Every city or town I visited in Italy had at least one place to get a soy cappuccino. Da Pulcinella is the place to go in Montepulciano. Times are changing, baby!
Da Pulcinella advertises on a sign outside that they have soy and rice milk available. I ordered a soy cappuccino, and asked if any of their pastries happened to be vegan. I was originally told no, but then another staff member swooped in and told me they had a vegan cornetto (kind of like a sweet Italian croissant). Score!
It was pretty good! The atmosphere leaves something to be desired (it's also a bar, so it's a little jarring to be welcomed by bottles of liquor at 9am), but they do have outdoor seating. It wasn't my favorite soy cappuccino but it hit the spot and I was thrilled to have the option. read more
