We came here and they have a good selection of pastries made in house that were really good! The coffee was good as well. What was really outstanding was the service! I accidentally ordered the wrong coffee for my grandfather and when I went to fix it they offered to do it for me! They really didn't have to because it was my mistake not theirs but they were really very kind about the entire situation! The prices if you order at the bar are essentially the same as at every other bar in Italy. If you order and bring your own items to the tables you don't pay a coperto. It's only if you have table service that you pay higher prices. I would absolutely come back here again! A gem near the duomo with good prices even in the middle of tourist season!

When we stopped by Il Giardinetto, it seemed very authentic and was super busy with everyone speaking Italian. The seating area is in the middle of the square and a great location. We ordered our standard vegetarian meal-bruschetta, pizza, and salad. The bruschetta was simply excellent with the perfect amount of salt, olive oil, and garlic. The pizza (tomato basil) was probably the best we had in Italy. The salad was good and fresh, very simple as we love it. This might have just been the best food we had in all of Italy. The prices were also super cheap. I think our whole meal was under 20 euro.

We chose a mini lemon fruit tart, croissant, palmier, and some kind of cream-filled choux. The croissant was our favorite with perfect buttery layers. Nothing else stood out in particular, but everything was fresh and well-made. Prices were reasonable. There's no seating in the bakery, which is to be expected in Italy, but there is outdoor seating a short walk across the street. On a nice day, it's really quite lovely sitting outside and people-watching while you enjoy your pastries.
