"Very nice staff with comunicativ english."
"Great coffee and cozy interior"
"New pictures of lunch (pranzo) Friendly service, very accommodating!"
4 Update: a year later, still good! Friendly staff! New pictures of lunch (pranzo) Friendly service, very accommodating! Fresh juice, good coffee & nice cake. Right next to the road, but with a nicely decorated outdoor patio and indoor seating. I will come back for sure.
4 Stamattina ci siamo fermati a fare colazione...non era la prima volta...ma sara' che oggi c'era poca gente ce lo siamo gustati un pochino di piu'...la gentilissima ragazza in un batter d'occhio ci ha serviti cappuccino e latte macchiato con cornetti...buonissimi come sempre...nonostante il locale fiancheggia la nazionale sempre super trafficata...e' sempre un piacere potersi fermare un attimo,l'unica pecca il parcheggio...ma ci puo' stare camminare un pochino...
5 Devo dire che nonostante abiti non lontanissimo dalla nazionale di Tortoreto dove si trova questo bar, io non c'ero mai entrata. È stata una piacevole scoperta. Aperitivo abbondante, servizio cortese e il sorriso del barista al bancone che aggiunge quel quid in più alla pausa concessa. Ambiente non grandissimo ma ben distribuito con ampio spazio anche esterno.
5 Perfect place for aperitivo. Very nice staff with comunicativ english. I personnaly recomend aperol spritz and funy fact italians don't let you drink without eating! Just enjoy it.
5 We had a very nice and delicious breakfast with paninis, coffee, tea and fresh orange juice. We’ll come back
5 Ambiente molto bello ideale per un aperitivo, ma anche per una colazione. Aperitivo ottimo, con cibo abbondante. Servizio impeccabile, molto gentile e sorridente. Ci tornerò sicuramente.
5 Bar famosissimo a Tortoreto, Abruzzo, lungo la via Nazionale Adriatica. Molto frequentato e noto sia per le colazioni che per i suoi aperitivi. Buone proposte anche a pranzo con ottimi primi della tradizioneabruzzese. L'aperitivo però è davvero top. A poco meno di €10 puoi avere un drink, tramezzini, paninetti e tranci di pizza rossa caldi. Patatine chips, olive e un assaggio di farro con mozzarella, pomodorini e rucola o una pasta fredda. Servizio e gentilezza impeccabili. Location molto carina ed accogliente sia dentro che fuori. Da provare anche loro crema al caffè. Tappa obbligatoria se andate in vacanza a Tortoreto o siete di passaggio. Consigliatissimo.
5 Quite and nice evening having italian aperitivo with friends.
Guests often enjoy the fresh coffee, delicious cakes, and the generous aperitivo selections, especially the Aperol Spritz.
