Was wandering the back streets for breakfast. The seats on the street looked inviting. Was happy with our 2 croissants, fresh OJ and caffe doppio. Very relaxing, just sitting people watching and happy with the price.

Their sandwiches are of a decent size. I ordered Lasagna which was very good, but could have ordered the turkey sandwich and it would have been more filling.
