It is one stop in the broader coffee culture of Italy, the kind that reveals itself one neighborhood at a time.

What it lacks in polish it tends to make up for in character, which is what keeps regulars coming back. It is the kind of place where you can sit a while, and nobody rushes you toward the door. The pace is unhurried, the welcome is genuine, and the coffee does its job without making a fuss.
