We had a lovely afternoon in this place. Situated in one of the main squares in Varese (piazza Montegrappa ) . Cocktails are very good and the aperitivo is great with many choices. There is a promotion, you can get a t shirt after 8 spritz, we were a group of 6 people so was easy to get it ;) . The guys working there are very cool , specially Marina , always smiling and very kind .

I have read several negative reviews and I was kind of surprised because our experience was very good. Then I saw that most of those negative reviews are related to cocktails. I sat there with my family for lunch and I have to say that the both the food and the service were very good. The staff were polite and friendly, they also spoke english. I found the prices to be reasonable. Recommended!
