Typical tourist spot with a good central piazza location ... and bad everything else. If you want to sit and enjoy a drink while looking out at the piazza and people watching, you'll be okay. If you come thinking you'll get an amazing drink, meal, etc. you'd be better off not stopping.
For a bar whose clientele is made up of tourists, they don't seem to like tourists at all. Our waiter pretty much treated us in the same way as when you come home and find your cat sitting on the dinner table. Though he did not spray us with a water bottle, his attitude was that of, 'I hate these people ... when does my shift end?'
When our drinks came to the table, we noticed that they were all about 60% full (including lots of ice). Every other place in Cortona which we went to served a full drink. We probably would have had two drinks here, since we paid the table charge ... but decided not to because of the partially full drinks. Also, just FYI, there is a fee if you use a credit card vs. paying in cash.
Come for the view and people watching ... but know that you aren't really welcome if you are a tourist, which is odd because this feels like one of the most touristy bars in the world. read more
