Aperitivo super: complimenti al barman che oltre gli spritz per gli adulti fatti alla perfezione è venuto al tavolo per chiedere i gusti della frutta preferita per l’aperitivo analcolico della bambina, che dire veramente gentile ed anche questo di una squisitezza assoluta! Serviti con tagliere di stuzzichini veramente esagerato, fatto cena talmente era abbondante. Grazie ancora al super barman: complimenti!
