Bar degustazione - il Giancarlino dal 1986 In Baveno

Great breakfast place with lovely people

Given that the first time I entered this bar in 1994 as a child I vividly remember Mr. Giancarlino very kind and polite always, his love for the Viola Fiorentino and a varied selection of coffee beans in the corner to be ground at the moment that perfumed the entire street, today the management has passed down the family from generation to generation maintaining the courtesy in the service, the coffee is still very good, they have a selection of special croissants and truly all to try, entering this bar you collaborate to preserve and support a historic family that has always maintained a service to the tourist and local customer since 1986.

Okay, nothing special. The service is extremely slow!

Friendly service, attention to food intolerances, clean and well-kept environment, 4-legged friends welcome.

I have been to this beautiful bar several times. Qualified staff, excellent food, good cocktails. Quick service and above all the girl Lisa very kind and friendly, she always made me feel at ease. I will definitely return other times.

A cozy little bistro in the heart of Baveno. They serve delicious snacks (toast, sandwiches) and make you feel very welcome. It's also perfect for an aperitif. The staff is very friendly!

Serving this was too slow for breakfast but everything was homemade and delicious.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an incredible spot! We had an amazing aperitivo here – delicious drinks, top-notch snacks, and a super chill atmosphere. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the vibe was just perfect. Definitely one of the best places we've been to – highly recommended!

Solid coffee and croissants at fair prices. There's certainly some background noise from the nearby street. Unfortunately, I can only agree with the previous reviews: the service is mostly chaotic and visibly overwhelmed, with some unjustified waits and chaotic and unpleasant situations, even when paying. It's a shame, because the croissants, coffee, and Aperol are actually quite good.

The croissants and coffee were very good, fresh and delicious. However, the service was extremely disappointing. Staff were slow, unfriendly, and sometimes even rude when responding to simple requests. It’s a shame, because the quality of the food and drinks deserved much better service.
