Hala says
Founded 1733 on Via dei Calzaiuoli, on the corner of Piazza della Repubblica since 1917.
The interior (Belle Époque chandeliers, mirrored walls, lacquered panels) is the draw. Stand at the bar and drink it fast. Sit at a table and you're paying for the setting. The pastries are fine; the coffee is the thing. At night it transforms into a full-on Negroni room, jacketed bartenders included.
