Bar in piazza Malatesta, abbiamo fatto un aperitivo qui per non andare fino al Pigneto. Devi ordinare dentro perché non prendono le ordinazioni poi ti portano quanto ordinato. Ho preso un Mojito, discreto, senza infamia e senza lode.

Za śniadanie dla 2 osób gdzie były kawy, kanapki i rogalii z pistacją zapłaciliśmy nie całe 10€, wszystko było pysze i sycące, obsługa przemiła a ogródki bardzo klimatyczne. Polecam serdecznie, na pewno wrócimy tam na następne śniadanie

Bar caffetteria storica gestita da persone di grande esperienza , la qualità e la scelta è assicurata . Lo adoro per un buon caffè e due chiacchiere garbate con il personale o per una tisana calda comodamente seduto al tavolino al sole di piazza Malatesta .

Ottimo caffè, decisamente il miglior caffè del quartiere servito con una sapiente miscela Arabica/Robusta. Decisamente ampia la scelta di dolci secchi e non, da migliorare l'offerta sul salato. Ambiente tipico del bar di quartiere anni '60/'70 (spero non cambi mai). Peccato solo ogni tanto si dimentichino di salutarti all'ingresso ma soprattutto all'uscita!
