But then, hey, we were there and we tried many other carb-infused goodies. I enjoyed the potato and ham quiche (not sure what the name was), but I have to agree with my friend, the focaccia is good enough as it is. I didn't find the sweets as appetizing, but I haven't tried them, so I can't comment on that. They'll give you a hard time if you try paying with a credit card, for alleged "accounting issues". Yea, right...

From pastries to lunch, aperitif and light dinner fare. The tables outside are very nice and surrounded by planters and covered by umbrellas. The internet works very well and we needed it. They also have ice creams and sweets and everybody was kind and helpful. The price is right and every time you order they bring you extra things like chocolate or pieces of coconut. One of their pastries is called tartufella and it is a delicious pastry with a nut based chocolate.

On that rainy day we bought a couple of small patisseries - all very good - and three smaller slices of three different cakes. And two of them were especially good. They had some nuts and what I assume poppy seeds in them. Combined with jam and sour berries. It's a really good mix of nutty and sour flavours. And also quite filling. It's the kind of stuff you want to find and try when travelling. Something different, something that doesn't come of a mainstream producer. And that's definitely the case here. The patisserie was good, but it's the cakes that makes this place very special. Staff is very friendly and very helpful. Prices are on the lower end.

We found Panificio Dama when were walking down the city streets looking for something to drink and a quick bite to eat. Their window caught our I and we definitely had to stop in.

Sapori di pane is a great stop for a brief snack or even lunch with a wide array of focaccia bread…read morepizzas. It's a small hole-in-the-wall that can easily be side stepped, but it's well worth the visit. My boo and I stopped in after meandering through Santa Margherita. We had a hefty breakfast just a few hours before and were feeling a little drained from the hot summer sun. Hence, we decided to grab a quick snack instead of a sit down lunch. Boy, oh boy. We lucked out! This place was deeeeelicious. The focaccia bread was soft and well-seasoned; it was a perfect complement to the marinara and sacchino cheese topping. While there were only a few whole olives atop the pizza, the rich olive flavor came through and blended well with the rest. As a cherry on top, it was only €2.70 for a large rectangular piece! Would highly recommend this cute little place. Other tips: only has one small 2-seater so not great to stay...more of a grab and go. Make sure you grab a ticket from the front entrance- this serves as your place in line. We had to wait 5-7min for our turn.
