Entire university careers and international romances are owed to Al Parlamento's powerful espresso, happy-hour cocktails (6pm to 9pm) and excellent overstuffed tramezzini (triangular, stacked sandwiches). Draped ship ropes accentuate canal views from the large windows at the front. Drop by in the evening and you might catch a live band or DJ set.
