The staff are very nice and speak English. The cafe is very clean with excellent wifi and facilities. While it may be a little overpriced, the beautiful view of the arena more than makes up for it. The food range is limited to snacks and sandwiches, but they are all very good quality and there will definitely be something you like on offer. Their drinks selection is very broad - alcoholic drinks included. I would highly recommend this cafe!

We had sandwiches before our visit to the Museum Romanité. They were pretty nice, the view of the colosseum was epic and the service staff (a very attentive, funny and friendly lad who liked like Jeff Goldbloom) was exceptional! Would recommend.

We had lunch here after a visit to the museum. The waiter was charming and helpful. The food is light and well priced. The Caesar Salad was a very good and tasty construction of mixed leaves, hot crispy chicken, perfect soft boiled egg, cheese and dressing with crispy fried onions. I enjoyed it a lot. Nice fries and excellent sandwiches. Pleasant terrace and the chef was cheerful. Very clean place.
