Sant' Eustachio.

Sant’ Eustachio, originally uploaded by callieo!. Reported to serve the best espresso anywhere, and I live about a ten-minute walk from this caffe (It’s in a small piazza right behind the Pantheon). Spendy, though. Three euro for this doppio espresso con panna. They have a rival about two blocks
