Caffe Greco In Roma

A must try on your Roman holiday! Caffe Greco seems to get a lot of mixed review. Having experienced it myself I can say it’s a caffe in its own league. It’s equal parts caffe and museum, not to mention a respectful nod to a time long passed. Being one of the oldest caffes in Europe, people among the ranks of Lord Byron have traversed the threshold and dined within these walls. And for me that is part of what going here is all about. You’re buying entry to be transported back in time and sit in the same spots as some of history’s great minds. I think it’s worth noting coffee culture in Italy is very different from other countries, and especially the US. Usually being a walk up bar where you slap down one Euro, get a shot of espresso in under a minute, drink quickly, and move on with your day. This is not that place. You sit down, get served crème in a silver dish by a waiter in a tuxedo, and order fabulous tortes to indulge in the coffee experience. But keep in mind, by and large, Italians do not drown their food in sugar like so many people, and especially Americans, are used to. I think this is why some people find the experience to be lacking. I’ve always found the food here to be exceptional, but you need to be mentally and maybe emotionally prepared to drop some cash for coffee and cake. This is on the more luxe side of experiences. If that is your thing, then this is a must try on your Roman holiday.

It's a great spot in rome. Especially in the morning is very crowded. It's worth gor a time but it's too expensive. Nowadays, it is a touristic spot

Great coffee, but a rip-off… €7 for a coffee in Europe is too much!!

Antico Caffè Greco offers a charming atmosphere steeped in history, complemented by exceptional coffee and a setting that reflects the elegance of Rome. Most of the staff were gracious and welcoming, embodying the spirit of Italian hospitality. However, the experience was unfortunately marred by the unprofessional behavior of one female staff member, whose conduct did not align with the otherwise refined and hospitable nature of the establishment. It is unfortunate that the actions of a single individual can detract from an otherwise memorable visit to such an iconic café.

I went to see the Spanish Steps and went in because the exterior was pretty, but the interior was even more beautiful! I had a cappuccino and a croissant sandwich, and they were delicious. I looked it up later and found out it was a famous place. I didn't know because I didn't check the price, but I found out later that it was quite expensive. Anyway, it had the typical, old-fashioned atmosphere that comes to mind when thinking of Italian cafes, and the staff was friendly. :)

A historic Roman café, filled with works that make it a little museum. Like many other places, however, it's a café suited to the experienced tourist willing to spend €36 for a sit-down breakfast. Specifically, the two desserts we tried, strudel and lemon pie, were delicious; the lemon pie was particularly generous; we only had water with it; the service was top-notch, attentive, and precise. It's therefore a café that strives to maintain a certain class for its history, style, and service, and it charges a premium. For my tastes, I wouldn't repeat the experience for breakfast.

The general atmosphere is nice The coffee is average The prices are really high, not worth it, honestly 😆

I always stop by here when I come to Rome. The atmosphere is classical, and the service is polite. I love the dark cherry and chocolate cake. A customer passed by pointing at this picture. I wonder if it's some kind of famous picture.

Magical historical Caffe, 2nd oldest in Italy!!!
