The makers
Rosario Bavetta — nonna’s cooking, Bath coffee
“Rosario has poured his passion for both coffee and his nonna’s cooking into this curiously fabulous café.”
— rosarioscafe.co.uk / about
Rosario’s is a traditional Italian cafe in a Grade II listed Georgian building on Northumberland Place — ground-floor counter, outdoor tables for people-watching, and cosy upstairs seating overlooking Bath’s independent shops.
They roast and serve coffee with D J Miles of Porlock, pour quality leaf teas, and run a serious Sicilian pastry case (cannoli, aragostine, cassatine) alongside homemade cakes — with gluten-free options for most.
Menus cover all-day breakfast, panini, salads, soup, and sandwiches using mostly locally sourced ingredients. Retail bags of their speciality coffee sit under the pastry case for take-home.
Counter jars and freshly filled cannoli — guest photos match the official gallery.
What visitors say
~4.6 · cannoli, brunch, and a packed Bath alley
“I popped by for their amazing cannoli — Hazelnut and Pistachio. Shells were beautifully crisp with plenty of filling. You could tell they used proper pistachio and hazelnut creams.”
“Must visit if you're in Bath! Genuine Italian cafe — cozy atmosphere, warm welcome. My favourite is crema al caffè. Always packed but more seating upstairs.”
“We chose Nonna’s Sicilian meatballs, a ragu and a sausage and gorgonzola arancino. Finished with superb coffee and cakes. Stop here — it’s fantastic.”
“Cute little Italian coffee shop & brunch place in a narrow street. Coffee and three mini cannoli was a good deal. The owner was really attentive and friendly.”
“Nice little Italian cafe offering a good selection of food and drink, gluten free sandwiches and cakes available.”
“Wonderful service, amazing food, lovely atmosphere. My favourite restaurant in Bath by far. I definitely recommend the signature Rosario coffee!”
