Very nice little cafe on the main square in Brescia, IT. Wonderful view of the entire plaza, the cathedrals and town tower there. Great place to people watch. This is the small-town version of the "cafe society" that is part of so much of Europe. Great place for coffee on a bright sunny morning. The coffee and the service were good. We only had coffee so I cannot speak to the food menu, everything coming out of the kitchen looked good! Recommend this place.

Had some cocktails and pasta pizza and a party pollo. All 4 of us enjoyed it very much. And well looked after by the staff. Definitely go back again.

I have found about this place in an article I have read before our visit in Brescia. I was not disappointed with our choice. The food was delicious, the staff were polite and helpful. A must try is the Lasagna and also the Misto Spritz, combination between aperol and campri! Needless to say that if you find a suitable table, you may take gorgeous photos with the duomo behind you.

Aperitivo was such a fantastic experience! Since I’m breastfeeding, I’m avoiding alcohol, but I was so pleased to find that there were great drink options for me too!

This restaurant is amazing! The aperitifs are so good and are a great mood booster for only 1 euro when you order a drink. The server, Francesco, was so nice to us! The terrace is beautiful and offers a view of the DUOMO of Brescia right in front of you. The staff was very friendly and the drinks were delicious.
