Raffaello's Bar — Restaurant in Rome

Cozy and intimate corner café near Vatican City providing quality breakfast and snack items, as well as others.

There are two main eating areas - the first one has high-top tables(barely) big enough for two and a the second is a like a lounge to hang out with friends.

Plenty of bakery and sandwich items on the menu for breakfast, as well as some very good coffee, among other beverages.

The artwork on the walls is particularly striking, featuring three tile replicas of famous (I believe) Rafael paintings.

The staff is very friendly and speak multiple languages, so pretty much anyone can who can read this review should feel welcome.

Great place to go before or after a Vatican City tour, or, if you just happen to be...

This sounds too much like the start to a film... but i managed to get lost in the Vatican City in the rain when I was travelling alone, and I stumbled across this place for a minute to try and get my bearings. There was a staff party on and the people inside were very kind and welcoming and I ended up staying and having a lovely evening with them. They were so kind and it was all very fun, one guy was a complete gentleman and walked me home, with genuine kind intentions and i appreciated this so much. I also managed to lose an earring somewhere along the way too. But this place and these people will be forever in my heart and I will remember my evening here for a long time. So thank you...

Raffaello’s Bar is the perfect place to have a cappuccino and a cornetto in the morning while visiting Vatican City. Much more reasonably priced compared to other cafes closer to St. Peter’s square, it is definitely worth a visit. The staff were friendly and the cafe is much roomier than it looks from the outside (there are tables outside as well). If visiting the Vatican in the morning, be sure to stop by...
