Bar Ilacqua In Roma

We stayed here every day during our 1 week stay in Rome. Best pistachio croissant in the world. Only recommended. Prices are also incredibly cheap.

We strolled into this cafe one morning and joined the locals for coffee. Unlike the ltalians who mostly have espresso in the morning rather than milk-based coffee, we ordered lattes. They broke into a little English and took our order. Two very delightful lattes came soon after: not a huge measure but what came had a lovely crema, full-bodied with a balanced coffee and milk ratio — served at a perfect temperature. For approximately €1.80 a glass, we’ll be back for our morning caffeine injection during our short stay in Rome.

Excellent cafe and excellent coffee. Very good service, cheap. You can not ask for more.

Friendly and efficient staff. Not touristy which is a plus, lots of locals stopping by for a quick coffee. Try the pistacchio criossant (cornetto) specially in the morning, it is moist and flaky. Cappuccino with the croissant was 2.50 euro. We stopped by here every morning after taking the 246 bus from Hu Camping to have breakfast before taking the Metro into town. The pistacchio cornetto is really something else. You might think that you can find it everywhere, but no, this is something else. I haven't found it anywhere else. It's not one of those plain croissant injected with pistacchio cream. The pistacchio cream is rolled into the pastry pre-bake, I think, and so the cream spans the entire pastry, not just in the middle. Unforgettable, unregrettable (except for maybe not eating more of it), not to be missed. The memory still haunts me.

I recommend this bar because since I entered, I have been treated very well, the croissant and cappuccino excellent. Education is one of the strong points of the place.
