Very friendly and family atmosphere, good quality of food and good service. The owner was amazingly nice and helpful. As a tourists it was a great experience for us. Even the clientèle was so friendly, most of them locals and regulars. With a simple and homely wibe we even didn't notice that we spend half of our day there and made friends with the owner and regular customers. 5 stars all around.

Excellent little spot! The owner is a jewel of a human being. She makes the best Aperol spritz. We drank her cappuccino every morning and enjoyed her hospitality throughout our stay. This is a local spot, so not overrun with tourists which is a huge plus. Highly recommended!
