Caffè San Carlo

If the way too young and fashionista climate of the San Salvario clubs is not your style, but you still wish to have an aperitif comme il faut, then you can come to this historic café – that is also a restaurant – of piazza San Carlo; every evening from 5 p.m. a nice buffet is prepared (at 10 euros) and you can have a stem glass of wine or a cocktail, in a very quiet setting. History also oozes out of every detail of the room – just think that at its tables sat people like Einaudi, Gramsci, Benedetto Croce, Edmondo De Amicis (just to name a few).
