Casa Manfredi's original café is on Viale Aventino between Circo Massimo and Testaccio. The compact room has a pastry counter and outdoor tables. You can stop for espresso at the bar or sit down with breakfast.
Coffee
The coffee programme uses 1895 by Lavazza, with espresso and cappuccino accompanying the baking. The pastry selection is the main reason to travel here; choose a café with a broader filter menu if comparing brews is your priority.
Food
Croissants, maritozzi, small cakes and tartlets fill the counter. Savoury breakfast dishes give you an alternative to a sweet order. Availability changes through the day, so arrive earlier for the widest pastry choice.
Planning a visit
Aventino remains the best starting point for the brand. Casa Manfredi Teatro on Via dei Conciatori is a separate café and production space in Ostiense; the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi corner is a hotel setting. Allow time for table service when the Aventino café is busy.
