Il caffè è buonissimo. Molto cordiali. Purtroppo lo spazio è un po' ristretto.

Dropped in for breakfast when walking the city walls. Lovely fresh croissant and coffee set me up to do the remaining 4k! It's a cool, pleasant spot for watching the town go about its morning business.

Il mio bar preferito, la prima cosa che facevo la mattina era andare lì e comprare una tazza di cappucco con un panino salami e un dolce. Personale molto cordiale. My favorite cafe, first thing in the morning was to get there and buy a cup of Cappuccino with some salami sandwich and a sweet pastry. Staff is very friendly, even when you’re not Italian :-) Payment with card is possible, there’s even a hidden toilet available.

In pieno centro città, ottimo bar in cui prendere un caffè al volo o fermarsi x un aperitivo approfittando della piccola distesa esterna. Simpatica gestione familiare.
