Caffè Sant'Eustachio

Frommer's Review

Strong coffee is liquid fuel to Italians, and many Romans will walk blocks for what they consider to be a superior brew. Caffè Sant'Eustachio is one of Rome's most celebrated espresso shops, where the water supply is funneled into the city by an aqueduct built in 19 B.C. Rome's most experienced espresso judges claim the water plays an important part in the coffee's flavor. Buy a ticket from the cashier for as many cups as you want, and then leave a small tip (about .50€/60¢) for the counter-person when you present your receipt. It's open Sunday through Thursday from 8:30am to 1am, Friday from 8:30am to 1:30am, and Saturday from 8:30am to 2am.
