Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff but cold. Good was delicious, especially the seafood risotto. Pizzas were good too, sandwiches were mediocre and a bit dry, made with a simple bun.

I was pleasantly surprised with this little café! It was a great price for a meal and dessert, I got the gnocchi and a coppetto amarena, both of which were delicious. I felt like this was a good balance of delicious food and good price for how close to some tourist attractions it is!
