About
Founded in 1760 and frequented by Keats, Byron, Goethe and Casanova, Caffè Greco is Rome's oldest coffee house and a living monument of European intellectual history. The red velvet interior, gilded mirrors and walls hung with portraits create an atmosphere of aristocratic timelessness.

AI Review Summary
Generated from guest reviews of Caffè Greco
Visitors are unanimous: Caffè Greco is expensive but the atmosphere is irreplaceable. The prices reflect centuries of history and a genuinely beautiful interior. Sit in the back room beneath the oil paintings for the full experience. The coffee is good but the sense of history is extraordinary.

You pay for the history and it is worth every cent. Sitting where Keats sat, drinking coffee surrounded by portraits — unforgettable.

Absurdly expensive but that's not the point. The point is to sit in a living museum and feel the weight of 260 years of culture.

Step back in time. The interior is breathtaking and the espresso is excellent. A Rome essential even if you only go once.
