I don't know if I got unlucky because most people seem to love the food here but I got the classic chicken panini & it was the most unflavored sandwhich I've ever had. It smells exactly like the mcjunior from mcdonalds becaue its pretty mich the same ingredients & I believe their sauce was mayonnaise. The sandwich was cold as well.

An excellent Café well located for for a cozy coffee or lunch break. Their classic chicken sandwich was incredible - a little bit pricey for a sandwich, but the quality & portion ends up being well worth it. The service was very friendly, I would certainly visit again for more frequent lunch breaks, although it fills up quite quickly due to its location.

I ordered a panini trio.

Parma Club panini (chicken, tomato, lettuce, mayonnaise, a bit of pancetta (~bacon)): chicken is dry so more sauce would have been better, but they give a lot of meat so it's an alright trade off.

Fries: seasoned fries with truffle mayo.

Aranciata soda: sweet orange soda, there is just the smallest bit of pulp at the bottom.

I tried the Parma salad, & it was tasty & overall very good. The bread seems like homemade. My friends tried the sandwich of the day & other types like grilled chicken. They looked yummy! The portion of French fries is big enough to share. This place is usually crowded, but it is possible to order & take away.
