Ristorante Ducati Caffè

Eventually soon, I'll get to writing up Rome properly but in the meantime I couldn't wait to post this one up, especially for my dear friends Hamish and Lynda who I'm sure will be reading this.


We visited this place for some light refreshments, it's a cafe created by Ducati itself (not just a privately owner themed cafe). We sat at a spare table directly below a 1198 hanging on the wall which was pretty cool.


We had eaten lunch not long before arriving so we opted for a drink each, I had a beer and Helen a mojito. Truth be known, both were a little average but was a novelty to drink at a Ducati cafe in Rome. The Ducati website states:

Two Ducati Caffès have opened so far, one in Rome and the other in Seoul, but several more openings are planned for the Middle east, Far East and the USA. Moreover, the company has reserved itself a smallscale "taste" of Ducati Caffè style by setting up, at its Bologna-based production plant, its own Ducati Caffè Factory.

And naturally they have a gift shop attached, the only item that caught my eye was the Diavel sitting in the middle but we thought it might put us over our baggage allowance!

The menus were called "User Guides" and laid out like the owners manual for a bike, nice touch.
