from the atmosphere and the people visiting, it didn't give the impression that it was local and just seemed like a tourist attraction. The price range was naturally higher than average, and many things that could be used as souvenirs were sold. If you eat on the outdoor terrace, you have to pay a seat fee, so we sat inside and ordered a bread and a cappuccino. For indoor dining, you just have to pay in advance, receive an order form, and give it to the barista. There were two baristas at the time, and they were smartly dressed and busily serving and cleaning up the coffee with skillful hands. He asked me if I wanted to add sugar to my cappuccino and suggested that I do so. The cappuccino I ordered came out and it looked completely unadorned, with no latte art or anything like that. I stirred some foam and took a sip. Although the taste of the coffee beans was light, it went down very smoothly and had a nice flavor. The bread we ate together was an Italian bread called Cornetto that looked like a croissant and was filled with pistachio cream. Rather than feeling buttery like a croissant, the cream inside gave it a sweet taste. Italian locals say they eat cornetto by dipping it in cappuccino, so I tried it and it was good because the cappuccino seeped through the grain and made it moist. Rather, a more impressive combination than cappuccino.
