I had eaten here while in college in the 1970s - and the Tartufo dessert was memorable. Flash forward: our extended family of 8 needed a late lunch after a lot of sight-seeing. The Piazza Navona remains one of those special places where watching the crowd can always be fun, and dining outside is a treat. Tre Scalini delivered for... more

we went to sit in tre scalini for some gelato, touristy, yeah, i could see that before i sat down, however, the prices on the menu were unbelievable. To be honest, we didnt eat there, we looked at the menu and that was enough to put us off. The gelato's started at €12 each! As that was all we were... more

This is one of those cafes that are lining the Piazza Navona with the waiters who try to draw you into sit and have lunch, snacks or dinner.

We were there in the low season and there was... more

Best coffee and capucino! And must try the "tartufo" ice cream. more

I only had the gelato, which was very nice. I'd recommend here over the couple other gelaterias in the piazza. more

The only bad experience we had was the restaurant Tre Scalini in Piazza Navona, to the right of the church of Sant'Agnese in Agone. It had a nice view of the Fountain of Four Rivers, but the gnocchi in roquefort was much too salty, the saltimbocca veal was tough, dry and salty, the service was poor (they never brought the... more
