EspressoBase is one of the more unusual locations in our guide as it is entirely outdoor, in a churchyard covered only by large umbrellas, gazebos, and greenery. Nevertheless, it is a wonderful place to enjoy thoroughly contemporary Italian-style coffee. Equally charming is the owner Gennaro, whose passion and attentiveness towards the coffee and customers keep locals coming back again and again. In fact, Gennaro's craft is so honed that locals regularly make the pilgrimage to EspressoBase whenever they're in the capital. So, if you're keen to break with the convention of bricks-and-mortar coffee shops, let this unique spot take you on a spiritual journey towards a more harmonious world.
