If you want a taste of old Rome, Antico Caffè Greco on Via dei Condotti near the Spanish Steps is a tiny, museum-like café filled with portraits and history, so go for the atmosphere as much as the coffee. It is best for a quick, high-quality espresso at the bar if you want to save money, or for a relaxed sit-down if you want to linger among the décor, but expect tourist prices and crowds; book a table if you plan to stay during peak times. Cards are usually accepted but carrying some cash is handy, and remember this is about the experience rather than a budget meal.
