"Angenehmes Nachbarschafts-Café/Bar, in dem man sehr freundlich behandelt wird, auch wenn man nicht viel Italienisch spricht. Auf der Terrasse kann man schön sitzen, da sie etwas versetzt zur Hauptstraße ist. Die fairen Preise sind eine Wohltat im Vergleich zur Abzocke im Stadtzentrum."

"Il locale è ampio anche se lo spazio per il pubblico potrebbe essere più ampio. Ma questo problema non impedisce al locale di essere sempre strapieno. Il motivo è da ricercarsi nell'abbondanza e qualità dei prodotti forniti. Per quanto riguarda solo i dolci solo i cornetti ripieni sono 10 tipi diversi. È consigliato vivamente per chi voglia gustarsi un cornetto e un caffè in santa pace come anche in compagnia romantica di un partner."
