Bar Il Cappuccino In Piacenza

We were looking for a bar on and around Viale Dante, and finding one of the few parking spaces right next to this place, we decided to give it a try. The bar is simple, modern, and rather bare, without too many frills. There's plenty of seating, although when we arrived, there was only one table occupied, which was loud enough to fill the entire room, partly due to the TV being a bit too loud. The guy at the counter was very kind and quick with his service, which I appreciated. The beers were good, available in various sizes, as was the drink we ordered. The biscuits to choose from were also truly delicious, a pleasant and well-executed sweet touch. It's a shame about the croissant, which I had had a little more hope for: the guy took the time to cut it with a knife to better fill it, a thoughtful gesture, certainly, but the amount of cream was very small, so in the end the result didn't change much. Personal note: I don't approve of the presence of slot machines inside the place. It's a choice that, while understandable from a business perspective, I personally disagree with. The online hours say it's open until midnight, but we easily stayed a bit longer, and I didn't mind at all. Overall, I've had better random bar experiences, but it wasn't bad: an unpretentious place that's fine for a casual stop.
