"Just a stone's throw away from Pompeii, but it still has great quality and amazing value!
2 coffees and 2 pastries for 5-6 EUR, if this was London it would be £15 at least. At the same time, the food was amazing and 2 ice creams were EUR 7!"
Simeon Ivanov

They stock all manner of goodies, I bought a biscuit selection box as a present...very pleased."
