Bar Simona In Piacenza

29/07/2024: The location is pleasant with a view of Piazza dei Cavalli. But in ten days spent in Italy, we had never paid €8 for a Spritz alone (without an aperitif)…

13/07/2024: Certainly more full-bodied than standard aperitifs, but I would have also appreciated some chips and peanuts, as per convention. It didn't tickle the palate enough to deserve more than 3 stars. The spritz is excellent; you could smell the alcohol. The kids might be more encouraged during the service, but I understand that it was a Friday in Piacenza, and I also understand that working part-time in a bar is not the greatest of youthful aspirations, so energy tends to wane. I don't think I will return there a second time.
