I think this place is known for its beers, but we were doing campari spritzes and stuck with it as we perused the menu. We ordered a mozzarella di bufala appetizer and each had a pasta.

Just drowning in the basil pesto and the pasta pieces were so unique and the texture so perfect. We loved our meal and the service was excellent.

Il tutto servito a suon di musica ed accompagnato dalla proverbiale simpatia di Cristiana. Collegato al bar c'è il Gazebo dove trovi tanti oggetti divertenti e dove puoi prenotarti per il concerto che ti piace. Se passi da Sestri e non visiti il Cafe de la Place ti perdi qualcosa. The best place where you can taste your breakfast, brunch and aperitif. Lot of biers; suggested the Blanche de Bruxelles. All is served with fine music and with the great shine of Cristiana.
