Caffe’ Granduca

Local place for locals. Tourists welcome, but don’ expect the same service as at home. Sit, relax, and wait your turn. Good coffee, drinks, gelato and evening snacks. I stopped by almost everyday over 8 days, good service for me, got recognized and got served before others. Nice quick stop on the way sightseeing to the train station. Good pastries too.

Well, don’t go to a «drinks» place and expect great food with it (???). Which is exactly what I did. This place has a really great location for shopping and other restaurants. Great place for drinks for sure as they have 2 books for drinks… 1 for alcoholic bevs and the other for smoothies and fruity drinks. Well, I’m not much of a drinker so I ordered 2 glasses of wine, 1 red and 1 dessert wine. The server was not much help in recommending the best (regardless of price) so I picked whatever sounded interesting. Then the food, I think if the menu shows pictures of your order, then the place can’t be that good. And it wasn’t. Half of what’s on the menu was already off the menu due to the time we were there (1 hour before closing). And the service was I guess to be expected from an Italian joint (non-​existent).
What can I say? I’m an American expecting «great and excellent customer service» everywhere I go, oh yeah and plus I’m an emotional eater. So take it for what this is worth… Come here for drinks and not for service or food and you will have a super time =)
Enjoy!
