About Zanarini
An elegant 1960s cafe on Piazza Maggiore with white marble tables and a prime terrace for watching the city's main square. The espresso is expertly pulled and the pasticceria includes exceptional sfogliatelle and cannoli. Locals come for morning cappuccino and the newspapers.
Insider Tips
Stand at the bar for a quick espresso at EUR 1.20 instead of EUR 4.50 at a table. The terrace is worth the premium for afternoon people watching.
