What an amazing experience. We are so happy that we stopped by. Alyssa (I hope I am spelling her name correctly:) was the sweetest person & made us feel so welcomed. We loved the cocktails (Negroni & Sbagliato) with the snacks they brought with drinks. We highly recommend to try this cute & fun place
Used to be a great place for aperitivo with samples of food that kept on coming. Went back in the hope the Italian roots were still there but even after multiple cocktails orders we only received the
chips & 2 fried balls. That was very disappointing for people that arrived afterwards & didn't get any food. I wouldn't recommend this place anymore.

We stopped by for a quick cocktail one evening & learned that they also habe morning coffee bar service, so we went back in the morning for a cafè & cornetto.
Cocktails were very good, perfectly mixed at a good price. We had cappuccinos with 3 corenttos in the morning (apricot, Nutella & butter); coffee was made perfectly & corentto were fresh from the oven.
Seating area is small, but even when it was busy you can have a conversation. I would not recommend going with more than 3 or 4 people though, given the shape of the space (a rather narrow rectangle).
The service is very friendly & just attentive enough; I didn't feel hurried but felt we were given time & space to relax & chat.
This has been commented on before, but it certainly has an Italian bar vibe like you get in Roma or Napoli. Would highly recommend this bar!
J'y suis allé ce lundi & quelle expérience formidable . Mention spéciale a notre serveur Louka qui nous a chouchouter du début à la fin en plus de nous faire de bonne recommandations adaptées à nos besoins! Honnêtement je recommande!
Quelle belle découverte! L'ambiance chez Edicola est à la fois décontractée & raffinée, avec une superbe sélection de cocktails.
Jérôme nous a servis, c'était exceptionnel! Un vrai serveur en or avec beaucoup de flair. Ses conseils & son sens de l'humour ont rendu notre expérience encore plus agréable.
Bref, une adresse où l'on se sent pris en charge du début à la fin. J'y retournerai sans hésiter & je la recommande vivement.
Bar Edicola is a brand new spot where Andrea & his partners, also owners of Bar Caffetiera, have done an outstanding job. It's the perfect Italian experience: the meat was delicious (a cooking style meant to be eaten cold & surprisingly tasty), the pasta was insane, & the cold cut plate was truly A1.
We came here right after getting engaged & would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique Italian experience. The staff is absolutely amazing, the food is excellent, & the ambiance is simply impeccable. Perfect for those 5-7 vibes when you just want great food, a good atmosphere, & a touch of Italy.
Definitely Overpriced! The eggplant was delicious but I think it's cause I like eggplants by default lolol 🤷?♀? the drinks were mid. Thing that bothered me the most - their water glasses smelled like a dirty rag (IYKYK) The atmosphere was sweet. Overall, would not recommend though.
I was transported back to my summer trip in Italy. We tried the Negroni, Aperol & White Spritz & Gin Balon, & they were all perfect. It's a fun a vibrant place. The staff is passionate & friendly. I could spend my whole day here from the Caffe to Aperitivo to Dinner & Wine bar 😁. Highly recommend.
