01/09/2025: Foreword: I'm writing as a customer, but having worked as a street vendor and bartender, I always try to put myself in the shoes of the person behind the counter before writing a review. About two weeks ago, we went into the bar to get four coffees, two of which were cold macchiatos. They served them at the counter, then we moved them to one of the tables inside and sat down. Since time immemorial, cold macchiatos have been served with a small jug of milk on the side. Not here; they pour the cold milk into your coffee cup, which wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the fact that my wife stood up and asked, "Could I have some more milk?" "We already gave you the milk." "I know, but I'd like some more." "But the milk's already in the coffee." "I understand, but I'd like some more. I'll pay for it, no problem for me." A gentleman behind the counter intervenes, and—I can't tell whether he hadn't heard the previous exchange or simply wanted to agree with his colleague—parrotally repeats "We already gave you the milk." Frankly, I don't understand what could drive people not only to be so stubborn over something stupid, but also to display such arrogance. Are you not good at the job? Don't have the patience or desire to do it because you're tired? Get a grip or change your job, because sooner or later the saying "tit for tat" will come into play. Another thing: is it possible that in 2025 there are still bars with only one bathroom that requires climbing steps to reach? And with a squat toilet at that? In 2025???

24/08/2025: We stopped to see the Toce Falls before continuing with a trip to a mountain refuge. We decided to have lunch at this bar, but unfortunately it wasn't a good decision given the owner's treatment, who was simply annoyed at having customers. We sat outside and, since they don't offer table service, chose from the menu written on the blackboard outside. There were eight of us, and I took the trouble to come in with the list already written down to make it easier. The lady, very rude, kept telling me that I was making it difficult for her to take our order. Then she told me I had to wait at the counter to pick up the plates, which she handed me, with cutlery and no napkins. The children's cutlets included fries, which obviously weren't there, served on a small plate. Since we had asked for sauces, we waited another 5 minutes with our plates in hand, and she only gave us ketchup and not the mayonnaise we'd requested. Other dishes we wanted to order weren't available either (even though they were written on the blackboard). One was roast beef with mushrooms, and the lady even replied, "I'll put porchetta on it so you won't notice." We accepted the porchetta with mushrooms, but in reality it was still a sandwich with porchetta and mushroom cream, not fresh mushrooms as the blackboard implied. Then we ordered something else, and the lady annoyedly repeated that I was really making her uncomfortable because I had ordered rösti, which she had previously refused to other customers, as if it were my fault! The only positive note was that there was a very kind older man at the register. In any case, we will absolutely never go back. Terrible!
