 | Rome Tre Scalini Reviews | 1 - 5 of 5 |  |
Tre Scalini is a grand old cafe/restaurant located in the heart of Piazza Navona.
It is one of those expensive cafes that you pay a fortune to sit in the Piazza and watch the world go by.
While it is not the friendliest of places, and you get the feeling that you are being churned in and out in a hurry, it is certainly a great place for some people watching.
The speciality of Tre Scalini is their Tartufo - a type of chocolate ice cream ball (refer to the photo).
It is evil. In a good way.
Their coffee is average. Leave a Comment Theme: CoffeehousePrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: Piazza Navona 30Phone: 39 066879148Directions: In Piazza Navona

 TARTUFO REIGNS SUPREME by travelgourmet
Many fine dishes are available and the wait staff waits until you signal them to order or pay the bill. Remember that you must call the wait staff as they do not like to disturb you while enjoying your food. They are not rude but respectful. Next door is their Mokarabia coffee bar and gelato parlor, so if the price is too steep at the ristorante then try the coffee bar.
Dessert is the main course here. Their signature dish, Tartufo, an ice cream decadent treat with a surprise, is not to be missed.

A romantic time in Rome itself...hmmmmn...I would make it part of an evening.
One afternoon, after your siesta, when you're done window shopping and all, wander over to the Pantheon and admire it inside and out. Then as darkness falls, go over to Piazza Navona. Make the circle around the whole piazza arm in arm, like other couples. You may see kiosks set up to sell stuff, you may see artists selling caricatures, you will definitely see lots of other people seeing and being seen - it's a car free zone (except for the lone police car that wanders slowly through).
When you've done a circuit or two admiring the fountain of four rivers and the buildings around the Piazza, sit in the bar next to Tre Scalini (it may be Tre Scalini's bar, I don't remember). Tre Scalini is a long time restaurant that all Romans know (even if they don't go) on the west side of the piazza.
Tell the waiter that you would like a drink, and that you would like to have dinner inside afterwards. If you can, sit outside with your drink and your better half, and admire all the people walking by. This evening promenade is quintissentially Mediterranean.
When you're ready (or the waiter comes to tell your that the best table - in the window - is ready), go into the restaurant and have dinner. It will not be cheap, but, frankly, it's more expensive at trendier places. For dessert, be sure to have tartuffo al cioccolato (sp?), a homemade chocolate bomb that was invented by this restaurant.
After dinner, make another circuit of the piazza (to aid digestion), then have an after dinner drink at the bar across the piazza (perhaps a shot of Amaretto or Tuaca - Italian servings are not as large as American) or a digestivo - Italians are big into herbed drinks to aid digestion.
Then stagger home. ;-)

Tres Scalini is a cute little cafe/restaurant right in the Piazza Navona. After walking around the Piazza we decided to stop in for what Liz told me is the best Tartufo she has ever had. We had a seat at one of the many outdoor tables. A friendly waiter came over and took our order. We decided on Tartufo and some sparkling water. Our Tartufo arrived loking quite delicious and we dove right in. The Tartufo was delicious and I loved the chocolate covering. It was a nice cool treat for a summer afternoon.
This cafe was perfect for sittig back and relaxing. We spent nearly an two hours here just watching the activity of the Piazza and planning our next adventure. It was the perfect people watching venue.
The Tartufo was excellent. The delicious creamy ice cream and the chocolate coating were incredible...no wonder Liz had to bring me here.
