We love Bar Necci

Probably our favourite find in Rome so far is lovely Bar Necci in Pigneto. Almost every Sunday morning since we arrived we've made the quick trip by rattly old tram from San Lorenzo to Pigneto. Necci's cappuccinos are perfect and throughout the morning tray after tray of freshly baked pastries appear from the kitchen at the bargain price of 70cents.

Necci has been open since 1924 and was originally an ice cream parlour. It's major claim to fame is its appearance in Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1961 film Accattone. Now it settles for being a local institution.

After breakfast on certain Sundays you can take your sugar/caffeine rush for a trip around the flea market just around the corner.
