Si chiama in realtà libreria todomodo nella quale è possibile degustare bevande,vini, caffè e ottime cose da mangiare. Ottima accoglienza e molte iniziative culturali sempre diverse. Un punto di incontro x socializzare e fare ottimi aperitivi , ha un bel giardino esterno in cui si possono passare piacevoli pomeriggi e serate.

Luogo molto tranquillo e accogliente. Ci vado spesso a studiare e d'estate è possibile anche usufruire dello spazio al di fuori all'aperto oltre a quello all'interno. Molti libri da poter utilizzare. È possibile utilizzare il WiFi. Molto interessanti anche gli eventi che ogni tanto creano. Personale molto accogliente e disponibile. Spero di avervi come punto di riferimento ancora per molto

È un caffè letterario ampio e ben gestito, dove sono presenti innumerevoli libri di ogni genere. Ai cultori degli amari, suggerisco di assaggiare l'amaro del Golfo, che a primo acchito non pare invitante per via dell'odore e anche del sapore, ma, non fermandosi alla prima impressione, se ne riesce ad apprezzare il sapore assolutamente naturale. Il personale è accogliente e piacevolmente pronto a dispensare consigli.
