Why we recommend it
Sant'Eustachio has served coffee in its small piazza between the Pantheon and Piazza Navona since 1938, and its blue and yellow sign is a familiar landmark in the centre. The bar keeps its original furnishings and still roasts its coffee using an old wood-fired roasting plant, a rarity in a modern city. The Ricci brothers have run it since 1999.
The drink to order is the Gran Caffè, made from a blend whose proportions are kept secret and served in a slightly larger cup, already sweetened and with a light, creamy texture; ask for it amaro if you prefer it unsweetened. Drink at the counter like the locals or take a seat outside. Bags of beans, organic and fair-trade products make good souvenirs.
