Opened in Via Due Macelli by Anne Mary Babington and Isabel Cargill for the English-speaking community in Rome, it is the most quintessentially English tearoom in Italy. In 1896 it moved to Piazza di Spagna, next to the steps up to Trinità dei Monti. The Savoys came here, as did Palazzeschi, Fellini, Bergman, and Minelli. During the twenty years of Fascism, the little room at the end was a meeting place for anti-Fascist intellectuals, while party officials sat in the front room. In an elegant Victorian style, with an ancient fireplace often lit in winter, it offers over thirty blends of tea specially created for the waters of Trevi. Run by the fourth-generation Mrs Cargill.
