Due to renovations the B&B I am staying at gave me a voucher to Caffe Savoia for a meal. I did not make it for breakfast but the B&B noted I could use it any time so I headed to the Caffe, where the manager refused to accept it. I assured them it was not a big deal and would pay but I sat and waited and waited and waited.....and no service. I finally went looking for the waitress and asked her for a menu. She marched back to my table ahead of me , turned the napkin holder toward me and showed me the torn Q code on the side, and declared that it was the menu.

Regarding the food, the crossaint with cioccolate was delicious, but the overall experience unfortunately very...
Read morePrime location, right by the central square but it’s obvious this is the main thing driving custom to this cafe. We sat for 15 minutes outside trying to get attention to order with the waitress several times saying she’ll be with us in just a moment. It was late morning so not very busy and instead of taking our order she proceeded to clear out half a dozen empty tables (there were twice as many clean and free). Eventually we gave up and went to the cafe over the road and within seconds of us standing up she was there to wipe down the table and clear away chairs. Focus very much on getting us out not keeping us there! Highly...
