A wonderful breakfast in the sun, enjoying a special edition at the historic Caffè San Carlo, located in Piazza San Carlo.
The pastry shop offers a variety of products, always fresh and with decidedly unique flavors. The pastry combinations are often an explosion of new and fresh flavors, while the mini pastries typically feature classic flavors.
The coffee is excellent. The indoor dining room is private but noisy, while the outdoor seating is pleasant and sunny until the early afternoon.

A cloying bar right in the city center. The interior is gorgeous, with a typical 19th-century romantic atmosphere. I didn't particularly appreciate the service because I asked for a drop of water to accompany my coffee and was told it wasn't included (I should have asked for a whole bottle). Curiously, the drop was served regularly at the counter. The staff is quite rushed; you don't even have time to sit down before they're already there to order. Otherwise, everything was perfect. The croissants were amazing.

I went on Friday, April 3rd (Good Friday) around 12:25 pm to get a sandwich. They told me there were only three left (it's true that the menu says they're served until stocks run out, but I think there should definitely be more at that time), so I had to settle for that, and it's not the kind of service I expect from a place of that caliber. I preferred the previous decor with the large table full of desserts. The staff was friendly.

Wonderful place!
Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable staff
Excellent coffee prices at the counter and perfect macchiato.
Wide selection of both sweet and savory products, prices a bit excessive, especially considering a price increase of more than 20% in some cases since the beginning of 2025.
We tried two pastries and two brioches: excellent!

The croissants are excellent, but the organization leaves much to be desired: it's unacceptable to have to sit in the sun because the umbrellas are broken. A place like this should take care of these details as well.

The croissants and puff pastry were delicious, but the service was a shame: I asked for a glass of water (after ordering three croissants, a coffee, and a latte) and was told they didn't bring glasses of water to the table, only bottles. Too bad they'd brought two to the couple at the next table just 10 minutes earlier. They still insisted I get a 250ml bottle (one glass) for €3.
