I was stunned to find out they serve breakfast - a lovely breakfast! Fresh rhubarb and locally sourced granola on porridge was inspired! And the interior is beautiful too!

(Translated by Google) The negative note is a middle-aged lady who didn't speak Italian and didn't even let us use Google translate, being scornful. That's not enough, it was cold and she made us stay outside saying that there were no free tables inside, while instead Ria found 3 Then finally someone called "the girl Ria" which was awesome. Thank you Ria (Original) La nota negativa è una Signora di mezza età che non parlando l italiano non lasciava neanche utilizzare Google traduttore, scorbutica.Non basta, faceva freddo e ci ha fatto stare fuori dicendo che dentro non c erano tavoli liberi,mentre invece Ria ne ha trovati 3. Poi finalmente qualcuno ha chiamato "la ragazza Ria "che è stata stragentile . Grazie Ria

The service was the only redeeming quality. The food as appalling, with a burrata that was dry and mealy—a mozzarella ball with cottage cheese—and pastas that were bland, unsalted and flooded with cream (Contadino), or had no flavour apart from salt (orecchiette). The first meal in ages we could not even try to finish. To their credit, they did take responsibility and waived the bill, but my god, this was a brutal experience.

I cannot rate the food as we did not stayed over for a meal. But it was advertised as good coffee spot, and as Italian myself I need a proper one. They did delivered ❤️ the place is huge and really posh. Good vibes and great staff 👍🏼
