Caffè Letterario is a cafe located in a 1000 m2 large open space room in Via Ostiense. The place is a
combination of bookstore, art exhibitions, cocktail bar, cafe, interior design and general hang out
place. Caffè Letterario also has a broadcasting television studio and a public library, which is the
result of a project aiming to get Rome's public libraries away from the traditional institutions and into
new spaces where they can reach new users and work in another setting. Caffè Letterario is very
much a cultural centre, where you can easily hang out for hours in the relaxed atmosphere. On
weekends you can have brunch here.
FELICE a Testaccio Via Mastro Giorgio 20 T. +39 06 5756800 www.feliceatestaccio.com
Eating at Felice a Testaccio is one of the best things you can do for yourself, when you visit this area.
At Felice's the menu is classical Roman, but the quality is just a little bit higher than most other
places. The same goes for the interior design and the service. The specialty at Felice is the Roman
Pasta dish Cacio e pepe, which is being prepared right in front of you at the table. The menu each day
is dedicated to special dishes, while the classics are available every day. You must not leave without
having tasted Felice's tiramisu. Reservation is an absolute must.
Da REMO Piazza Santa Maria Liberatrice 44 (Testaccio) T. +39 06 5746270
Testaccio’s best pizzeria is definitely Da Remo. In here you find the typical Roman pizzas. Crispy
paper thin crust, the edges well burned, and simply just amazing. The place is simple and full of
Roman atmosphere. The room is not big, and you'll often have to wait a bit for a table, standing
outside in the street with hordes of people. When you order your food, the waiter will throw a little
notebook on the table, and you check off, what you want from the list, and then give it back to the
waiter. A smart way to get everything done a little faster. And things do go fast at Da Remo, where
the waiters seem to fly across the room, and new people are constantly seated at the tables.
Andreotti Via Ostiense 54/b. T. +39 06 5750773 www.andreottiroma.com
If you need a cake to go with your coffee in the Ostiense area, you go to Andreotti, whose history
dates back to 1931. And it's not only the local people, who go here. People come from all of Rome to
buy the delicious cakes. At Andreotti, you can have it all. In the morning Romans take their caffè or
cappuccino at the bar most likely accompanied by one of the delicious cornetti. Andreotti is so
famous that the place had a part in the movie La finestra di fronte made by Turkish-Italian director
Ferzan Ozpetek. Andreotti created all the amazing cakes for a scene in the movie, where there were
pretty many of them.
Doppiozeroo Via Ostiense 68. T. +39 06 57301961 www.doppiozeroo.it
At Doppiozeroo you can have your morning cappuccino with a warm cornetto. At lunchtime, the bar
