19/07/2024: Unique atmosphere!!! It reminds me a lot of Central Perk from the Friends television series. A place that stands out from all the others. Very welcoming and cared for. A point of reference for the neighborhood, it keeps us company from early morning until late at night. Breakfasts, coffee breaks, lunches, dinners and aperitifs in the company of very friendly staff. The place is very large and also has an outdoor terrace. A must for those who live in the area but also for those coming from "outside", especially for the cappuccino which has no equal on the face of the earth!!! Two years after my review, I would like to add a note on the human experience that I live every day while I enjoy my cappuccino. The people who work there are wonderful!!! I recommend anyone to spend a few more minutes inside the venue. You leave better people!!!
13/06/2024: The thing that struck me most positively when I entered for the first time - the first of many! - at Gommalacca (in addition to the name which is a clear reference to Battiato) it is the space: the environment is really large and immediately communicates that this is a place of relaxation. Upon entering you are greeted by a pleasant ensemble of plants (which also adorn the bright outdoor area in front of the entrance), and after passing the retro-looking counter, a large room opens up - soberly furnished with pieces of vintage furniture that give the right environmental mood - where the numerous tables are never too close to each other (there is also a comfortable sofa for those who want extra comfort); furthermore, during the day the skylights give the room soft and relaxing lighting. This is a place to go for extended breaks, to work in peace on your laptop or to chat with friends without having to raise your voice; even the slightly secluded location from the center (however reachable on foot in a few minutes) gives Gommalacca an additional aura of a 'secret place' for your comfort. Here a cocktail is always accompanied by abundant appetizers (pizzas, pretzels, chips), just as the lunch dishes are generous, which always have vegetarian and vegan alternatives (the same goes for the tasty pastries), always served with courtesy, a joke friendly from the guys in the club and a pop background that is never at invasive volumes (obviously if you love the Battiato Factory you have nothing to fear here, but there is something for everyone's tastes!). I really recommend Gommalacca to anyone who wants a place to feel comfortable at home, for me it is a place to take refuge at any time of the day (lunch, aperitif, free afternoon) with the certainty of always being at ease.
