ABOUT Giovane Caffè

Giovane is inspired by a modern Italian caffè with roots in old world Italian heritage, offering a combination of classics like macchiato and traditional cappuccino along with modern iterations such as marocchino, shakerato and our own mandorlatte. The food offerings consist of Italian inspired sandwiches on traditional Roman bread along with salads and Italian pastries like cornetti, ciambella and torta caprese (to name a few).

In 2004, designer Enzo Mari humbly placed an ad in Domus Magazine (issue #875) with a beautifully written and vulnerable yet decisive letter seeking collaboration from a young entrepreneur. It was this letter that inspired the name Giovane (meaning ‘young’).

The coffee program at Giovane Caffè offers espresso aficionados a destination for ‘caffé speciali’, marrying Italian heritage with contemporary techniques by utilizing a rotation of local small-batch roasted beans and ideal extraction times to produce superior coffee with each pour. Guests can enjoy singular espresso experiences via Italian engineer Alfonso Bialetti’s iconic Moka Pots — a staple in many Italian households — or courtesy of the state-of-the-art Victoria Arduino Eagle One espresso machine.
