In a distinctive décor made up of frescoes and drawings attached to the walls, there is a rather casual clientele. The kitchen is original and good (cheese in cheese, turkey with prunes, veal steak, and other Italian specialities). The service is excellent. This is one of the most important of the city.

There is a great choice for breakfast or sandwiches for dinner: .., sweet and light pastries. The only fault is that they fill the sandwiches only in the part they open, and that the bread is hopelessly empty on the sides…

Bread, pastries, and delicious cakes that have genuine authentic taste. You can also stop here for a small coffee. Breakfast is delicious and the perfect lunch if you are in the corner of the Sheraton or Trg Square.
