My apologies for giving these five-star reviews, but I have to call them as they are. This is an…read moreexcellent place, especially if one considers it's look vis a vis the area that it is in. It reminds me of an old Russian tea House past its prime but still elegant in it's once renowned Glory. I mean, this place is quite fancy in an understated way as many italian things seem to be. It is a tea shop, although they sell the full range of Italian pastries coffees chocolate and tea; everything that I have had here, literally, has been delicious. Those of you who read my reviews know that if I don't like something, y'all will know it and I'll try to say why but I can't really find anything about this place that I do not like. The staff, of course do not speak English but don't expect them to as you are in italy. They are friendly though and will help you in any way that they can with what you need from their place; no making you feel foolish here. Would I come here again? We've been here like three times already in the past 7 days so, yes.

I decided to visit this shop due to it's historical significance. This is a large cafe with several…read moreseparate rooms, some more casual, others more formal. During our stop, the staff seemed comprised of older men. While the staff out front seemed friendly, smiling as we passed in and out, our waiter was not at all helpful. We do speak a good amount of Italian, which turned out to be lucky as this gentleman gave no indication that he spoke English. However, he also did not try to speak much Italian. Just basically stopping by the table and waited for our order. Perhaps he assumed we would not understand him? He did however ask in Italian if I wanted my mandarin liquor warm or cold. After a long wait, he placed our drinks on the table without a word and walked away. We didn't see him again. This is the first Bicerin we tried and we were not at all wowed by it. We left with a sense of 'ok, we tried it but meh, we won't do that again'. (I did however try it again and had a much better experience elsewhere.) The value of our visit, based on quality of service and goods, would not warrant another visit to this location.

No good city trip without a great local coffee shop right? Well that's exactly what you will find…read morehere at Orso. It presents itself as a coffee "lab", although a simple delicious cappucino was enough to please wifey and myself! Those italian just know what they're doing when it comes to coffee. Want to push the experience further? Check out the huge map on the wall and follow the colour ropes...Sumatra, Ethiopia, South America...and give yourself a coffee treat. Before you leave, make sure you check the number at the bottom of your mug...and check the poster next to the door: each number = a nice message (in Italian). Didn't quite get mine, but loved it anyway! ;)

The cafe is historical in one of the city main piazzas and had indoor and outdoor seating that is well shaded. Service was very friendly and professional. It was a great experience and felt like stepping back in time. The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is that I think they could work a little on the upkeep and overall feel of the cafe that while it does feel historical, it also feels a little "tired".

Also had a nice cappucino and some mate as well. The owner's English is quite good and he's very friendly. Just keep in mind this is not a "hangout" spot during mealtimes. There's not enough seats for that. Buy some food - you'll love it.

I took a quick espresso at the bar and got a croissant to go. This location is open every day from 5:30 am - 8:00 pm. This Moka has the standard pastry case and offerings, but it's also a full service bar (both for coffee and drinks). The setting is small yet quite modern and elegant, making it a great place to hang out for an aperitif later in the day. They also have real meals (gourmet sandwiches and more), but it's the perfect place to get a simple bakery good on the go. My espresso was excellent, as is the case with most coffees in Italy. My croissant was strange, sort of a cracked wheat dough but covered in sugar. I guess it was a good healthy / not-so-healthy combo.
