If you're looking for somewhere to rest your legs after lots of walking and cycling, I'd recommend Savoiardi.
We went twice during our week long stay. I've tried the cheesecakes, muffins and tea. The portion sizes of the cakes are very generous so I'd recommend sharing if you don't have a big appetite.

I had the server try again and he came back with the drink in my photo. It was about 1 part milk and 9 parts espresso. I don’t know what the staff is thinking in this place, but their drinks are not worth the...
