Sesto Senso Home

Okay.

They took us in at the last minute when my place wasn't ready. The room and bathroom worked perfectly for us, and the server was very accommodating. We woke up to complimentary cappuccino and pastries, and there was Wi-Fi too. I'd recommend stopping in for coffee or staying the night if you're in the area.

The price of table service changed from €0.50 per person to €1 overnight, and I can't see a real reason for that. I paid what they asked, even though it felt like more than was due, expecting the same service as the day before. Instead, despite saying I was sitting outside at the same table, I got four granitas in disposable cups. They looked full at the top, but the bottoms were empty, so there was less granita. It felt deliberate, and the switch from glass to takeaway cups made that impression worse. Some of the desserts were also still too frozen to eat right away, though temperature wasn't my main concern. I have the receipts and a photo taken there. I felt completely cheated and was really disappointed, especially when the beaches were empty and few people were around during a difficult summer. I paid the extra €2 without a fuss, since money wasn't the issue. I just felt a review was deserved. I went to this bar on the 20th for a granita and dessert and was greeted promptly and served very well. The granita in a glass was expensive, but the portion seemed worth the price, and the desserts were delicious and at the right temperature. I left happy enough to say so, and decided to bring my whole family the next day, the 21st. I wish I could have written a positive review, so I deliberately waited until after that visit. Next time I'll go elsewhere. I hate having to write this.

I went in this morning for plain croissants and asked whether they could fill them with Nutella. The girl said yes, so I paid €2 each. At home, I had to throw out all five because they'd been filled with hazelnut cream instead. I called back, and she confirmed it was their hazelnut cream, or a copy of Nutella. They could simply have told me they didn't have Nutella Ferrero. I would have gone to another bar instead of wasting €10.
