Made a pit stop to Salerno from our Amalfi Coast honeymoon before heading to Rome. Extremely cute, family run coffee shop with three generations! Coffee was delicious and service, so kind and welcoming to Americans like us! A must stop if you’re in need of a cappuccino or espresso!

I wish I'd discovered this cafe sooner! The crema di cafe is the best I've ever had and all items are very well priced and almost everything is homemade from the cakes to the coffee blend (the beans are grown by the owners). The staff was also exceptional providing such warm, friendly service. Definitely a must when in Salerno!!!

Great place to eat your daily Cornetto and drink your morning Cappuccino. The waitresses are really friendly and the cornetti are served warm with a different variety of fillings. Great atmosphere in a small quiet side street of Salerno City!

Best crema de caffe. Service is top notch. Very nice and quaint. Picturesque on a small, narrow street in the middle of older Salerno. Not just coffee but many other options. They roast their own beans plus the cakes are home made. Great atmosphere!
