Tulipane

Step inside Tulipane and you’ll feel like you’ve wandered onto a film set. With fresh flowers adorning the space, beautiful hand-painted ceramics on display, and an interior that oozes old-world Roman charm, this bakery in the Parione neighborhood is as photogenic as it is delicious. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger over your coffee and take in every detail.

The star of the show here is undoubtedly the cinnamon bun—a revelation of soft, pillowy dough swirled with just enough cinnamon and topped with a perfectly sticky glaze. It’s the kind of pastry that reminds you why simple things done well are always worth seeking out. But don’t overlook the pizza either; topped with unexpected combinations like sweet leeks and punchy aged cheese, it proves that Tulipane has range beyond the pastry case.

Whether you choose to settle into their spacious back room for a leisurely lunch or grab your order to go for a stroll toward the Tiber, the experience is equally rewarding. This is an ideal spot for a solo afternoon break or a casual catch-up with friends who appreciate good baked goods in beautiful surroundings.

For anyone exploring Rome’s historic center, Tulipane offers a welcome respite from the crowds—a place where the food matches the ambiance and every bite feels like a small celebration.
