place is still stuffed with statues and it's a unique experience to sit among the great
maquettes and sup an upmarket tea or knock back some wine and snacks.
CAFFÈ GRECO

( 06 679 17 00; Via dei Condotti 86; 9am-8pm; Spagna) Caffè Greco opened in 1760 and is
still working the look: penguin waiters, red flock and age-spotted gilt mirrors. Casanova,
Goethe, Wagner, Keats, Byron, Shelley and Baudelaire were all once regulars. Now there
are fewer artists and lovers and more shoppers and tourists. Prices reflect this, unless you
do as the locals do and have a drink at the bar.

( 06 6813 5108; Viale Trinità dei Monti; 8am-9pm May-Oct; Spagna) Hidden away a short walk
from the top of the Spanish Steps towards the Pincio Hill Gardens, this graceful cafe has a
garden-party vibe, with green wooden latticework surrounding the outside tables. There
are lovely views over the backstreets behind Spagna, and the ice cream is renowned (par-
ticularly the truffle).

( 06 4201 1798; Via di San Basilio; 7am-11pm Mon-Sat, closed Aug; Barberini) Molto trendy: this
cafe-restaurant is a find. It's sleekly sexy and popular with workers from nearby offices.
There's a small stand-up cafe downstairs, with a nice little deck outside where you can
linger longer over coffee and delicious dolcetti . Upstairs is a recommended cucina cre-
ativa (creative cuisine) restaurant (meals €65).
