Appia Antica Caffé






There is nothing particularly extraordinary about this little family run café apart from its corner location in the prettiest and greenest section of the ancient Via Appia Antica. And it is this detail which makes it such a seductive place for so many regular patrons. Have breakfast, a simple meal or an aperitivo after cycling or walking in this quiet and picturesque area and you will be hooked as well. There is plenty of outdoor seating at the front under an aging olive tree and in the shady garden in the back. You can also rent a bicycle here. The catacombs are nearby and the ancient road is lined with old monuments, lovely old walls and pastoral views. An encounter with a flock of sheep is entirely possible.

The perfect place to escape when Rome becomes just too overwhelming and you're craving a couple of quiet, lazy hours away from city traffic.
