This famous café makes one of the best affogatos in the city. This time, we chose the nocciola ice cream, & it was exquisite. I can't wait to go back to try the pistachio affogato ice cream. 100% recommended!

This place is a true institution. You come here for the vibe & the history more than anything else. It is not fancy & does not try to be which is exactly why I like it so much. The coffee is consistently strong & it is the ideal spot to start your day before heading into the office. I recommend grabbing a seat outside if the weather allows because the energy on the street is always fantastic.

Petit café très fréquenté. Je recommande le café crema pour se rafraîchir ! Le croissant à la crème de pistache était bon & généreusement garni.

I ordered an affogato which I always do! However the ice cream was so so bad so I asked them to change it for a remix & so far what I got was worse! Although I am used to enjoy my coffee regularly here but I don't think I would recommend it anymore! Quality not same apparently! Ho cod this in the picture be a remix?
