Il Maritozzaro

Perfectly balanced maritozzi! Amazing flavor ?

Old school bakery and the perfect place to try fresh baked maritozzi.

You must try this when you’re in Rome. It was fresh, light and delicious! Price is perfectly reasonable.

The best and most authentic Maritozzo in Rome in my opinion. It's a bit far from the center but so worh it! Costs 2 euro's and it is made there by the owner. If you'll go there you won't be dissapointed.

On an unassuming corner in Trastevere one finds Il Maritozzaro, and since 1960 this independently-owned Bar has dedicated itself to Rome’s signature Pastry while maintaining nondescript hours that usually find the place open from 06h30 until past midnight every day but Monday. Not far from Stazione Trastevere, a no-frills appearance in a residential neighborhood assuring minimal tourist traffic, it is upon entry that Il Maritozzaro reveals itself as little more than 200 square meters, a lone table seeing most guests belly to the Bar downing Espresso shots before departing with a Pastry in their hand. Apparently hopping late-night, but also with a steady stream of traffic en route to work, most guests predictably select Il Maritozzaro’s eponymous Pastry, the split-top Bun that was once the only sweet allowed during Lent nearly over-loaded with Cream just as it has been since the Middle ages. Moving beyond Maritozzi, its subtle sweetness seeing the substantial portion eat lighter than one might expect, those seeking something more sugary should consider a Peach-shaped Biscuit sandwiching Custard while an unlabeled asterisk with Raisins and glaze shows Il Maritozzaro to also perform well with laminated Pastry. Not about to forgo Sfogliatelle, tight layers shattering to the tooth before yielding citrusy Ricotta, a rounded Torta Caprese finished the morning with a slightly dry crumb but plenty of Cocoa suspended in the bittersweet matrix.

good coffee and they have vegan (soy) milk ??

Seriously good value for money. It is best known for its signature pastry: il maritozzaro, a sweet, fluffy bread bun filled to the brim with light whipped cream. How can something so simple be so delicious?

Fresh, tasty and not heavy, it was worth to come from more touristic area. I like also for italian atmosphere!
