Located in the middle of the shopping streets next to the biggest brand names in the fashion business, the cafè is also known as a haven for poets, politicians, artists and celebrities.
Founded in 1760, Antico Caffè Greco still maintains its 19th century decor. Marble-topped tables and classic red velvet sofas matched perfectly against a backdrop of gold framed paintings, antique mirrors, chandeliers and sculptures.
I was told that the cafè has its own brand of coffee but I was more in the mood for a latte this afternoon.
They also have a pretty good selection of cakes and desserts available.
We had the mimosa cake, a layered sponge cake with custard cream and sponge cake crumbs/cubes on top. It was so soft and spongy!
Expect to pay a premium for sittings inside the tea room but if you opt to stand at the bar, the prices are more than reasonable - €2 for an expresso or latte.
