Caffe Barocco In Roma

We asked if we could just do drinks and dessert (and maybe apps) and they obliged and did a really good job. We were hot and tired and needed to spend some time before our admission to the Pantheon and they did exactly what we asked. A good view, totally pink bathroom as I recall, a nice outdoor area without a lot of people in the afternoon was all we needed. Our server(s) spoke much better English than my Italian. I recall one server stated he learned English from video games as a kid. The price does seem a tad high $49 for only (I think...I don't remember perfectly) cheesecake, a couple wines, and two sodas, but maybe we had a little more. Perhaps there was a coperto or perhaps I tipped more because they were flexible. I was suspicious of the popcorn cheesecake but it was very good and clever with good texture. It was sort of folded on itself and was light.

I stopped at this restaurant-bar and ordered a tuna-based first course: the flavor was impeccably balanced, with perfect seasoning. Located in the square, it enjoys a unique view. The service was excellent, with staff attentive and attentive towards the customer.
