OD Caffè will be both a place to meet and relax, where the convivial atmosphere and range of food with a gourmet touch, in a colourful and flowery interior spread over two floors with a view of the cathedral, create the right mood to spend time with friends or read a good book or newspaper, before going back to the daily routine.

From breakfast to the mid-morning or afternoon break al break, a range of different coffee blends, aromatic teas, soft drinks and cakes; or for lunch or dinner, with tasty entrées and main courses; and then appetizers, for fans of cocktails and buffets rather than dinner.
