While I had a ton of fun taking my aggressions out on the pitch, let's just say I was less than perky this morning...fast forward past the rolling out of bed at 8:10, throwing my hair in a messy bun and being significantly late for work, and I was more than ready for a pick me up by lunch time...
Enter, Cafe Roma, one of downtown Sacramento's newest little gems....from pizza, pasta and soup, to the most decadent gelato this side of the Atlantic, you have to check this place out on L street! Beyond the food and friendliness of staff, this little self professed coffee fiend finds them to have the BEST doppio espresso!
Don't let this mini 'tazo' (that's italian for cup or mug) fool you, if it is strong enough for my coffee snob tastebuds, this bambino of flavor explosion will surely blow your socks off...don't say I didn't warn you!
A little tip of advice.... nothing makes an Italian cringe more than having American's come into their bar in the afternoon or evening and order a cappuccino, these drinks are reserved for breakfast and breakfast only! So the next time you randomly find yourself at a Roman bar in the late afternoon, any cafe between here and there would do of course, order yourself a nice strong shot of love, because a doppio espresso always makes life a little more va bene.
PS- it also didn't help that I got to enjoy such an amazing lunch with Claire, sitting outside in the 60 degree weather in February!
PPS- Cafe Roma's Friday special is a $1 doppio, my dreams have come true!
Ciao
