Antico Caffe Santamaria in Metropolitan City of Rome Capital

"We stopped by Nivis for a coffee break and were truly impressed. Both the espresso and cappuccino were rich, smooth, and full of flavor — easily among the best we’ve had in Rome. The atmosphere was cozy and the service warm and welcoming. A perfect little spot for a high-quality coffee experience. Grazie mille!"

"We loved dinner here tonight!! Paolo went above and beyond and was an EXCELLENT server! He was very kind and angled our table so we could both see the Basilica. He reminded us to watch our belongings for pick pockets. We shared the specials which was a fettuccine with porcini mushrooms and a steak with porcini mushrooms and rosemary potatoes. Both dishes were delicious. They also had a large selection of desserts. We had the lemon meringue tart; again, delicious."

"Pizza was good. We liked Tiramisu also. But I believe it is bit pricy compare to other restaurants which are close by. To be honest I was not sure about the service charge. We had to pay total of 6 euros or 3 euros each for service charge."

"The tiramisu and cheesecake we ordered were good, but I can't say this about the service. We had to wait so much for the menus, always had to wait for the waiter to notice us to get our orders. I can't recommend this. I'm giving it 4 stars only because the food was good."

"This was the first restaurant we tried here in Rome and it was lovely! The food was good and the server Paulo was friendly and funny. He gave us great recommendations and he just made the experience so good. We didn't see any of the problems described in other reviews, we just loved it here. The deserts were amazing too! We would definitely recommend and will definitely come back the next time we are in Rome!"

"I don't know how this doesn't have 5 stars. They have the BEST PASTRIES IN ROME. Sure it's a bit pricey, but after staying in rome for 2.5 months I tried a lot of pastries. Their pastries were great and in a great location, so they are obviously going to be a bit more expensive than some small cafes. I brought my friends here when they came to visit and we all had great pastries and iced lattes chefs kiss* I can't speak on any of their other meals but I def recommend for a breakfast or brunch snack!"

"This was our dinner spot on a lovely, warm Saturday evening. We were drawn in by the singing bartender, but stayed because of the wonderful menu! We had a full dinner service with a bottle of sparkling wine, dessert and cappuccinos. All were just wonderful. The very friendly hosts even let me get photos with them! What a wonderful evening. thank you!"

"Im surprised from the amount of low reviews!! But honestly i always enjoy being there ! And i love their desserts .. you can have a look on the photos and see that the pastries was and still really good"
