Long before relocating to Rome, I had had the chance to enjoy the country and the city several times on my business trips to our office outside Rome, in Tivoli. Most of it was work and food, of course. Later, when I had become resident, I also had to understand better the culture and people around me, which was not always easy to start with.
I recall a British colleague, married to a woman from Milan who gave me a clue. He said: With the Italians, it is all about Attitude and Accessories. The attitude I guess can be translated into the quote: “All the world’s a stage. And all the Italians are all on it”. As for the accessories, you all know that the Gucci, Armani, Versace, Guess etc. brands are all over any Italian worthy his name.
This is of course highly applicable on the baristas - both in terms of attitude as well as accessories.
A good barista does not only know how to make that perfect espresso, but also know how to chat up the clients as well as being well-dressed will be a powerful asset to his employer. Well, to be honest, Italians are well-dressed at all times.
At the cross section of Piazza Crati and Via Nemorense is a bar that fully lives up to everything an Italian bar can offer in terms of Attitude and Accessories. The baristas are elegantly dressed with a vest and bow-tie, courteous and friendly, serves an excellent coffee to please your palate.
If it is warm enough, why not enjoy your coffee outside at one of their tables? This will give you a perfect opportunity to study and learn all about Italian Attitude and Accessories.
