OMG I am so impressed. We were looking for a place for coffee on the way back to Rome. We ended up with lunch! They can’t speak English and I can’t speak Italian. But the smile and sincere friendliness transcend the language. We order a pasta dish to share but they spit it for us from the kitchen. How kind! This is the kind of kindness that I don’t see often in Italy especially when I am non white. Thank you so much for your kindness. Of all my Italian trip this is the first time I write a review. There are plenty of unpleasant treatment I got from different hotels. I just choose to leave it behind. But kindness like this deserves to be mentioned!
