Caffè dell'Epoca

Occupying a corner of Piazza Bellini steps from Intra Moenia, Caffè dell'Epoca is a lively institution among students and faculty from the nearby music conservatory and art schools. The espresso is solid and cheap, tables overflow onto the piazza on warm evenings, and the crowd of regulars gives it a buzzing, collegiate energy that is distinctly different from the formal café tradition. It functions as café by day and aperitivo bar by evening.
