Italian café
Roman espresso bar
An Italian café is a coffee shop or small restaurant in the Italian style, typically serving espresso drinks, pastries, and light fare.
The term evokes a particular atmosphere—small tables, leisurely conversation, strong coffee.
We stopped at an Italian café for cappuccinos.
In Italy itself, such establishments are simply called bars or caffès.
