Chiara, la titolare, sa dare quel valore aggiunto al caffè del mattino, che ti fa uscire dal suo locale sempre col sorriso. Inoltre potete trovare ottimi panini e brioches, in un un'ambiente curato e familiare.

Ambiente cordiale e famigliare. Ottime colazioni e aperitivi. Ho partecipato personalmente alla serata di ieri sera con musica dal vivo: ottima musica, aperitivo molto curato e ricercato, servizio eccellente e puntuale. Grazie

A parte il locale che è carinissimo, hanno una vasta scelta, tra dolce e salato, per mangiare, ma, soprattutto, fanno un ginseng unico in zona Non esitate a fermarvi, gentilezza e cortesia vi accoglieranno sempre

Se cerchi un posto esclusivo e di tendenza non è questo! Al “Ballerino” ci vai perché ti senti a casa, perché ami la semplicità, perché Chiara ti saluta sempre col sorriso e si ricorda di te dopo una sola volta che ti ha visto, perché ha sempre un biscottino nelle mani per i cagnolini, che li adora, e perché ha sempre un minuto per chiederti come va… Lo preferirò sempre per le mie colazioni fugaci in compagnia dei miei cani!!

Non avrei mai pensato di trovare un posto così accogliente, sia per caffè, aperitivo, ma soprattutto per l'angolo all'aperto (che dalla strada non si vede) tranquillo, silenzioso e ventilato. Si anima le sere in cui si fa'musica dal vivo.
