Ex Circus - A true work cafe in the city center. Very small though.

Materia Cafe?
r/romeNovember 2025 Yes! Easy access to outlets at the tables along the walls. And good wifi, decent bathroom. I would work there for hours when I studied abroad and went back in early 2020 and it looked the same!
r/romeSeptember 2021 Doppiozeroo - I've never seen anyone else work here, but it's nice and has wifi, and at least one power outlet. Tasteful music not too loud.
r/romeApril 2022 The Illy cafes are good! I went to work there a few days with my laptop (one close to the Pantheon)
r/romeAugust 2024 Faro - Artigiani del caffè Specialty coffee shop
As a courtesy to the owner, you might want to remove Faro from the list as they have a limited time in which you can sit down and work in their cafe and it always depends on how busy they are at the time. So while it is possible, it's not really a cafe that you can always expect to be able to open up your laptop and work for a few hours.
r/romeSeptember 2021mixed Big Star and Litro are good if you don’t mind working with music in the background.
r/romeJune 2025mixed L'Emporio alla Pace
r/romeNovember 2025
