Il Maritozzaro

Trastevere & Gianicolo


This tiny and unfussy corner cafe coddles customers with its famed maritozzi, sweet yeasty buns split open and filled to the brim with freshly whipped cream. Although the pastry is typically eaten for breakfast, Il Maritozzaro stays open all night, making it a popular destination for those peckish after a night carousing.
