Tentazioni (Piazza Sant’Oronzo)

££££ │ Breakfast, Coffee, Gelato & Afternoon/Evening Drinks

Open All Day │ Directions on Google

On the wide paved path that joins the smaller Piazza Castromediano Sigismondo onto the grand Piazza Sant’oronzo, you’ll find the elegant outdoor seating area of Tentazioni. It’s a fantastic spot to stop for a quick coffee/drink or ice cream, and watch the comings and goings of the locals & tourists through the heart of the old city.

Gelato and frozen yoghurt are the main events here, and as well as a good spot to grab a table, its equally as good for grabbing a quick gelato and going on your way. It’s all slick white and stainless steel inside, and and there’s a wide range of delicious flavours for you to choose from, as well as a simple bar for coffee & snacks. If you’re confused as to what’s going on when you go inside (it may be like Picadilly circus in there), the custom is to head to the cassa (the till) and pay for what you having first, aka a small/med/big cono (cone) or coppetta (cup). They will then point you in the right direction, you might need to wave your receipt around a bit at the gelato counter, but eventually someone will serve you. You can also get a perfectly decent pasticciotto, cornetto (croissant) or pastry.
