The cuisine focuses on Italian specialities, particularly known for its unparalleled sandwiches, pasta, and fresh salads. Visitors can enjoy delectable cordiale or a fine glass of wine, complementing dishes such as the notably fresh eggplant caponata or the delicious arancini. A highlight for many is the cannoli, freshly filled to order, alongside offerings that sometimes feature a unique Sicilian flavour with toasted sesame.

I particularly appreciated the quality of the products: fragrant artisanal croissants, generously filled tramezzini, and a coffee that paired everything with just the right amount of heat. The staff was courteous, willing to explain what they were serving, and happy to recommend a few specials of the day. There's also a good selection of sandwiches and drinks if you want to stop for a light aperitivo.
The atmosphere is suitable for those looking for a place to work with a coffee and free Wi-Fi, as well as those who simply want to relax and read a book. Although it's not in the historic center, I think it's a little gem for those who want to experience Rome through its less touristy locales.
In short: Bistrot 23 is one of those places that pampers you with simplicity, good quality, and a genuine atmosphere. I'd gladly return to try the cocktails and savory dishes, which looked promising.
