The space is narrow and feels a bit more claustrophobic than it likely is in reality because the back wall is stacked from floor to ceiling with merchandise, and the space opposite it is the counter. There's a narrow strip that's just wide enough for a human to pass through before bumping up against the teeny tiny tables that are shoved up against the wall o' merch. Despite all that, we liked the vibe of the place. It's loud and crowded and chaotic, yes (and this was even during "shoulder season", I can't imagine what the place looks like in the high season!) But the staff was incredibly friendly, the patrons - lots of locals, from the way they interacted with staff and slammed their espresso - were accommodating and the drinks were hot and expertly made. The first round of drinks - on our first trip - didn't take too long to get crafted and served. But on our second stop, my husband made the mistake of ordering a pour-over coffee, which the nice man at the counter said they could do, but it'd be a bit longer. Boy howdy, was he not wrong. It took almost 10 minutes for his drink to come out, and the guy kept giving us updates to let us know we hadn't been forgotten. We were fine with waiting - it was a no-activity day for us - but I did feel like I was getting in other people's way just standing like a lump near the door. The coffees are good and strong, and decently priced, though, and they have an expansive menu that goes beyond coffees, to teas and pastries and beyond. We never got the chance to try anything more than their bean juice, but had we been in the city longer, we might have gone back for more.

The owner and staff were all very friendly and welcoming and remembered us when we came back. They also grind their coffee for you to take home and I was able to get some espresso and french press blends for gifts. They have coffee tins as well which make great gifts. The croissants were the best we had in Italy too! Definitely recommend.

I give these guys a solid 5 stars. Now that I have moved back to this neighborhood, my morning…read morecoffee stop is without a doubt Piansa - which is a fairly new shop. I call it "coffee with the newsies". Always greeted with a smile from either a groovy pair of glasses or a couple friendly guys with newsboy caps. It's definitely hipster and the decor reminds me of a cosy brooklyn coffee shop. My kinda place. I have become a regular and I might add that the coffee is quite good as I take my espresso senza zucchero (without sugar) so I really experience the taste of every coffee i drink and this coffee is smooth! They also have a lovely selection of morning pastries. Yesterday I finally stopped with a friend for aperativo. Good move. We had some nice apero spritz and they brought us a charcuterie tray. We had some fun conversation with the newsies and were asked to sign their espresso machine. Christened as regulars!! Great way to start out our night. Of course I have already been back today for my morning coffee.

Really cute cafe just a little ways from the amazing bakery up the street. The baristas are well…read moremannered and snappy and the espresso very clean, creamy and light. My espresso was out in a minute after ordering, and I shot mine down with some Italians from the neighborhood. There isn't quite enough room at the bar to drink, but if you sit down you'll be charged a fee, so the cafe is best if you're looking for a quick espresso, unless you plan on staying there long term and sitting down to eat, read, relax. It was fairly quiet in the cafe, so it'd make for a good place to work or catch up with a friend.

We stopped here as we were passing through town. They knocked it out of the park with four out of…read morefour meals. We read that the area is known for tagliatelle so I got that and it was amazing. I'm not a big pasta fan but if we had this back in the states I'd have it regularly. The service was great as well and the experience for the quick pit stop on the way to the Ferrari museum hit the spot perfectly. Parking is tough but there is a very friendly garage just a couple blocks away.

4 and a half stars!…read more We came in for lunch as restaurant opened at 12.30. Place was full within 30 minutes. Small restaurant with excellent service. Tried the broad bean puree and Roman style artichoke side dish as starters. Both were delicious. For mains we had the lasagne Bolognese and tagliatelle Gessetto. Both were excellent. Hubby and I switched mid meal so we each had half of each pasta dish, neither of us could pick a favorite. The lasagne is cut into squares and baked so you have the best crunchy bits all round...what a great idea! I would be here weekly if I lived in the area! Come early or make a reservation to avoid waiting in line

Got coffee in here, and it was alright, just normal. Nothing special nor anything bad about itread more

A little stuffy on the server having to deal with tourists ordering things too early in the day. So no pasta for us! lol. Silly Italians. Topped everything off with Pistachio gelato's and all was well. No toilet. Or at least non that I found.
