La Nicchia Cafe

I would rate this place 6 stars if I could. We popped in after walking the Vatican for a quick coffee but ended up staying for a full tasting menu. It’s obvious that the owner is passionate about quality ingredients. He very generously offered a sampling of pestos, a truffle parmigiana spread, pecorino in truffle-infused honey, and the piece de résistance: sliced parmigiana with the most delicious balsamic vinegar I’ve ever tasted. Not only was the coffee excellent, the food was top-notch and prepared by a lovely woman who described each ingredient. When I asked for milk for my coffee, the owner thoughtfully steamed the milk first. The staff here are as wonderful as the coffee and food; do yourself a favour and stop by when you’re in the area.

Amazing, the staff are ever so lovely easy to speak to. Learn all about the culture we felt in safe hands! Also very generous with the drinks and food! We loved it! We would love to come back :)

Great people behind the counter. I love the service and the delicious food. The ingredients they use are pure Italian and they give extra attention to what they offer. This is pure quality. I think this place is very underrated. I am going to visit this place every time I am in Rome.

If I could give more stars, I would! The food is absolutely outstanding. Everything is made fresh, from top notch quality ingredients. This place is a hidden gem! The service is amazing. This place is run by extremely nice, professional and communicative sisters who make you feel welcomed. The cherry on top is that you can buy their pestos and other products! Btw, the paninis are HUGE!

Went here as part of a food tour. Lots of DOP cheese, Genovese pesto, truffle creams, etc. The buffalo mozzarella was made that morning! Highlight was the 30 year old basalmic vinegar on the 30 month old Parmigiano Reggiano. But seriously they have a lot of really cool foods for purchase!
