Tre Scalini
 

Description

This historic cafe in Piazza Navona has been open since the start of the 1800s when it was an inn. In 1931 it reached the peak of its success largely thanks to a truffle-inspired confection which was invented by its manager, the secret recipe of which has been handed down ever since. The specialty is the tartufo (truffle) but there is also the usual array of coffee variations all of excellent quality. There are many tables outside which are always filled with tourists or businessmen.

Correct Information about Tre Scalini
By Ristorante, 4/20/12
Dear users, nice to meet you on the net. I am Emmanuele Gramaglia and our company, MITdesign, is in charge to manage the the image and the communication of Tre Scalini Restaurant, located in Piazza Navona, Rome. First of all we want to thank you mentioning our Restaurant-Gelateria. Our comment to kindly ask you if it is possible to change the address of the website of the restaurant and even its information, because they are wrong. Indeed there are restaurants with the same name located in Piazza Navona wich does not produce the Tartufo or, in some cases, just try to imitate it. The correct information are: Tre Scalini Piazza Navona 28 00186 Rome Tel: 06.68.80.19.96 Web: www . trescalini . it The website has also an english version. King regards. The management

I can't wait to go back!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/23/10
I loved everything about Tre Scalini! The food was Amazing! I had the Tre Scalini and it was like nothing I have ever had. The service was not that great, but the service in Italy period isn't that great. The view was perfect. I can't wait to go back! It is making my mouth water just thinking about it!

Best Lamb Chop and Fish & Inferior Gelato
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 8/16/08
Our family ate at Tre Scalini (in both the caffe & the restaurant) a few times while we were in Rome. The place has fresh fish and meat. At our first visit, we tried lamb chop, sea bass and pasta. My lamb chop was the best I've eaten anywhere. My wife loved the bass and my son enjoyed the simple yet delicious pasta dish. We tried other dishes at our next 2 visits and were equally satisfied with the quality of the food. I have to agree with the person who says that Tre Scalini's gelato is not good in comparison to those at other places in Rome but I guess one comes to Piazza Navona for the view and atmosphere rather than for ice-cream.

Tre Scalini in Rome
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/16/08
This is one of my favorite restaurants in Rome. When I was younger I would play my accordion in Piazza Navona for tips and then have dinner here as I watched the other acts. (I was an American student studying in Italy.) Sitting outside eating dinner or their famous Tartufo Gelato is a treat never to be forgotten especially when the street performers are in full swing. Later, I proposed to my wife over dinner here. While dinner is a bit pricey, the atmosphere and view make it worthwhile for a special occasion. If you're not bored by personal detail, here is my proposal story: The time was Christmas and I wanted to make an impression so I bought a small stuffed dog with a Christmas stocking around it's neck. The ring fit perfectly with only the diamond sticking out. We had a wonderful dinner and then I ordered dessert, coffee and champagne. At this point I gave her the package which she promptly unwrapped. She took the ring out and tried it on and said "nice ring". I then asked Well ??? .. and got the response ..."well what ?" Well, will you marry me. She looked at me and said, well I have to think about it. What I didn't realize is that Italians don't usually have engagements rings so this was a new concept to her. Talk about having your bubble burst. However, almost 20 years later we still laugh about it....still married. I'll never forget this place and plan to go back for our 20th anniversary.

Loser tourist trap
By nm, 6/13/07
The Gelato was inferior to any others I tried. They know they have a reputation-so they don't care about the product. Total tourist ripoff-any Gelateria is better.

Our favorite in Rome
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/2/07
I have been there 4-5 times over a period of 20 years. The atmosphere is inviting, non-rushed and the food was excellent. We are planning on stopping in again this year when we pass thru Rome.

20 years ago
By North, 9/8/05
I ate there when I was only 11 about 20 years ago. My brother and I still talk about the Tartufo (Gelato that is scooped into a ball and covered in chocolate). What a nice view you get there of the Piazza. I can't believe I remembered the name.
