Back to the list

It's one of the few spots in Rome (or maybe the only one) that can allow itself to overturn the rules of the game... As if by magic (given off by its century-old history) the roles are inverted, and the truth is that certain stars are only talked about if they come to the "Pace" and not the exact opposite, which takes place in other spots that instead "pay" a debt of gratitude to famous visitors. The list of celebrities who frequent the bistrot (Libery-style in marble and wood with a Corinthean column in the center of the room) is just about infinite, enough to fill a book: Beat poets Alan Ginsberg and Gregory Corso, painter Sandro Chia, Francis Ford Coppola, Al Pacino, Bob de Niro, Prince, the Rolling Stones, Patty Smith... And even the Pope (His Holiness came to have breakfast at dawn together with the diplomatic staff of the Holy See) and Madonna (the singer, not the virgin) fleeing from the paparazzi. The cafe is also renowned for its beautiful waitresses, for whom even the VIPs line up. Recent visitors include Rupert Everett, Ela Weber and Monica Bellucci, though it's impossible to name all of the illustrious habités of the cafe, a true "monument" of the Dolce Vita.
