Excellent Sardinian-influenced bakery cafe near Spanish Steps with tasty pizza al taglio and sweets; food praised, but service inconsistency and occasional policy issues can frustrate.
The Baker of Sardinia delivers excellent food quality—fresh pizza al taglio, focaccia, and standout amaretti that justify its loyal following—in a charming side-street setting near the Spanish Steps. However, inconsistent service ranging from warm to dismissive and operational friction around seating policies prevent a higher grade. For a quick Roman snack or pastry run, it's a solid neighborhood gem; expect variable execution rather than reliable excellence.
One caveat: Service inconsistency: reports of rudeness, forgotten orders, and slow billing during busy times
