In the 1920’s and 30’s, Dante’s Café was where struggling artists gathered for a cheap cuppa joe and conversation. The place looks the same today, but conversation isn’t possible, thanks to a blaring indie soundtrack and dense crowds. But you may not mind after tasting the encyclopedic variety of apperativos at what's been a fixture on the “Best 50 Bars of the World” list since 2019. Tips: Happy hour (3-6pm) slices the cost of Negronis; outdoor tables are first come and the most serene spots here.
