Alessandro gestisce in modo esemplare questa chicca di posto: si respira un'aria ormai rara, nutriti da ottimi vini, stuzzichini e pasticceria di qualità. Consigliato sotto ogni aspetto!

Piccolo bar bistrot collocato non distante da porta Santo Stefano e dalle 7 chiese. Ideale per un caffè o colazione veloce, sfogliando il giornale. Prezzi onesti e gestore gentilissimo.
