The space is narrow and feels a bit more claustrophobic than it likely is in reality because the back wall is stacked from floor to ceiling with merchandise, and the space opposite it is the counter. There's a narrow strip that's just wide enough for a human to pass through before bumping up against the teeny tiny tables that are shoved up against the wall o' merch. Despite all that, we liked the vibe of the place. It's loud and crowded and chaotic, yes (and this was even during "shoulder season", I can't imagine what the place looks like in the high season!) But the staff was incredibly friendly, the patrons - lots of locals, from the way they interacted with staff and slammed their espresso - were accommodating and the drinks were hot and expertly made. The first round of drinks - on our first trip - didn't take too long to get crafted and served. But on our second stop, my husband made the mistake of ordering a pour-over coffee, which the nice man at the counter said they could do, but it'd be a bit longer. Boy howdy, was he not wrong. It took almost 10 minutes for his drink to come out, and the guy kept giving us updates to let us know we hadn't been forgotten. We were fine with waiting - it was a no-activity day for us - but I did feel like I was getting in other people's way just standing like a lump near the door. The coffees are good and strong, and decently priced, though, and they have an expansive menu that goes beyond coffees, to teas and pastries and beyond. We never got the chance to try anything more than their bean juice, but had we been in the city longer, we might have gone back for more.

The owner and staff were all very friendly and welcoming and remembered us when we came back. They also grind their coffee for you to take home and I was able to get some espresso and french press blends for gifts. They have coffee tins as well which make great gifts. The croissants were the best we had in Italy too! Definitely recommend.

4 and a half stars!…read more We came in for lunch as restaurant opened at 12.30. Place was full within 30 minutes. Small restaurant with excellent service. Tried the broad bean puree and Roman style artichoke side dish as starters. Both were delicious. For mains we had the lasagne Bolognese and tagliatelle Gessetto. Both were excellent. Hubby and I switched mid meal so we each had half of each pasta dish, neither of us could pick a favorite. The lasagne is cut into squares and baked so you have the best crunchy bits all round...what a great idea! I would be here weekly if I lived in the area! Come early or make a reservation to avoid waiting in line

I felt a little bit like home, so it was a very nice atmosphere :-) Food wise, we shared polenta with my friend. It was pretty good, with bacon on top, but way too much food! I was full after that. Then I had some escalope with white wine (that I didn't taste) with some potatoes and salad. It was good but not unforgettable. The waiter was lovely and it wasn't a touristy place so I definitely recommend if you want to have good food in a calm place.
