NU Caffé Aperitivo — Restaurant in Saint Julian's

Our visit to NU Caffé Aperitivo was, unfortunately, a huge disappointment in terms of service. We arrived at around 7:00 p.m. to find a nearly empty restaurant, which made us expect prompt and efficient service. However, the reality was quite the opposite.

From the very beginning, service was practically nonexistent. It took 15 minutes for someone to bring us the menu, and after placing our order, we had to wait another 25 minutes just to receive our drinks. This delay was even more baffling given the lack of other customers.

When we finally ordered our food, the waiter surprised us by discouraging certain dishes, saying they were “generally not well-liked.” Rather than coming across as honest, this remark felt unprofessional and reflected a lack of confidence in the restaurant’s offerings. Thankfully, once the food arrived, it was well-prepared and of good quality—the only redeeming aspect of our experience.

The worst part of the service, however, came when we ordered a second round of drinks. After waiting 30 minutes with no sign of them, we decided to pay and leave. Strangely enough, at that exact moment, the waiter suddenly reappeared, apologizing and even offering free desserts as compensation. While it’s appreciated that they acknowledged their mistakes, their condescending attitude and overall lack of professionalism made the experience frustrating.

Conclusion

NU Caffé Aperitivo might have decent food, but the terrible service completely ruins the experience. From the extreme delays to the lack of customer care, it’s clear that there are serious issues with staff management. This is not a place we would return to or recommend unless they drastically improve...

The cappuccino was delicious Fresh orange was fresh and tasty It's sad that there is no choice of desserts.One day I visited this cafe again and was unpleasantly surprised by the service of the staff. I ordered pineapple juice.They gave me fresh juice when I went to the checkout to pay I had to wait about 10 minutes to pay for my order You don't expect that they will bring you checks on your desk; you will have to go to the cashier and wait in line to be calculated.The establishment itself is not bad, but the service is not up to par.I also noticed a minus in this cafe: if you want to sit on the terrace, which is located on the street, you will have to drink your drinks with the dust...

I stopped by NU Caffé Aperitivo in St. Julian’s and it was very good! The cappuccino was perfectly crafted, rich, and creamy—exactly how it should be. The croissant was fresh, buttery, and flakey, making for the perfect pairing. The ambiance of the café is cozy and inviting, with a chic and modern vibe.

I’ve attached some photos and videos to show how wonderful the place is—it’s clear they pay attention to every detail, from the food to the décor. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great coffee spot in St. Julian’s. I’ll...
