Laptop-friendly cafés in Pigneto, Rome for studying and remote work
As a blogger and a student currently writing my bachelor thesis, I could probably call myself somewhat of an expert when it comes to laptop-friendly cafés in Rome where you can study, work, or read in peace. I have already written an article about such cafés in Rome, but this time the location is a little more specific, namely one of my favourite neighborhoods in Rome: Pigneto.
To me, this creative neighborhood is a great place to be if you want to get inspired or, of course, productive. In this article, I will tell you all about my three favourite spots for remote work, studying, or reading in Pigneto.
If you would love to discover more cafés like these in the future, make sure to subscribe to my newsletter, as I’m planning on creating similar guides for different neighborhoods in Rome.
The Best Places to Study in Rome: Tips from an International Student
I have to admit, for the longest time I was a very loyal study-at-home girl. You could not get me to study in a library or at university, too many distractions if you ask me (a lot of people would say the same about studying at home). But in recent times, things have changed. Maybe it is because I have been studying for a while, but I needed a change of scenery and decided to give studying outside of my comfortable room another chance.
I went out with my books and tested spots in Rome that are perfect for studying, so with delight I can now present my list of the best places to study in Rome. If they managed to convince me to study outside of my home, trust me, they are worth it.
4 Best Cafes in Rome for Reading, Studying and Working (2026 Guide)
Storytime! A couple of years ago I was living in Amsterdam and at the time I was working nearly 50 hours a week. My only free day was Sunday and on those Sundays my favourite ritual was to head to a cozy café with a good book, sink into a couch and order one (or sometimes two, desperate times) slices of cake.
Since moving to Rome I’ve realized that café culture feels very different here. It is much harder to find that same relaxed vibe, the kind of place where you can spend hours unbothered, surrounded by good coffee, homemade cake and a welcoming atmosphere.
So last week I made it my mission to track down those places in Rome, because I was sure they had to exist. Cafés where you don’t feel rushed but instead feel comfortable, inspired and free to read, study or get work done. And I’m happy to say I found them! Here are the 4 best cafés in Rome for reading, studying and working.
Top 4 English-Speaking Hairdressers in Rome (2026)
While my Italian is now probably good enough that I will not leave a salon with blue hair or a random bob, this was definitely not the case when I first moved to Rome as an international student. Back then I spent a lot of time Googling English-speaking hairdressers in Rome hoping to find someone who could understand exactly what I wanted.
I thought it would be fun to share the four English speaking hairdressers in Rome that I have tried so far and truly loved. They are all talented, friendly, and kind of affordable which was important for me as a student. There are of course many more salons out there, but these are the ones that worked for me and always left me feeling great about my hair.
Where to Find English Books in Rome: 4 Must-Visit Bookstores
I must admit, when it comes to the number of books I read each year, I feel like I might have peaked. In 2023, I read 43 books. In 2024, that number dropped to 17, and so far in 2025, I have only read 5. It’s not that I enjoy reading any less. I have simply spent more time on other hobbies lately, which has left me with a rather sad-looking Goodreads page.
However, it is my goal to start reading more again, so I thought this would be the perfect moment to share my favourite English-language bookshops in Rome. When I first moved to Rome, I was a little afraid I wouldn't find bookstores with a good selection of English books, but over time I found some great spots. If you're in Rome and looking for English books, here are the shops I recommend.
