Caffè Delle Commari

Let me start with the service—the service was excellent. Madhu was our server. She was personable and attentive. We called her over several times for this or that. Madhu was always pleasant and available. The other servers were also quite friendly. When I went in to check out the pastries, they were very helpful in telling me about the various dulces.

Caffe Delle Commari was nicely situated on a small quiet street with a very nice seating area outside. The tables and chairs were well-situated to nicely accommodate parties of 1-4, with enough room to get in and out and sit comfortably.

Now for the food—we selected Caffe Delle Commari because of its full breakfast menu. We were looking for a hearty meal, not just pastries and beverages. Caffe Delle Commari offered several hearty meal options at reasonable prices. My husband, being originally from England, was able to order an authentic English breakfast, including beans and toast, eggs and four meats. My sister and I each had Commari’s breakfast, including a generous portion of eggs, European bacon, toast, croissant, fresh butter and jam, fresh squeezed orange juice, along with coffee or hot chocolate, each meal for under 20 Euros. Very good value. Afterwards, I ordered their pistachio croissant. No one was overwhelmed by the breakfast, but neither were we underwhelmed.

The meats and toast were my favorites. The scrambled eggs were fresh. They were not how I would expect them in the US, but I’m in Italy, not the US. I liked that the orange juice was fresh squeezed, but it was a bit thin. My hot chocolate was beautifully visually appealing, but made with water, so not so tasty. My sister learned from my experience and asked for her hot chocolate to be made with milk—much better! The regular croissants that came with the meal were a bit dry and overcooked. They left something to be desired. I barely touched the pistachio croissant. It was too sweet for me, and didn’t taste much like pistachio (though it contained real pistachio bits).

I forgot to take pictures of the hearty breakfasts, but I’ve attached what I have.

As hearty breakfasts were hard to come by in Rome and this was a pretty good one, again with excellent service, I would recommend it and would come again.
