Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Awesome! The pastry selection is fabulous. We visited nearly every day for coffee and cake. Great coffee too. They do very generous and tasty cicchetti (Italian version of Tapas) free with alcoholic drinks. They are closed on Mondays. It was our last day. We were...gutted!More

This is our favourite place in Montecatini for aperitivo hour and we were so happy that it hasn't changed too much over the years. This was our first visit post COVID and we were relieved that it was still open. The drinks are perfectly mixed...and a lovely selection of snacks is provided. The staff are all friendly and acknowledge you after your first visit. We have been going for over 20 years and hope to continue for 20 more. It's family run and you always see the 2 brothers there. Extremely clean too. We love it and can't wait to return.More

Come every year and visit every day. Just outstanding. The buzz of constant people passing through gives it a real traditional ambience. Coffee and pastries are amazing and prices are extremely reasonable. Service very friendly as well.

Wow this was a brilliant find. Lovely Sandwiches, cakes, sweets, drinks, coffees and amazingly helpful staff. we called in and had what should have been a light lunch but everything looked so good we ended up with much more than we should have but we...did not regret it. Staff were very helpful, a few tables inside and more outside. A nice chilled place to relax.More

Lovely decor, and uniforms for the staff. Very traditional and takes me back in time....Excellent value for money and I will miss this place once I go back to bikini bottom!

This place was across the street from our hotel. The coffee was delicious, and I have missed it since returning to the States. The pastries were so so good and just sitting there, even though i could not speak Italian, just listening, was so relaxing...and enjoyable. I purchased several things to bring home and all are enjoying the treats! The staff were very helpful, explaining what things were. Once found, I visited every day.More

Been coming here for years now and the two years missed because of the pandemic were especially painful. It still has the same magic and the quality of the coffee and pastries is outstanding.
