Rome: tea, coffee & gelato in mid November

The city of Rome is great to visit at any time of the year, but if you do so in the middle of November you should better write down the names of the cafes and resting places you will need to visit to warm up, relax, drink and eat something delicious. There are so many such places in Rome, but we picked these since they are really special. The first one on our list is the great tearoom Babingtons, which is located in the centre of the Italian capital, on Piazza di Spagna and is open from 9 o’clock in the morning until 8 o’clock in the evening. The tearoom is very close to the low level of the Spanish steps and is under the place where the English poet John Keats used to live. At the tearoom are being served cakes and pies, cookies and scones. The place is not among the cheap ones, so expect to pay about 20 Euros for a tea (the selection is really amazing, but the menu is helpful due to the characteristics of the flavours) and a cake.

A great place for a coffee and breakfast is the Bar Ambassador, which is located on Via Fabbroni Street. There one could try a delicious NutellCoffee with Nutella cream at the bottom, which goes perfect with a croissant.

 Another great place to relax and enjoy in the late afternoon, when in the area of Trastevere, is the Baylon Café, where various aperitifs are served. These are various snacks, which are included in the price of your regular drink. These aperitifs are cheap and very tasty and sometimes you will not need a dinner after all. The place is also open in the morning, when one could get a lovely cup of cappuccino and breakfast. Besides the Baylon Café, there are other similar bars of that kind in the centre of Rome and they are located around the area of Piazza Navona and also Campo di Fiori e Trilussa.

 

Those who love ice-cream will tell you that they do so during all seasons and the coming winter does not change their taste. For all of them there are two wonderful places in Rome, which should be mentioned. These are the Grom ice cream shop and the Fior di Luna, which offers bio ice cream. At Grom, a small gelateria close to the Pantheon on Via della Maddalena street, one can try delicious ice cream, made of high quality ingredients and prepared in the finest way possible. Besides fabulous ice cream, the place also offers tasty hot chocolate, which comes with whipped cream on the top and is ideal for the cold November mornings. The website of the place can be checked out here: http://www.grom.it/eng/index.php

 

The other place mentioned, Fior di Luna, is situated in the Trastevere region, which serves bio cultivated flavours, based on high quality ingredients. The ice cream they serve is very delicious and so are the fruit preserves and marmalades they also sell. Their website to check out is here – http://www.fiordiluna.com/
