Osteria Don Abbondio In Forlì

05/02/2026: I stopped by this bar on a weekday morning, drawn by the fact that it's one of the few places in the area that opens early and is convenient for a quick breakfast before starting the day. The overall experience was decent, with some positive aspects and others that I think could be improved. What I liked - Convenient location: The bar is located in a busy area, easy to get to, and has nearby parking. Perfect if you're in a hurry or live in the neighborhood. - Large, bright spaces: The interior is larger than it appears from the outside, with well-spaced tables and a simple yet functional atmosphere. - Good coffee: I had an espresso and found it well-extracted, with a consistent crema and no bitter aftertaste. - Quick service: Despite the crowds, I was served quickly, which I really appreciate when I'm in a rush. What could be improved - A somewhat distant welcome: The staff was polite but not particularly warm. No rudeness, mind you, but a little extra attention to the customer would really make a difference. - Average pastries: I had a cream brioche, which was good but not memorable. I would have liked something fresher or more varied. - Slightly anonymous atmosphere: the place is clean and tidy, but lacks a personal touch that makes it truly distinctive or recognizable compared to other bars in the area. In summary Big Bar is a practical, quick, and reliable place for breakfast or a coffee during the day. I didn't find anything particularly negative, but neither did anything that really set it apart. It's one of those places that "does its job," with no surprises, either positive or negative. If you're looking for a comfortable, no-frills café, it's fine. If you're looking for a more refined experience or a high-quality pastry shop, it might not be the right place.
