Message from Francesco Meola

The Antico Caffè Greco is an iconic café and historic landmark located on Via dei Condotti in Rome, Italy. Opened in 1760, it's the second oldest bar in Italy and one of the oldest still-operational cafés in the country. Over the centuries, famous writers, politicians, artists, and other notable figures like Stendhal, Byron, Goethe, and Schopenhauer have frequented Antico Caffè Greco. Prices are slightly higher than in other places in the city centre, but the experience is so beautiful that I believe it's worth paying the extra cost for a place like this.
