There is a reason people say; "when in Rome do as the Romans do"... especially when it comes to food. Rome is the epicenter for fine cuisine. So, instead of searching for the nearest Starbucks,head to Cafe Tazza D'oro just steps from the Pantheon, when in need of a refreshment.
After a long and hot day walking around the streets of Rome step inside the traditional Roman coffee shop and order a Granita di Caffe. Granita is a traditional italian ice which is a semi-frozen dessert made with ice and various flavorings. While granita preparations vary across the country, Cafe Tazza D'oro layers ice shavings and coffee between a double dose of cream. The coarse cool texture is refreshing on a hot and sticky day. The coffee keeps you going so you can continue on your next adventure and the cream makes it an extra sweet treat.
You can sip it through a straw or scoop it with a spoon! And do as the Romans do, stand at the counter and chat with friends. We can assure you this tops any Frappuccino you have ever had, it authentic and delicious.
