My apologies for giving these five-star reviews, but I have to call them as they are. This is an…read moreexcellent place, especially if one considers it's look vis a vis the area that it is in. It reminds me of an old Russian tea House past its prime but still elegant in it's once renowned Glory. I mean, this place is quite fancy in an understated way as many italian things seem to be. It is a tea shop, although they sell the full range of Italian pastries coffees chocolate and tea; everything that I have had here, literally, has been delicious. Those of you who read my reviews know that if I don't like something, y'all will know it and I'll try to say why but I can't really find anything about this place that I do not like. The staff, of course do not speak English but don't expect them to as you are in italy. They are friendly though and will help you in any way that they can with what you need from their place; no making you feel foolish here. Would I come here again? We've been here like three times already in the past 7 days so, yes.

I decided to visit this shop due to it's historical significance. This is a large cafe with several…read moreseparate rooms, some more casual, others more formal. During our stop, the staff seemed comprised of older men. While the staff out front seemed friendly, smiling as we passed in and out, our waiter was not at all helpful. We do speak a good amount of Italian, which turned out to be lucky as this gentleman gave no indication that he spoke English. However, he also did not try to speak much Italian. Just basically stopping by the table and waited for our order. Perhaps he assumed we would not understand him? He did however ask in Italian if I wanted my mandarin liquor warm or cold. After a long wait, he placed our drinks on the table without a word and walked away. We didn't see him again. This is the first Bicerin we tried and we were not at all wowed by it. We left with a sense of 'ok, we tried it but meh, we won't do that again'. (I did however try it again and had a much better experience elsewhere.) The value of our visit, based on quality of service and goods, would not warrant another visit to this location.

It didn't disappoint! The atmosphere is lovely, very regal and steeped in history.

The cafe is historical in one of the city main piazzas and had indoor and outdoor seating that is well shaded. Service was very friendly and professional. It was a great experience and felt like stepping back in time. The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is that I think they could work a little on the upkeep and overall feel of the cafe that while it does feel historical, it also feels a little "tired".

It's so cute. Old, quaint & iconically Italian. I ordered the iconic Bicerin--espresso, rich chocolate, and fresh cream layered in a small glass--and the first sip was pure deliciousness Warm, indulgent, and perfectly balanced. Paired with complimentary simple traditional biscuits, it was perfection. I loved it, not my waist though. Service is calm and understated, letting the history and quality speak for themselves.

It is on a pedestrian street that is comfortably lined with bike racks, benches and other shops and restaurants. I highly reccomend this Cafe to anyone that doesn't mind sharing a table with a sleeping cat and is looking for a place to meet/eat/drink/or work. The prices are amazing and they have several extensive menus to chose from depending on your craving. Cafeteria, sweets (catering to dietary restrictions, from sugar free to vegan) both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, and a daily lunch menu. They have such a great list of traditional piemontese drinks available that I always have a hard time choosing. I have tried the Cappuccino con Panna (about 40 percent panna which is why I love it) and the Aqua Menta. They have nice naturally lit seating indoors whether you are alone or with other people as well as seating on the second floor or outside. A great place to be inspired by a comforting warm drink and extreme raxation of the adorable cats sourrounding you.
