Pasticceria Barberini In Testaccio For Pastry And Coffee
Be sure to stop by Pasticceria Barberini for a sweet selection of pastries and a delicious espresso while exploring the amazing neighborhood of Testaccio.
Pasticceria Barberini was founded in 1925 in the heart of Testaccio. It specializes in everything from cakes to single portions, from baked goods to savory pastries to the tea room.
Today Barberini offers a continuous service from breakfast to aperitif and is a meeting point for everyone, including: young people, tourists, professionals, families and for all those who love fine pastry.
Pasticceria Barberini Is The Place For An Afternoon Snack.
Nothing goes better with an espresso than un dolce. While I was on my travels around Rome trying various delicious espresso drinks, while walking near the Pyramid of Cestius, I noticed on my google map that one of the outposts of a fantastic Pasticceria was nearby.
I had read a recommendation by @eminchilli that Pasticceria Barberini was a good place to try, but my surprise was the quality of the sweets! There are multiple locations around Rome and I highly recommend a stop, either for breakfast, or as I did, after a day of walking when you just need a jolt of caffeine and sugar.
What Does Pasticceria Barberini Believe?
They believe in being a mix of tradition and innovation supported by raw materials of the highest quality. The search for quality ingredients is the strength that distinguish them from the others trying to be at an elite level of Roman pastry making.
Who Was Barberini?
The House of Barberini is a family of the Italian nobility that rose to prominence in the 17th century Rome. Typically, restaurants like these are paying homage to a noble Roman family name with no actual relation to the family.
Are There Other Reasons To Go To Testaccio?
Their intense focus is on creating the best pastries in Rome. However, they offer delicious coffee with some dining inside and some outside for a refreshing treat any time of the year. They also offer some delicious gelato, but that was for another time for us. Our needs were focused on coffee and pastries. gelato comes next.
How Is The Coffee At Pasticceria Barberini
I really enjoyed it. Since they use their own branded cups, I wasn’t sure of which roaster they were using, but both the espresso and cappuccino were great quality that paired perfectly with the delicious pastries.
Italian Pastry Tip – Maybe It Is Just Me!
One suggestion: if you look at the picture you see two sweets on a plate, and the bottom layer looks like some type of a square of chocolate (or at least something edible). It isn’t! It’s the cardboard each delicious piece is placed on for ease of handling!
