Sooner or later you'll stumble across a small shop on a lane near Piazza Navona on TikTok. Hundreds of videos, always the same image: a queue on the pavement, excited faces, and then the first spoonful. The place is called Two Sizes – and the hype is justified.
What is Two Sizes?
Two Sizes is not a restaurant, not a café, not a sit-down experience. It's a small tiramisu shop on Via del Governo Vecchio 88 – one of Rome's most beautiful pedestrian lanes running from Campo de' Fiori towards Piazza Navona. The concept is simple: queue up, choose your flavour, pay, eat as you walk. No tables, no reservation, no fuss.
That's exactly what makes it so good.
The Queue – No Need to Panic
Yes, there's a queue. Almost always. But it moves faster than it looks – most visitors report 5 to 20 minutes waiting time even at peak hours. The team is well-drilled, friendly and fast.
The trick: decide your flavour before you reach the counter. Dithering at the till costs time – and the patience of the people behind you.
The Flavours
- Caffè – the classic, creamy and intense
- Caramello – sweeter, but not over the top
- Pistacchio – pistachio cream meets the classic mascarpone base. The most recommended flavour. If you only try one, make it this.
- Peanut Butter – divisive. You'll either love it or find it too sweet. But it's definitely an experience.
- Fragola (Strawberry) – fruity, lighter, perfect in summer
