Great spot for an ice coffee with the view of the duomo. Can't Beat. Coffee is delicious. Had to get an ice coffee like an American tourist.

The proximity to the Basilica and beautiful plaza is what makes this place worth checking out after a long day of walking... We did pay the usual tourist premium but so what.. It's a place to chat...have good coffee and chat... and the restrooms were very clean
