On 27 December 2005, I witnessed one Massimo T. (last name omitted to protect the guilty party), a native Italian and currently resident of Turin, drinking a cappuccino after lunch in the cafe below the Sacra di San Michele, near Avigliana. I am personally acquainted with aforesaid suspect.

Furthermore, when orally informed of the Italian rule against cappuccino after 11:00, he replied that he 1) had never heard that rule, 2)didn't care, anyway, and 3) knew plenty of Italians who drink cappuccino after 11:00.

To aggravate the offense, he also drank a cappuccino the following afternoon.

To the best of my knowledge, he is still at large.

This I affirm.

If your hotel offers a continental breakfast, you can also ask for caffe americano or caffe lungo there.

Or a cafe brodo or broth, which is what the Italians think of our coffee. I'm with the person who recommended Tazza d'Oro. We spent nine years living about two blocks from that Cafe. And the smells were wonderful. In the PM you should try a Cappucino freddo. Unlike Barsucks, the italians make their coffee in the AM and add sugar then put it in the Frigo to make it cold. Then they add cold milk. It's the high point of the day! You may have to stay over til summer to get it. But its worth it and then you don't have to deal with Sorebucks ice which dilutes the coffee. If you absolutely insist on American coffee, you might try the Encglish Tea Room, near the Spanish Steps.
Let us know when you return!
Ciao e buon viaggio

Oh degas, just my opinion, but don't have coffee at the English Tea Room by the Spanish Steps. Sorry imariba, but the English Tea Room is terrible IMHO.
