This Budget Travel blog post has a good video about the Roman coffee-ordering experience. Vanessa and I, along with our friends Danny and Leslie, enjoyed a granita di caffe con panna from Tazza d’Oro, as seen at the end of the video. It’s coffee ice with whipped cream, but that description fails to capture just how tasty the confection is. It’s like the best coffee ice you could imagine, not too cold or too crunchy, with great whipped cream. And you eat it looking at the spectacular Pantheon, since the Piazza della Rotonda is just around the corner from Tazza d’Oro.
Here’s a shot of Vanessa enjoying a caffe (espresso) from a little snack bar one afternoon. When in Rome…enjoy your espresso at the bar in a couple sips.
