Un Caffè Bistrot - Spritz e Focacce — Restaurant in Florence

Looked such a cool place. It was a warm afternoon. I went to the door & a woman quickly blocked me way. 'You can sit here', she said, pointing to a stool. This was the first thing that was weird. They had tables inside and outside. I got put on a stool. I asked if there was a menu.
