Very nice and cozy place in the old town. The cannoli was delicious. We received snacks with the Coca-Cola free of charge. Update: we have been there four times because of the good food, service and atmosphere.

Cute little cafe serving a very wide menu. We had a couple of lemon cello spritz, some panzerotti fritti and a salad. All were great. We found the service to be quick and helpful. Great place to stop for a drink or more substantial meal.

We came here almost everyday on our 10 day trip. Everything is good. The location is on the street so the people watching was really good. Marco (they might all be called Marco, we heard his name being called a lot) ran around serving everyone. By the end of the first week we were calling the place Marcos. Thoroughly recommend it!
