Antico Duomo

Augsburg


This Italian job opposite the cathedral has a pink Vespa scooter in the window, attractively laid tables and leathery chairs, seated on which you can enjoy something tasty from the bel paese. The menu runs the full gamut of Italian cuisine and there's plenty of prosecco and Valpolicella to wash it all down.
