I found this place on Google Maps and Yelp and decided to walk 3 miles from my Vila to try it out. It was well worth the walk. My latte and sandwich were superb and the customer service was great and atmosphere was ideal. It was also fun to watch the locals come and go. I highly recommend!

I didn't know what to expect from an apparently modest roadside bistro near Cortona. The eggplant Parmigiano was excellent. Pork roast was also good- a standard item. Greens with a touch of piquant a perfect match. Good creme brulee. Gentle service.

Popped in for morning coffee and pastries. Waitress was welcoming, helpful and friendly. Coffees and cakes were delicious. We sat in a covered area outside sheltered from the warm Summer morning. Place was spotlessly clean.

This is a great road-stop cafe on the way to Cortona. We often stop at places like this to get a quick panino to satisfy our hunger, but this place had great food. Also, it has Affligem beer on tap! The staff is friendly and fun. It looks like the cafe also functions as a combination of a burger-bar and nightclub in the evenings—but that’ll be way after my bedtime. Exceeded my expectations and gives us a great place for a good lunch when we are in the Lago Trasimeno area.
