GiNa Review

"Homey minimalism" isn't a contradiction at this whitewashed cafè with a modern edge. The block seats and sleek booths, the single flowers in Mason jars, white chandeliers, and multiplicity of mirrors make this small but multilevel space a tiny gem tucked away on the street leading from Piazza di Spagna. With a menu ranging from various bruschette to interesting mixed salads, sandwiches, and pastas, this is a top spot for a light lunch or an aperitivo that won't break the bank in this high-end neighborhood. In fact, the best things here are the sweets: gelato, pastries, fruit with yogurt, and even some American pies and cheesecake, along with the best hot chocolate in Rome during the winter. In warmer months, fully stocked gourmet picnic baskets, complete with checked tablecloth, are ready for pick up on your way to the Villa Borghese park.
