Cafe Am Gries - BRESSANONE

A lot of choice of sweets, although not exceptional, are more beautiful than good

The “coffee on the gravel” is a must during walks in the village. in the center a stone's throw from the white tower is this perfect place for a great hot chocolate accompanied by a sublime slice of cake. comfortable and warm rooms in winter, a cozy summer dehor in the small courtyard of the room is perfect for aperitif in the historic heart of brescia. the staff, friendly and always helpful, puts customers at ease for some minutes of healthy relaxation.

Very efficient and attentive staff to every detail! in addition to the cakes shows and with various choices, presented very well, you can also have lunch with fresh dishes of the kitchen, although we preferred to have lunch with a rustic sandwich typical of the area of excellent quality.

My husband and I sat down at 13:30, the waiter immediately informed us that the kitchen was closed, there were only toasts. There would be no problem if we hadn't seen a couple of Germans near us and sitting at the same time brought a risotto, and others arrived after a plate of spaghetti. My husband told him to the waiter, and he told us he was carrying out the data orders. After 10 minutes, he told us that if we wanted to, we had risotto instead of toasting. Obviously we did not accept, we ate after 30 minutes our toast, and anyway we will not set foot anymore.

In the historical heart of brescia, behind the cathedral and close to the forests of the renewed academy of cusano, cultural center of the city where I heard a concert conducted with mastery by the musicologist Dr. rubboli di modena, there is this shop of pastry with restaurant service also in an ancient room very elegant and with cozy open garden, if there is the sun, even in winter. all here, both sweet and salty, is prepared with extreme care and served carefully. an experience not to be missed!
