This child-friendly cafe, bar and bookshop is a comfy place to lounge and browse. It has a short, well-selected list of wines and serves cheese and cold-meat platters, salads and plenty of Italian specialities. 'Como en casa', as they say in Spanish, meaning it's welcoming and homey. It offers language-exchange sessions, too.
