Overall, little cute Italian bar to grab a quick coffee and have some aperol spritz...

No matter what time of day, just come to the...

The coffee served was awful and warm (not hot as should be). There was only one server when I went there (Saturday, 1pm) and she was not cordial, happy and have zero customer service skills. She not even bother to warn me that sitting outside did not imply receiving service: you need to ask your stuff, pay (a fortune: USD 6 for a cup of coffee) and do whatever. The place is ridiculously small and there is literally one (1) place to seat inside, a clumsy tall table. The lady did not turn on the heater outside, even after my request. Either they were doing dumb savings or she was just lazy. The places outsides were dirty and the chairs are extremely...
