"They came for an espresso, and they never left";

That's exactly what Le Cafe would make you do. Opened by the fashionista Ravi Bajaj, Ritu and Gita, this little cafe takes you to the back alleys of Rome. A cup of coffee with Ritu's rich chocolate brownies and bacon quiches is all one needs to just sit back, relax and watch the world go by.
