Morning coffee in Italy? Head to the bar!

In Italy, the day begins not with a home-brewed espresso, but at the local coffee bar. For many, coffee is more than just a caffeine fix; it’s a cherished ritual, a social hub, and a taste of tradition. Join us in Vicenza at “Pigafetta,” where Carla and Luigi have been serving coffee for over 50 years. Discover the secrets behind the perfect Italian espresso, learn the difference between Arabica and Robusta beans, and understand why coffee bars are the beating heart of Italian life.

From macchiato to cappuccino, from sweet pastries to pistachio coffee—experience coffee culture as you’ve never seen it before.
