Pasticceria Campani In Sassuolo

The best cappuccino in the area, I've never had anything so frothy. The owners are friendly and welcoming.

I was in Castel d'Aiano many years ago as a teacher. I lived in a flat near the village pharmacist. I remember Roberta, the daughter of the bar owners. Wonderful years, good people. The village priest was Father Luigi. We suffered from the cold because, being Calabrians, we weren't used to that climate. I took the bus early in the morning because some days I also taught in Vergato. I then moved to Rome. I wonder if anyone remembers me (I lived with my sister). I would be very happy if someone could remember us.

The bar is nice, with two outdoor areas, but it almost feels like a nuisance when you go in the afternoon. The bartender doesn't smile and barely says hello. The prices are incredibly high for Castel d'Aiano. €1.50 for a croissant, a pre-baked one at that, seems excessive.

It feels like being at home, kind and friendly both at 11.00 in the morning and in the afternoon, it reflects the relaxed atmosphere of the town, the furnishings are dated but very clean.

Central bar with outdoor seating. There was no table service, but the staff was attentive and friendly.
