D’Angelo Caffè & Gastronomia is a beloved institution in Rome, located on Via Venti Settembre just a short walk from Termini station. This family-run café combines a traditional Italian bar with a gourmet deli, offering an authentic taste of Roman daily life. The interior is classic and elegant, with marble countertops, vintage espresso machines, and shelves lined with jars of olives, cheeses, and cured meats. The aroma of freshly baked cornetti and roasted coffee greets you at the door. What makes D’Angelo stand out is its dual personality: by day, it’s a bustling spot for a quick espresso and pastry at the bar; by afternoon, it transforms into a gastronomia where locals buy high-quality pasta, wine, and antipasti. The coffee is exceptional, rich, dark, and served with a smile. The staff are known for their warmth, often remembering regulars' orders. It’s a place where you can stand at the counter like a true Roman, sipping a caffè macchiato while watching the city rush by.

Don't miss

  • Order an espresso at the bar and enjoy it standing up, Roman-style
  • Pick up a fresh cornetto (Italian croissant) filled with crema or marmellata
  • Browse the deli counter for local cheeses, prosciutto, and marinated vegetables
  • Buy a bottle of wine or a jar of artisanal pasta sauce to take home
  • Try the caffè shakerato (shaken iced coffee) in warmer months
