"The nutella icecream isn’t ice cream it’s just frozen nutella"
Delia deli
"Ice cream here is nice (if anything a bit too sweet) and we stopped by several times in different days. The reason for the three stars is because of the lady at the till who told me I should not use a card to pay for a coffee, because of the low amount. Not only this is not legal in Italy to my knowledge, but any card fee is a frictional cost that businesses charge back to customers, so it should not represent a problem. Further point is that the lady was still unhappy after I told her that the coffee was following an 18 euros order I had just finished consuming. So, you’re welcome to go there and enjoy an ice cream, but be mindful about how you might be treated at the money of paying"
