After visiting the Taco restaurant earlier on in the day, I was here at the Fiat Caffe with my wife in between a wedding ceremony and the evening reception.
This cafe is also a showroom for the Fiat 500 car and several of these automobiles make up the decor. It is not very big and fairly busy but we managed to get a eat without problems. We got a special car seat, which we had to surrender unfortunately during our visit, but more on that later.
We were given a menu and ordered. As this was just an afternoon snack visit we both ordered something light, with a drink to accompany.
Food came first and there was a little break in time before the drinks arrived.
The panini was very good. It was served on a wooden board for some rustic charm. The bread was lightly toasted, the ricotta cheese and egg filling was good and the anchovies gave it a salty twist that worked well. It was also served with a tasty chilled potato salad and tomatoes.
The tea arrived (finally) with a mug of hot water and and very stylish pyramidal fine-wire mesh tea bag. Milk was served in a little pot.
My wife ordered blue mussels, which are not pictured. They were very tasty in their wine and onion sauce although the portion was quite small.
Food wise this cafe serves tasty fare but it is expensive. This is exemplified by the fact that they sell the world's most expensive coffee, a whopping £60,000.00! But you do get a Fiat 500 Ferrari edition car with it. So overall not great value for money.
Also as noted above we were asked to move seats as they forgot that someone had already reserved them. Coupled with the fact that it took longer for our drinks to arrive than the food suggests service could be improved significantly before we think about returning again.
