About Caffè Reggio
Caffè Reggio opened in 1927 and has barely changed since. The 1902 espresso machine still stands against the back wall like a bronze monument. Jack Kerouac wrote here. Bob Dylan played nearby. The marble tables, Renaissance paintings, and chandelier light make every visit feel like the city paused just for you.
