Posto stupendo, le persone dentro sono fantastiche. Mi ricordo che la prima volta che ci sono andata ero con amici e non ho preso niente, e quando ha portato fuori le cose per gli altri a me ha portato fuori un bicchiere d'acqua, una cavolata ma io ho apprezzato tantissimo. La tenerina della moglie è buonissima, come tutto il resto d'altronde. Sono sempre felice di andarci anche quando ho una giornata storta.

Nous avons pris un petit déjeuner après notre nuit à l'hôtel Lowcostferrara. Nous avons profités d'une super offre de 2,80€ pour une pâtisserie, un jus de fruit et un café ou capuccino. Le personnel est adorable et nous a accueilli avec un grand sourire et beaucoup de générosité. Je conseille fortement !!!

Ordinato tre porzioni di cappellacci a portar via. Cibo ottimo, a buon prezzo ( piu che onesto per la porzione sostanziosa) , acqua, grissini, pane e formaggio da mettere sulla pasta. Accolti con gentilezza e simpatia, ottimo servizio.

Do solo 5 stelle perché il sistema non me ne fa mettere altre, 10 stelle ma che dico una galassia di bar; comodo, tattico sulla via maestra della città, offre aperitivi, pranzi e cene di qualità superiore ad un semplice bar. Ma il tocco di classe, il punto per la lode, lo da il personale; vivace e molto simpatico. Ps ci ha pure aiutato a studiare Fisiologia
