Best cappuccino ever! Service was awesome I went there everyday definitely worth trying.
Very friendly Szaff
(Translated by Google) Reading the other reviews I expected better service and a decent location but I found the chairs at the internal tables with stains, the newspaper thrown on the table and the service too slow. A cappuccino and two croissants arrived 10 minutes later. Yet there were only two customers besides us... Luckily the croissants were good but it's certainly not a place I would recommend. (Original) Leggendo le altre recensioni mi aspettavo un servizio migliore e una location decente ma ho trovato le poltroncine dei tavolini interni con le macchie, il giornale buttato sul tavolino e il servizio troppo lento. Un cappuccino e due cornetti sono arrivati dopo 10'. Eppure c'erano solo due clienti oltre a noi... I cornetti per fortuna erano buoni ma di sicuro non è un locale che consiglierei.
(Translated by Google) I have not had the opportunity to try their offers, so I cannot comment, although at first glance I do not think there are any criticisms to be made. I have used them as a collection point for packages of items purchased online. And for this, I have absolutely nothing to complain about. They are well organized, professional and kind. (Original) Non ho avuto l'opportunità di provare le loro offerte, per cui non posso esprimermi, anche se a prima vista non penso ci siano critiche da muovere. Mi sono servito presso di loro come punto di ritiro per pacchi di articoli acquistati online. E per questo, non ho assolutamente nulla da eccepire. Sono ben organizzati, professionali e gentili.
(Translated by Google) This bar is located on Via di Castel Porziano, next to Michelino Fish. Parking is difficult, but it's there; it's not a shopping mall as it's described. It's run by young, very friendly staff, the young man and woman serving at the bar. The others are a little less welcoming, but the atmosphere is very family-friendly, with regulars. Pizzas, croissants, desserts, sandwiches, and tramezzini. Excellent delivery service, including Sisal top-ups. Postepay top-ups, cigarettes, and scratch cards. Indoor and outdoor tables inside, not too large. There are also vending machines outside, if you have access to a series of wheelchairs, which is practically impossible without standing outside. (Original) su via di Castel porziano si trova questo bar accanto a Michelino Fish, Il parcheggio è difficoltoso ma esiste, non è un centro commerciale come viene definito. gestito da personale giovane molto cortese la ragazza e il ragazzo che servono al bar. un po' meno accoglienti gli altri, ambiente molto familiare fatto di clienti abituali. pizzette cornetti dolci panini tramezzini Ottimo punto di spedizione presente anche Sisal ricariche. ricariche Postepay, sigarette e gratta e Vinci Tavoli interni ed esterni all'interno ambiente non troppo grandi distributori anche esterne nel caso aveva accesso in serie a rotelle è praticamente impossibile se non stando all'esterno
(Translated by Google) A local bar that stands out for its customer care. The owners are able to make any customer feel at home with an exceptional welcome. Despite the amount of services they offer, including parcel shipping, tobacco, newspapers and bars, they manage to manage everything in a well-organized manner. If you are in the area, I recommend it for a good coffee, breakfast or an aperitif. (Original) Un bar di zona che si contraddistingue per il customer care. I proprietari sono in grado di fare sentire a casa qualsiasi cliente con un’accoglienza eccezionale. Nonostante la mole di servizi che offrono tra cui spedizione pacchi, tabacchi, giornali e bar riescono a gestire riescono a gestire il tutto in maniera ben organizzata. Se siete in zona, consiglio per un buon caffè, una colazione o un aperitivo.
(Translated by Google) Not very big inside, but it offers a delivery service. The coffee could be improved, but it's much more modern than under the previous management. (Original) Non molto grande all'interno.ma offre il servizio spedizioni. Caffe,' migliorabile, ma molto piu moderno rispetto alla precedente gestione
(Translated by Google) The staff is very friendly (Original) Il personale è molto gentile
