Did you really think, I could wander around the Colosseum without looking for a place to suggest you? If you did, you still don't know me! How could I let my dear friends stop at one of those touristic coffee shops/restaurants that are spread in the area like awful mushrooms?
Caffe' Propaganda is fabulous, under each aspect you look at it.
Open from noon to dinner time, and at walking distance from the Colosseum, it looks like a French bistrot in the very heart of the Italian capital.
High ceilings, black and white floor, large windows...I really like it!
Tables are nicely set and the food is superb! I came here twice in a few days. The first time, I had chicken in Porto sauce with roasted potatoes and candied onion while my friend ordered a rich hamburger. And both were delicious. But I literally adored the veal scallop, cooked with white wine, and served with pine-seeds and raspberry sauce, I had the second time I came.
And desserts...mmhmm, yummy!
My friend had the bowl of caramelized apples with caramel froth while I...hum...
Look at the picture I took.
Now, tell me, how could I resist sipping a creamy espresso while enjoying a lavender flavored macaron, followed by a pistachio one, and a lemon one and...
No, I couldn't.
And for a while, I felt like a kid in a candy shop.
You can have macarons with a Mariage Freres tea in the afternoon (they even serve my favorite one, named Marco Polo).
But they also come for sale. I bought a box of six for my loving daughter...while looking forward to coming back with her soon.
