The downtown cafe has a gold-lettered signboard "Antico CaffeGreco"

It is located at the end of Water Pipe Street (ViaCondotti in Italian), about ten meters away from Spanish Plaza.

Pipe Street is a famous shop street. The street about 100 meters long is full of famous products from all over the world.

So many tourists will go to the Greek cafe.

Bvlgari, Ferragamo, Gucci, LuiseVuitton, Prada on the street.

These brands have overshadowed the former glory of Greek cafes.

And the cafe enjoyed it, too. You know, the tips taken out of the pockets of these tourists were much more generous than those of the literary and artistic circles or revolutionaries at that time.

It is said that the Greek cafe is one of the oldest cafes in the world, so how old is it?

It says that the owner of the cafe is a Greek named Nikolai de Madalena (NicoladellaMaddalena).

This is the origin of the name of the cafe.

At first, it was just a tavern with two wooden tables.

As for making coffee, it was just the boss's impromptu idea one day.

But unexpectedly, this kind of "bitter soup" was very popular, so it was listed on the wine list.

Once, the shopkeeper went to Venice and saw the cafe there was very popular. When he returned to Rome, he immediately rented the room next door.

Transform the original dark tavern like a cat's ear hole into the largest cafe in the city at that time.

Even Ludwig, the mad king of Bavaria, who built the new swan castle, visited with his pet courtiers.

Since then, many great people have visited here: Mendelssohn, Schopenhauer, Liszt, Nietzsche, Thomas Man, Hans Christian Andersen, Berlioz, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Hawthorne, Stendhal, Dickens, Mark Twain. This list can go on.

Pushed open the heavy door of the cafe, the structure and decoration of the cafe are very antique

After entering the door, the first hall serves as a waiting room, and on the right hand side is a coffee bar for take-out or standing guests.

The structure of the second and third hall is similar to that of the front hall, except that all the tables and chairs are not large, with about six or seven tables each.

Further inside, divided into two ways to drill to the end, are two narrow corridors, known as "Omnibus", which are also filled with tables and chairs

Lazy words are mostly searched on the Internet. I took the photos.

I often pass by this cafe when I am in Rome, and it is full of people every time.

Although I heard a friend say that this cafe is very famous, there is no specific concept.

But when I was flipping through the magazine yesterday, I found an article about this cafe.

The selected photos are almost the same as the ones I took.

So I sorted out two pictures to share with you.

The price of coffee in his house is several times that of an ordinary cafe, and it doesn't taste very special.

I only had coffee once, but WC went to it N times.

Oh, don't despise me. This is the nearest, convenient and free WC to Piazza de Spain.

Dizzy, what's so far from it?

The wall decoration in the store

Chinese characters are so cordial!
