The name 'Gufo' means owl, referencing its location on Rue de la Chouette, a historic street in the old town. Visitors can observe Italian coffee traditions being practiced daily, with carefully prepared drinks and homemade pastries served throughout the day.
The location sits in an active part of the old town and can be accessed via stairs on both sides, so visitors should be prepared for a few steps. Arriving early is advisable, especially during weekend hours, as seating can fill quickly due to the small size of the space.
