We tired of waiting in the line to visit the Duomo and found ourselves in need of lunch. Situated…read moreat the foot of the Duomo and bell tower, at least we could see it. We sat outdoors and were attended to almost immediately. Quick service, and prompt delivery of our food by a friendly server, softened the blow of not entering the church. Great food helped even more? We split spaghetti carbonara and a fried fish dish. Bread service was nice as the balsamic vinegar had Chianti added to it, a first for us. Sitting outdoors, you are close to your fellow patrons, but it is always nice to learn about where they are from and where thy are going. It started to rain just as we were getting served, but held off the heavy stuff until we finished, so we will always rember this meal.

What a surprise it was for me to find, in this small Italian city, a quaint little place like this that serves American desserts! I was there on a Saturday afternoon and there were brownies, a carrot cake, cupcakes, fudge bars and chocolate chunk cookies among other things (there were a couple of sandwiches, Italian-style cookies, macaroons and chocolate lollipops). There are four or five tables and you can order coffee, cappuccinos and other drinks together with your desserts. The ambience and decor are simple but contemporary and the nice thing about this cafe' is that they chose to not fill it up with tables so there is plenty of space for its guests. I inquired and they occasionally hold some cake design courses too (consultable online on their website). The only disappointing thing was that the display seemed a bit empty for a Saturday afternoon. There was a bit of everything but somehow I got the feeling as if we had arrived late and there was little left. The chocolate chunk cookie we had was delicious, perfectly American. Next time I will go back to try the brownies and cupcakes! Lovely atmosphere, WIFI available also, excellent place to rest and snack.
