Italy, I miss your coffee bars

I've said it before, I'll say it again. If all of Italy was run like they run their cafe bars, the world would be a better place. You step up to the marble counter, make your order, and you've got it in a lovely china cup, at a perfect drinking temperature, within 60 seconds. If you want to linger, that's fine too, pick a table and settle in for a leisurely sip. If you feel in need of something with a little kick, there's everything from rum to bubbly. If you're hungry you can get a sweet or savoury nibble. It is fast, friendly, warm and the dog is welcome. Just what I like.
