Sciûsciâ e Sciorbî — Restaurant in Genoa

Just finished dinner elsewhere and was looking for a dessert, coffee and a glass of wine. Stopped here as it is close to my hotel. Woman at the counter did not seat me but offered me the dessert and coffee to go. She Stated this is a pizza restaurant not a bar. Ouch! I understand the concept of her restaurant but her delivery was very discouraging. As an American visiting for the 1st time I felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. However I sucked it up and took my items to go minus the wine. I can tell this is not a normal thing as I was given the coffee in the equivalent of a plastic shot glass and a strip of foil paper covering it. She knocked me up for $7.
