Pizzeria Statale 45, Italia In Piacenza

17/03/2026: Excellent coffee and ice cream, kindness and precision of the owner always smiling.

29/01/2026: The Ice Park Artisan Coffee Shop & Gelateria is now well-established in the Farnesiana neighborhood, and you can immediately sense it from the owner's relationship with her customers: kind, friendly, and authentic, with that air of a trusted establishment that grows over time. The croissants come from the Manzotti bakery, just a few meters away. While there aren't many competitors in the area, they're still a good breakfast option. Personally, I prefer them flakier, while these are more brioche-like, but they're still pleasant and easy to eat. A special mention goes to the white chocolate lobster tails, a true gem rarely found elsewhere and which I found truly delicious. The espresso cups are also beautiful, designed by Gambrinus, a historic Neapolitan establishment: a detail that immediately brought back fond memories of Naples. The cappuccino is very good, with a well-made foam and just the right amount. A simple yet elegant place that serves well as a daily hub for the neighborhood, ideal for a leisurely breakfast or a sweet treat, with the feeling of being in a place that truly resonates with its patrons.
