Caffè Parisi

This is one of my favorite spot for a relaxing stop during a bycicle tour. The view on the beautiful old town square from the cozy outside seating area is fabulous. Nice coffee and "pasticciotto". You step in history when crossing the door of this bar. The best in Nardo' and the staff is professional and very polite!

I came here mainly to try the pasticciotto, but sadly, the experience didn’t live up to my expectations. I ordered a double espresso macchiato along with a ricotta chocolate pasticciotto. The coffee was quite average, almost watery, and the ricotta in the pasticciotto was too dry for my taste. The service was slow, but the worst part was sitting outside. They use steel chairs on cobblestone, so every time someone moved or left their seat, the noise was really loud and distracting. If you decide to visit, definitely try to sit indoors!

Excellent food, I had tagliolino gamberi, and loved it… also a good pasticiotto and coffee for dessert, beautiful place and nice service.

Visited this place today and all I can say is that it was an amazing experience. Really nice service and super good food. What stood out the most was the tiramisu, I have never had such a perfect one like this before! Definitely a must have when you visit this place. And while you're at it, add one coffee on top, as they are with cute artworks and taste delicious too.

Very polite service. Good Vitello tonnato. Good tiramisù with a twist - instead of the classic lady fingers they used a chocolate sponge. But the best part was the ice cream - super delicious pistacchio gelato!

Scam! They made us pay 50% “bar service charge”! We ordered two cappuccinos inside at their bar, for EUR 1,50 each according to their menu. The waitress told us to sit outside, she would bring our order. The cappuccinos were fine, but when we walked in afterwards to pay the total of EUR 3 (plus a tip, of course), the super unfriendly guy behind the counter demanded EUR 4,5 - thanks to a ridiculous “bar service charge” which none of the cafes we visited during our 3+ weeks all over Italy (and there were many!) ever dared to ask! Unfortunately, we only saw later from the many bad reviews here (filter for “lowest score”) that this is the usual scam of this place. Well, we’re in town for a couple of days, and this bar will certainly never see us again. If you consider visiting Caffè Parisi, better stay away and choose one of the honest bars in Nardò!

Beautiful mid century café and bar with all the right features. From the typical pasticciotti to gourmet croissants locally made with top quality ingredients, really great caffè (espresso) and coffee choices. I also enjoyed their service. From around midday Italian aperitivi and international cocktails are served. A staple during my days in Nardò.

Top place to try local food and drinks. Second time I am in Nardo, and second time came here to eat pasticiotto and to drink cold coffe will almond syrup. Next time I want to try brioche with ice cream
