Bar Caffetteria Hescanas

Orvieto, Italy Cafe

Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. The location is very strategic, having an indoor and outdoor facing the Cathedral. The place is nice. you can enjoy food and drinks or even a cappuccino. Had an impromptu lunch here that was quite good. Location is right in front of the Duomo. Porchetta sandwich was delicious so was the caprese salad. I had a leisurely late lunch at Bar Caffetteria Hescanas, sitting on the patio, and people watching the scene at Piazza Duomo. I saw other reviews on Trip Advisor, a bunch of which were negative. I didn't have such a bad experience at all! It is a great place for a glass of 🍷 or ☕️ and light snacks if you want to believe all the negative reviews. Well worth it for the view alone! Orvieto Bar Hescanas We stopped in for a cappuccino as we were cold. The bartender greeted us warmly and we sat, warmed up, and bought a bottle of Orvieto Classico. The wine was okay, the coffee wonderful. Complete scam! We made the mistake of dining at a notorious tourist trap Bar Caffetteria Hescanas near the main attractions. Without checking the reviews beforehand, we decided to give it a go. Biggest regret. First off, they hit you with a sneaky 6.50 euro “table cover” fee, only disclosed in tiny print at the top of the menu. You won’t even notice until you get to the register and question why your bill is inflated. Also, make sure to get the original bill and snap a photo of the menu—there’s a shady habit of adjusting prices, especially when paying in cash. Very expensive too. The food was absolutely disappointing. The pasta tasted like it had been microwaved, and the sauce barely clung to the pasta, leaving us questioning why we didn’t opt for a local spot. To make matters worse, the area is swarming with pickpockets, so keep your belongings close. Trust me, save your money and sanity—do not go here! Total scam. Location is excellent. Waitress efficient. Food, drinks and prices acceptable. Toilets below average. If you’re reading this in the height of summer then this review is not for you. The best time to visit the classic towns of Tuscany is not in the scorching summer heat. It’s now in that warm spring time of blue skies, empty streets, and joyful birdsong. Orvieto echoes with car-free silence, carefree simplicity, and church bells chiming the quarters. Its heart for a millennium has been the square in which sits the duomo. You can pay 8€ each to go inside, offer your prayers amidst the inevitable school group on tour, and marvel at its austerity from within in a relatively short time. However perhaps instead you might prefer to see it in its setting, with an espresso and (large) plate of local sheep cheeses, for which the surrounding countryside is renowned. From the sunlit table outside the Bar Hescanas the duomo rises to the occasion. Its horizontally striped facades, a challenge for any artist, take time to absorb. Life at this leisurely pace is why you’re here. The cost of the culture, food and coffee is cheap at the price even if they weren’t outstanding. There is no price on enjoying a moment of peace in a world of hustle. The whole experience is made even more valuable by having excellent loos and Roberto, the manager who runs it with such grace. I did not experience any rudeness from the staff, in fact they were quite friendly and polite. However it is definitely over priced - a pint of beer and a bottle of beer came to 11 euros. I'm from London and even here this sort of price would be considered a bit too much.
