Really glad we tried this place. It often caught my attention whenever I passed by but it never felt the right time.
One obstacle for us is that they don't seem to have any indoor seating and I couldn't see any heating system outdoor.
The Spritz were good, in particular the one with Campari without ice. Proper solid Italian spritz.
The Pizza offered us a chance to get a couple of very welcome warm bites.
I bought some Bacio di Dama that I ate once home. Sooo good, to die for.

Extremely rude staff (Italian woman with blue hair), speaking unprofessionally and condescendingly to customers. Horrible attitude and will avoid this place based on this alone.
Dishonest pricing and attempt at overcharging customers. “Tea” is 2.60 on the menu, but they charge 2.60 for black tea only, while herbal and green tea is 2.90. I ordered “green tea”, a very simple order, yet they gave me a cup black tea(?). To be fair, they later reluctantly replaced it with green tea when they realised the disappointed look on my face.
Please update the menu and state the prices clearly. It’s not about the 30c, it’s about being honest and transparent with your customers.
As for the quality of the drinks and food, they’re good and I have no objections there.

Delicious pizza and fresh coffee top notch for lunch at a decent price :-)
We try to stop here every time we are in the city centre for three reasons: great coffee, delicious desserts and service with a smile. Máximo is a gentleman and on our most recent visit he was very proud to tell us about the desserts and how they are made by hand and take quite some time. There aren’t many seats but the seats outside are great when the weather is good. My partner always gets the pistachio cannoli which she loves and I get the sfogliatella. I’ve never had a dessert quite like it before and love all the crispy layers and the creamy filling with orange rind. The last time we were there we also bought some coffee to take home which Maximo kindly ground up for us. Worth a visit even for a take away coffee and some delicious treats
Coffee is very nice but for an "italian"-ish place their cannelloni could be much better. They ate nothing like italian and the feeling has no taste. Such a shame. Good location though to watch people go by.
Never disappointed at “il fornaio”.
Staff fabulous with Massimo and Luana.
Always friendly and smiling.
Espresso superb
Sfogliatella real! Neapolitan.
They just open a new shop next door for pasta menu.
Trust me, the best in this area.
Amazing value.
Keep going this way!
