Caffè degli Specchi

A landmark café on Piazza Unità d'Italia, opened in 1839, whose outdoor tables face the square and the sea, making it the city's best spot for people-watching.

The café is on the first floor of Palazzo Stratti and takes its name from its many mirrors. Its outdoor seating faces Piazza Unità d'Italia and the Adriatic Sea. Prices are a little higher than at other cafés, but the location is unmatched. Besides coffee, it serves Austrian-style desserts. Be sure to try the local specialty “capo in b.” In the evening, once the square's lights come on, it is equally pleasant for a quiet drink.
