Pasticceria Castoldi In Novara

25/02/2026: The La Pecora Nera bar in Arona is a truly delightful spot for an aperitivo, offering space suitable for both a couple and larger groups of 6 or 7. A definite plus is the outdoor terrace: it's well-sheltered, allowing you to enjoy the outdoors even if the weather isn't great or if it's a bit windy. The menu is varied, ranging from a good selection of cocktails to hot drinks, covering just about every need. However, there are a couple of aspects that could be improved. Prices are a bit above average, especially when compared to what's actually served during the aperitivo. Additionally, a detail that can be quite inconvenient is the inability to keep separate bills. For larger groups, this policy becomes a small inconvenience, as it forces friends to split the cash or make instant bank transfers, creating an inconvenience that could easily be avoided. Overall it's a nice place, but you have to go there knowing how the payment process works.

16/02/2026: A really nice and welcoming pub with live music (I went on a Sunday). Prices are absolutely reasonable, and the aperitifs are excellent. I recommend it, especially to young people.
