Piękny przybytek, kiosk, kawiarnia i pizzeria w jednym. Wypijesz kawę i podrapiesz zdrapkę. Cuda jak na all-inclusive. Za barem Azjaci. Jest klimat

Normal Italian bar (coffee, snacks, brioche, ...); fair prices from the viewpoint of a German; nothing special; one can sit inside or outside; very friendly staff; you buy some lottery tickets here

Do quattro stelle a questo bar perché ho bevuto un ginseng buonissimo. Un bar modesto ma è pulito ed ha anche primi e secondi piatti. La proprietaria è stata gentilissima con noi. Qui si possono anche acquistare i biglietti per l'autobus.

Ottimo aperitivo con piatti cinesi ben preparati, gentilezza e solerzia nel servizio. Il bar dispone di un'ampia sala interna per festeggiare eventi, si può far baccano fino a tardi con grande gioia dei condomini soprastanti... Il bar di riferimento nella Bolognina ! Forza Tato!

Bar Astor is a great place to breakfast or coffee time. They serve a panini, tosts, croassants, bagiets. Very nice people manage this place. I gave 4 stars, not 5, because service people don't talking English. This isn't really huge problem, but at the beginning it was a little problem. If you are Italian, it will be very easy. If you are tourist, you will be improvising and using your body language :) Place have: air condition, tables and chairs to seat in peacefull, lots of product (mostly breakfast and light lunch, for sure not for dinner), good coffee (capuccino served with glass of water :)), fresh products, service is to table and don't have "coperto" - service tax (!). And the last one - the biggest plus is price. Coffe costs 1.10€, capuccino 1.40€, big tost 2€, piccolo dolce (little, homemade sweets) 0.80€!!! It Was a pleasure to be guest in this place. I recommend Bar Astor everyone, who want to drink good coffee and a little eat.
