Rompercicci

The chickpea and minced-meat dry curry is also available as part of a lunch set with a mini salad. One diner who tried it praised the combination of chickpeas and keema, served with dessert. It can suit a leisurely lunch or a pause to listen to music.

Choose a sauce for the penne, with options including tomato, arrabbiata, tomato cream and cheese cream. One review mentions ordering the penne arrabbiata; the choice of sauces lets you match the dish to your appetite.

For dessert, there is a plate of gateau chocolat with vanilla ice cream. One diner appreciated the generous serving of ice cream. Pair it with coffee or one of the many teas, whether you are finishing a meal or stopping for a break.

Rompercicci is a café where guests are asked to refrain from conversation and computer use and instead listen to the jazz. It may appeal to anyone looking to read alone or spend some time with a coffee or chai. The café has a particular approach to how guests spend their time, so go for a quiet stretch of listening. Payment is cash only.
