Gatsby Cafè, Coffee spot and takeaway restaurant in Piazza Vittorio, Rome, Italy.
Gatsby Cafè is a café and takeaway restaurant in Piazza Vittorio spread across three levels with different functions. The ground floor serves as a café, the second floor houses a hat museum, and the third floor contains the kitchen and an event space.
The venue was created by transforming a former Newsboy Gatsby hat shop through the efforts of five young entrepreneurs. These owners intentionally preserved elements from the original shop's history while developing it into a modern café and restaurant.
The place blends sustainable design with 1950s vintage style, reusing furniture from materials of the former hat shop. This approach keeps the memory of the location's past alive while giving it a distinctive character.
The venue sits near Metro A station and offers extended operating hours that differ between weekdays and weekends. Visitors should know that exact times may vary depending on the season.
The second floor holds a dedicated hat museum displaying vintage headwear in glass cases that references the location's former business. This collection makes the place a special stop for anyone interested in hat history or local craft traditions.
