The story
Roscioli Caffè, perched on Piazza Benedetto Cairoli, earns its reputation as one of the most famous bars in Rome. According to a review from the Frama Twins, the cafe offers classic Roman pastries that exemplify the city’s morning ritual.
The standout items include a maritozzo—a soft bun piled high with whipped cream—and a ricotta cake, presumably the classic torta ricotta e visciole. However, the twins note the prices run a bit high, a trade-off for such a tourist-friendly, traditional stop in the heart of the historic center.

Reviewers praise Roscioli Caffè’s maritozzo as a pillowy, cream-filled masterpiece, capturing the café’s warm, effortlessly Roman charm.
“The maritozzo is really good. The dough is like a brioche, fresh and soft, and the cream is fresh too. I know the story about the future husband putting the ring inside this bread and covering it with cream, then giving it to his fiancée. It's a classic Roman pastry and I think Roscioli is one of the most famous bars here in Rome.”

Maritozzo

Torta Ricotta e Visciole
This cake is full of ricotta and visciole, which is a kind of sour cherry. It cost €14.90, so it better be good. The ricotta is very fresh and thick, and the cherry doesn't have the classic cherry taste, it's more like a mix with marasca cherry. It has a particular flavor but it's good. I think the maritozzo was better, but this is also good.
