Bar Gambero — Restaurant in Rome

This place has the best coffee! The old man behind the counter was really sweet and didn't speak any English but was very helpful. They clarify the way in which they serve coffee to you in case you are not a local. The caffe freddo here is some of the best coffee I've had and I liked the cold Cappucino as well. The coffee they use is tazza d'oro which is all kinds of awesome. The place itself is small and not very spacious but it's nice to sit outside on the street and have some of their little pastries. They do have small sandwiches as well but I would think of this very much as a coffee place. All tourists- a tavolo has a different price, since that means you are sitting at a table, even if you are not being served...

We stumbled upon this place around 2 pm, desperate for lunch in a neighbourhood full of clothing shops. We assume we were helped by the owner, who was incredibly friendly. He recommended their special, which they had been making for 40 years, which was a plate of 3 different pastas (7 euros helped too!). We were almost the only ones sitting outside, but indoors was almost full. We were still served extremely quickly. Even when we finished, he suggested we sit on their outdoor area on the other side of the restaurant because the sun was coming towards us and there would be more shade on...

What a wonderful cafe and restaurant for “American coffee”! I visited here every morning (and sometimes afternoon)for the last week while on holiday for coffee before starting my exploring and loved the people, environment and vibe! Everyone here has been very gracious and kind even though I don’t speak Italian. That has NOT been the case at OTHER cafes I visited. The coffee, espresso and food were all great! The service was also great! Do yourself a favor and give this cafe your repeat business! Tornerò indietro Bar Gambero! Grazie!
