02/08/2025: The bar is located in the town square, a plus because it attracts the comings and goings of people, each caught up in their own stresses, their own more or less hectic schedules, their own toils and joys in life. I often start my days here, and find excellent coffee here, which chases away the ghosts of the night and strengthens me to face the "predators of the day."
The gelato, then, works better than many useless psychologists (to whom people naively trust, I think). An gelato of this high quality, artisanally made using impeccable traditional methods, can console, pamper, and numb a little from ongoing sorrows.
If we look at the tastiness, I'd be two sizes too big, but I think the saying, slightly adapted, holds true: "a scoop of good gelato a day... keeps the blues away."
Andrea, a true biker and a true creative, ventures into new flavors, even unusual ones, but always delicious, as well as colorful, like the Dubai or "Lago di Santa Croce" flavors. I've always loved Malaga, with cream... "a real medicine."
Andrea invents, his sister Monica welcomes you with a refined and elegant manner (which isn't often the case), Gloria works professionally and precisely.
The display case of ice cream cakes, constantly updated, is a showcase of other temptations (but..."sin, at least every now and then, don't sin").
A true barista knows how to listen but also how to feign deafness, how to offer a word if asked but also how to remain silent when necessary, a true barista knows how to heal (I repeat: better than many psychotherapists, and for lower fees) the loneliness of customers.
There's no shortage of friendly "snack buddies," regulars where daily socialization provides critical food for thought, often more interesting than the conformity and indoctrination of mass media, digital media, and the like. I'm a teacher who loves to reflect and write: in my experience, educational moments are more likely to occur at the bar than in formal bureaucratic meetings.
In short... a short but important break and refreshment.
