Caffè Palombini

Southern Rome


EUR's best option for a meal, a snack or a cocktail is this large, buzzing, bustling cafe and restaurant. Sit on the sunny terrace for a drink, browse the line-up of offerings in the cafeteria, nab a table in the dining room, the options are many. The food is excellent, from the pastries in the bar area to the various daily specials.
