9 brunch rooms in Rome we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Rome | Brunch across every city.
Brunch in Rome leans on the city's bakery and cafe culture rather than the American template, building the late-morning table around fresh bread, pastry and good coffee. In the centro storico, Pianostrada and Barnum Cafe set the relaxed pace, while Ginger Sapori e Salute works a brighter, produce-led menu. Out in Ostiense, Cafe Merenda and Doppio Zeroo carry the same idea into the converted-warehouse quarter.
