We walked over around 8:30 AM and found that it was still there, but it was closed and had a sign that said they opened at 9:00 AM. We walked by again around 9:15 AM and the place was still closed, completely dark, and with no signs of activity. I figured the business had gone away. We found baked goods elsewhere and went on with our day. Later that afternoon we happened to pass by again, and the store was open with a small selection of cannoli and some other sweets. So it seems like in its current state, this is a mid-afternoon bakery of confections. Or something. If you want bread, go to Crai.

The older lady behind the counter noticed my daughter couldn't figure out what she wanted and so she made some recommendations for us and gave her a piece of focaccia bread that she enjoyed on the house.

We came here and they have a good selection of pastries made in house that were really good! The coffee was good as well. What was really outstanding was the service! I accidentally ordered the wrong coffee for my grandfather and when I went to fix it they offered to do it for me! They really didn't have to because it was my mistake not theirs but they were really very kind about the entire situation! The prices if you order at the bar are essentially the same as at every other bar in Italy. If you order and bring your own items to the tables you don't pay a coperto. It's only if you have table service that you pay higher prices. I would absolutely come back here again! A gem near the duomo with good prices even in the middle of tourist season!

We got a table right at the water's edge, and were served promptly. We ordered croquets and a couple of pizzas.

My wife had the Carbonara pizza (a white pizza with egg, porcetta, and cheese), and I had the Mammamia with tomato, fresh mozzarella and DELICIOUS spicy sausage (not too spicy, just a pleasant zing of heat). Their gelato selection looked pretty good too, but we were too full to indulge. If you find yourself in Porto Venere, definitely try this place!
