Fodor's Review:
You may prefer to limit your shopping on Via Condotti to the window variety, but there's one thing here that everybody can afford -- a stand-up coffee at the bar at the Antico Caffè Greco, set just off the Piazza di Spagna and the Fontana della Barcaccia. With its tiny marble-top tables and velour settees, this 200-year-old institution has long been the haunt of artists and literati; it's closed Sunday. Johann Wolfgang van Goethe, Byron, and Franz Liszt were habitués; Buffalo Bill stopped in when his road show hit Rome. It's still a haven for writers and artists, and for ladies carrying Gucci shopping bags. The tab picks up considerably if you decide to sit down to enjoy table service.
