We went with my girlfriend after a long walk in downtown to relax and have a good coffee. We also tried some of their cakes, all were very delicious. The cappuccino was also really good. Prices are a bit high, but I guess it's okay to know the excellent location.

Nice place, with fine cakes and good coffee. Pleasent staff.

The ruddest waiter I have ever seen. Ignored us in a empty cafe, did not answer questions, and when leaving my daughter dropped a glass on the floor. I apologised and he cussed her in italian. I speak Italian so this are not the words to say at a 4-year old. He than tried to play dumb, when I asker him if he would like to repeat those words. Never have something like that happen to me, and by an older waiter, who I would have tought, has some manners and common sense.
