Gallo Umbro In Roma

03/09/2025: This caffe must NEVER ever close. It is a historical monument of Rome. Everyone must sign the petition to keep the caffe open.

18/08/2025: Located near the Spanish Steps, Caffè Greco is Rome's oldest cafe. Table seating with elaborate Baroque decor. Paintings on the walls. It's said to have been frequented by intellectuals and artists such as Casanova, the legendary playboy, Poets Goethe, Byron, Mendelssohn, and Wagner. The atmosphere was just as wonderful as rumored. I'd like to say I was immersed in history, but it was so hot I was a little dazed. They're famous for their espresso, but it was so hot I had to settle for iced tea. Even so, the atmosphere was dignified and luxurious. The prices were also high-end. 😅 And the restrooms were lovely too. I later learned that the price varies depending on where you sit. Come to think of it, there was a butler-like figure standing where the sofa seats were.
