About
Ordiniamo un espresso al banco — that's how it goes here.
Regulars know the sugar's on the counter and the TV over the bar has whatever match is on, calcio or otherwise. Cornetti come from the case each morning, cannoli get filled when you order them, not before. Sit if there's a seat. Stand if there isn't — most people do. It's been the corner for coffee before coffee shops needed a reason to be one.

"Feels like a bar in Rome that got dropped into the North End. Small, loud during matches, exactly right."
