Buzzing with a buoyant, young, staunchly Roman crowd, this sassy corner cafe is a relaxed and easy spot for lapping up a bit of local dolce vita over a love-heart-topped cappuccino – inside at the all-white bar or on the street-smart pavement terrace, which is heated in winter. Serves pizza (€8.50 to €11) and panini (€4.50 to €12) too.
