The owners are wonderful, friendly people that always have a smile, and are always happy to let you taste some of their cheese or salami. While the selection is not huge, you wouldn't expect it from such a small place, but the main point is that shopping here reminds us of the way things used to be before we all went to gigantic impersonal supermarkets.

So many places in this town make you feel like you are living in the good old days. This store…read moresells mainly milk and bread products. Cheese, yogurt, milk, bread, cereal, pasta, and white pizza in the morning. White pizza, not what the American thinks, not pizza with ricotta and mozzarella, just plain foccacia, salt and olive oil. A staple in breakfast out here. Everyone in here is super friendly and always willing to help you out! And they accept cards!

Great food We stumbled across this cafe after visiting the…read moreDuomo. It was a wonderful place for lunch! The food was outstanding. There were some great options in the display cabinet for lunch at a very reasonable price - you can choose three items from the display for a set price of €10.80 (or €12.80 for meat/fish). We liked it so much that we ate lunch there nearly every day of our stay and bought takeaway for dinner one night. The staff are very friendly and helpful (big thumbs up to Steven). We're so glad we found this gem!

I was impressed with Montanucci! This small town has a modern, spacious, delightful bar/café…read more The interior has many nooks and lots of wood paneling. You can get a light lunch, snack, beverages, cocktails and dessert. The frittata I ordered was tasty with crumbly pie type dough at the base and a lattice pattern on top. The hot tea was extremely necessary since it was gale force winds today. The dessert of a slice of chocolate cake was rich and not sweet (which is good)! Overall, if only I knew the way to order there would have been lot less confusion. To do so (order): Go to the bar, ask for what you want, take the number given to the cashier to pay, then take the paid receipt to the bar and a server will bring your stuff to a table. It was a bit confusing since I wanted to sit at a table and not drink my tea at the bar. The café seemed to host a social/group celebration (birthday for a matriarch?) in a private room at a lower level. Tourists were huddled over cups of tea or coffee. A couple of young people were studying with laptops. Montanucci's is a place for everyone it seems!
