Opened in 1900, as indicated by the mosaic at the entrance, in Largo della Barriera Vecchia, this is an obligatory stop over for anyone wanting not just a coffee, but also to taste a cream puff, a “putizza” or a “presnitz”. The Liberty interior was much appreciated by the local bourgeois and by James Joyce, who lived in the same street, at number 32 for two years and began writing his Ulysses here.
