Duca Bar – unser Lieblingsplatz in Lido di Ostia! Super freundliche Bedienung – immer herzlich, aufmerksam und mit einem Lächeln! Der Kaffee ist ein Traum – ob kräftiger Espresso oder cremiger Cappuccino, hier schmeckt man echtes Italien-Feeling . Frische Croissants und leckere Teilchen machen den Besuch perfekt – ideal zum Frühstück oder für zwischendurch. Mega praktisch: Fahrkarten für den Bus bekommt man hier gleich dazu! Preis-Leistung ist wirklich unschlagbar – top Qualität zu fairen Preisen. Dazu die entspannte Atmosphäre, die sofort gute Laune macht. Wer in Ostia ist, sollte unbedingt vorbeischauen – ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen und Genießen!
