“ Sono cliente da tanti anni del grancaffe. Ho sempre trovato cortesia e disponibilità, da parte di tutto il personale. Ragazzi sempre super gentili educati e attenti ma un attenzione particolare ad Alessio. Il barista che fa la differenza, la classica frase "Il mio barista è differente"! Ragazzo empatico, gentile educato e sempre scherzoso ma mai sopra le righe. Insomma un piacere venire lì. Un abbraccio a tutto lo staff avanti così ragazzi!!! ”
“ Ogni volta che vado al centro commerciale il bar è ormai una tappa fissa. Tutto lo staff è sempre molto cordiale e professionale. Ma devo fare una menzione speciale ad Alessio, che è semplicemente eccezionale! La sua gentilezza rende la mia visita al bar sempre un vero piacere. Quindi ribadisco, Complimenti a tutto lo staff e in particolare ad Alessio per il servizio impeccabile!" ”
“ Excellent ice cream and very kind service, recommended... ”
“ An American and my first evening in Rome and these folks were so kind.... That just made the experience even better The food that we had were all patisserie and as a chef I can tell you that that was some of the best tastiest pastry I've had in a very long time. The cream horns were outstanding crisp perfectly baked delightful amount of sugar lovely cream, the fruit tarts fantastic little mini delights with perfectly done crust and sweet ripe fruit that was just at its peak... I sampled one of every kind but my utmost favorite is something in my world we call the oyster it looks like an oyster it's this very crispy filo dough and then stuffed inside is this just delicious cream... I will definitely be back before I leave I will make it a point to put a box together to take with me to the airport. I only wish they would make it home oh and by the way please don't ever stop making your elephant ears!!!! Some people call them butterfly cookies the phyllo dough shape like some people say a butterfly we call an elephant ears and then they're coated in that sweet glaze with a light sprinkling of sanding sugar they are absolutely perfectly baked. Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience on our first day in Rome. Warm regards, Kristin Frye from Lockport NY USA ”
