Her eagerness to return speaks volumes about the connections formed in this space.

For those seeking a morning pick-me-up, make sure to indulge in one of Francesco's renowned cappuccinos, described by frequent patrons, like Massimo Coppola, as not just a beverage, but an "opera d'arte."

Ho preso solo un caffè.. L'ambiente è accogliente come il proprietario.. Poi ho scoperto che ha tenuto aperto anche durante le restrizioni covid, quindi per me da premiare. Tornerò anche per altro.. e fare quattro chiacchiere.

Bellissimo il locale e molto professionale il titolare. Fate colazione con un cappuccino e gusterete un'opera d'arte, non solo per la bontà del cappuccino ma anche per le raffigurazioni che il titolare sa fare. Vere e proprie opere d'arte.

In Calabria, è certamente uno dei locali in cui si può gustare un ottimo caffè. Oltre ad un ottimo espresso, in molti si recano lì, per gustare i suoi prelibati cappuccini decorati. La passione e la professionalità sono il punto di forza del suo titolare Francesco.
