Perfect for
Forno Conti & Co is a small, minimalist bakery near the Colosseum, with Scandi decor and pastries so perfect they look fake. It’s the kind of place where you sit, take your time, and wonder if you should get a second round of carbs (you should). Grab a pain au chocolat or a savory pastry—fillings rotate between things like artichoke and pancetta or escarole and olives. Their coffee, sourced from a local roaster, is also excellent. If you want to break up the sweetness, they also serve good savory options like omelets and avocado toast with smoked salmon.

A tray of hot pan suisse, pulled straight from the oven, has frequently swayed our order at Forno Monteforte.
In addition to Pizzarium, Gabriele Bonci has a panificio in the same neighborhood, serving equally fantastic pizza and sweets.
