As others have said, you are really good for the view and ambiance as the everything is very overpriced. It was lovely sitting outside for breakfast while it was cool to enjoy the scenery and music. You are charged extra per person when there is live music, plus 20% service charge for the music portion. The food was decent and fresh and service was pleasant. Be careful of the birds if eating outside and you are told to cover your food when not eating. There is also 10% service charge for the food already added to the bill.

We had the Arancino with Ham and Cheese (4,50€). We were exploring the area in the morning so we asked for takeaway, or to go. The lady warmed it up for me. Biting into it was so intriguing. The exterior was a gritty corn exterior. We think it was a corn meal exterior? The inside was very cheese. The ham was rich and decadent. Definitely a nice snack and worth trying when exploring but it was definitely pricy for a small snack.

(Yes I am a tourist also) this place is perfect for that. They have a variety of sandwiches, pastries and coffee. Also juices and other drinks for those who don't do java. There is inside and outside seating. I prefer outside, until someone starts smoking. Unfortunately there is a lot of that here in Italy. Our server was nice, but misunderstood our order due to language barrier, but he tried. He got my coffee right and that was all that mattered to me, I didn't need to eat that sandwich anyway! Great place for a quick bite in main street.

Amazing Oreo donut!…read more The Oreo donut was surprisingly. It has a cream filling inside the center. It is delicious! The Oreo is a good flavor and I like the Oreo cookie pieces on top. That's a 10/10 donut. My husband got a coffee here too. He said it was good. Nothing fancy, just a basic cup of coffee. 10/10 Service was good. They were friendly and patient with us. My card didn't work the first time and I had to do it twice. They were patient though and understanding. The ambiance is casual. This is a place you walk up and order, then grab and go.

Started in 1948 by Luciano and his wife, it's now run by their two sons. The warmth and hospitality of a family owned business shines through and they're proud to show the quality merchandise they have on hand. A dizzying 600 Italian wines can be found towards the back of the store and you're welcome to stay and peruse as long as you want. We choose a half bottle of Moscato for the bf's sister in law which went well with the biscottis they had on hand too. They carry a good variety of chocolate and candies, pastas, dried goods etc. But you really need to come for the spices! Every spice known to man is here in this shop, kept in tightly sealed glass canisters or wooden boxes. They are weighed and you're charged accordingly. Don't miss their truffle salt and truffle butter! I only got mini bottles of both since there was no more room in our luggage! We couldn't be more happier with our purchases here and at a fraction of a cost if we would've gone to a big chain store. A great find!
