Not surprised this is so popular, location is great, specially to enjoy on a sunny day! Drinks are cheap and food is the cheapest we found in this kind of bars, and the cured meats and cheese they use on their sandwiches are delicious!
A small bar for snack, titbits , beverages like wine and beers. We tried their Polpette di Carne and Baccalà spread bread (Baccalà Mantecato(鳕鱼泥)) . The Baccalà Mantecato is very fresh and taste good. Highly recommended
Amazing atmosphere! Maybe it’s touristic place, I felt there was a lot of Italian. These little sandwiches (sorry don’t remember the name) were fantastic. Aperol was good! Enjoy little stop between walking around.
