What’s your favorite coffee bar in San Diego? Would you like to find out where to taste authentic Italian coffee drinks in town? Keep on reading, because I’m going to give you some suggestions.
Pappalecco is the name of a nice Italian café in Little Italy that delivers the most authentic Italian café experience outside of Italy. Italian culinary artistry is an inspiration to the owner of this bar and its fantastic espresso, panini, and gelato.
Pappalecco is a metaphor for friendship and inside this place, they all stand for the unconditional dignity of the individual.
Pappalecco: more than a simple coffee bar where to eat panini, gelato and to taste Italian coffee drinks
Don’t be surprised if, when you go inside the shop, the staff will welcome you asking how you are and chatting with you even if you don’t know each other. This is exactly how we Italians use to do: we go to the bar to socialize and we immediately enter into confidence even if it’s the first time we meet. We talk about our day, the news of the day, the weather. The ability of the bartender or restaurateur to empathize with the customer is one of the factors that determines the success of a restaurant.
Italian style is an important part of Pappalecco’s proposal and this is one of the few places in America where you can live a true Italian experience.
Authentic and healthy Italian ingredients
Do you remember when, during the World Week of Italian Cuisine, I interviewed Consul General Silvia Chiave? From the conversation that you can hear in the podcast it emerged that Italians are trying to promote a healthy lifestyle and a Mediterranean diet in the United States.
Pappalecco wants to create and offer distinctive, healthful food from authentic, traditional, homemade products. Fresh, healthy, and balanced nutrition is good for the body and mind. Italy’s traditional recipes are the guide and inspiration for Pappalecco chefs.
Interview with Francesco Bucci
I had the opportunity to speak on the phone with Francesco Bucci, the creator of the Pappalecco gelato place and coffee bar in San Diego. As you can hear from the interview, many Americans from other cities or other counties go to the various Pappalecco stores to live the unique experience offered by this place.
