Fodor's Expert Review Caffè Propaganda
$$
Monti
Café
Black and white tiles create the atmosphere of a Parisian brasserie at this hip all-day bar/restaurant, but the heart of the large food menu is still Italian. Signature dishes include red shrimp carpaccio, the justly popular artichokes cooked three ways, cacio e pepe–filled ravioli topped with crispy guanciale, and the house burger with fat chips. Desserts lean toward France, with colorful macarons, a decadent chocolate pudding, and several crostate (sweet pies usually with jam or ricotta). This is one of the few places in the area open late: food is often served until 2 am.
