Forno Conti & Co.

★ 4.3 (1,137)$ · Budget-friendly

Forno Conti & Co. has built a following on Via Giusti for its French toast, distinctive enough in texture that reviewers struggle to fully describe it, alongside reliably good coffee and focaccia. As a bakery-café it leans toward quick, budget-friendly visits, though some reviewers note that operations and seating management could improve during busy brunch periods. Its moderate key scores across culture, local, and trendy reflect a solid neighbourhood bakery rather than a landmark destination. It's a good option for a fast, tasty breakfast rather than a leisurely sit-down brunch.

What people say

"#toast 612 + 619 — @fornoconti.roma French toast The bread texture here was so interesting - I can’t quite put a word to it fully… it’s textured and at times very chocolatey/ fudgey… yet still able to hold its shape. I really enjoyed all the fun textures here. Though the toast of the day fell a little short in terms of flavors - i personally don’t like caramelized onions which might have taken away the overall experience of the dish. Kind of hoped that there was more filling + spicy honey could’ve been a little more spicy! Have to say that strangely somehow, this place reminds me of LA. Healthy, tasty and pretty aesthetics. If you come on the weekends, get ready to wait! Follow @nomkakaii on Instagram for more toast travels!"
