Located in the Piazza di Lodi, Italy, this bistro/bar stands out with its decor and delicious food. The decorations are especially worth seeing during Christmas. I highly recommend starting your day with a cappuccino and a Nutella croissant.

Nice sun on the outdoor tables in the early morning. Spacious inside with great options. Low tables. High tables. Booths. Coffee is fine. You are paying for the ambiance. Disconcerting and annoying to be asked for money as soon as you are served at your table. Most people find this understandably annoying but I get it. Music not too loud which is great. Restaurant is affordable and good quality for the price.

Good taste coffee, good patisserie to choose from and the best place to have your coffee in a historical landmark piazza

We stopped by for coffee. There are outside tables and a spacious inside as well. In the toilets there is a baby changing table.

Fakely luxurious. A bit overpriced. Not very friendly. Hadn't been in this place since childhood; we went in on a Friday afternoon for a coffee/tea. It wasn't crowded; there were a few open tables and were quickly seated. 20 min later, we walked out because the only server had utterly ignored us and didn't care to serve us at all...

You enter this corridor-like bar, expecting to be escorted to a table and told, "Wait a minute, I'll see if there's a table for two." But no. You stand there, frozen in place, and the waiters look at you like you're an alien. You ask if you can sit, but you don't know where because you can't see the place from where you're standing. They say, "Oh yes, sit wherever there's room," and go back to ignoring you. You walk, but there's no room. We reach the end, a second room, and we see a table for two, but there's a sign saying, "Please wait to be escorted to your table." We, being civilians, stop. Waiters pass by, and we, still aliens. Finally, someone asks us what we're waiting for. We point to the sign, and the waiter is shocked, as if we'd placed the sign ourselves. "Oh no, go back, it's dinner time here soon." Left to our own devices, we retrace our steps, already determined to leave, but it's a mirage! A free table. We sit there, obviously no menu. The counter is full of desserts. We saw them as we passed, but we don't know what they are or how much they cost. First they tell you to wait at the table to order, then if you want to know what the desserts are, you have to get up and go to the counter. The counter where they'd sent you to your table five minutes earlier. I just wanted to sit down and have a cappuccino and a pastry without any worries. I'm already fed up. We ask to pay and are told they don't have a portable debit card and to give them the card. It's a terrible request, but it gets ridiculous when they show up at our table with the portable debit card because the card requires a PIN. The Nazionale is a historic place in Lodi, but having been there for decades doesn't give you the right to be sloppy. Nice atmosphere, probably good desserts, but service needs updating.

I went to the Nazionale in Lodi today with five of my friends, and unfortunately, our experience wasn't a positive one. However, I want to start with a positive note: the first waiter who served us, a young man with round glasses, was truly friendly and kind. A very pleasant initial welcome. We ordered five cocktails and an aperitif, but the accompaniments were truly meager: just two small pizzas and a tiny basket of chips, completely insufficient for five people. The prices are average: €6 for non-alcoholic drinks and €9 for an alcoholic cocktail. The situation worsened when another waiter, in a decidedly arrogant manner, informed us that we couldn't pay separately, but that the bill had to be paid together. His tone was unprofessional and almost aggressive, to the point of telling us he would call the owner because he "didn't know what to tell us." We asked the first waiter, the kind one, for clarification, and he explained clearly and apologized, telling us that separate payments were only for the restaurant. At the register, even the older gentleman who greeted us was rude, telling us that "we needed to explain ourselves better," even though the situation was already quite clear. Furthermore, the wait was long for a simple order like five drinks and a few pizzas. In conclusion, our experience was very disappointing, especially due to the rudeness of the staff and the lack of transparency in the payment process. I do not recommend it.

Food is alright but way too expensive. Terrible service, got screamed at, servers make no efforts for tourists. The only things that’s remotely alright in this establishment is a server called Louis. We got scammed out of our money, payed for tap water and got pressured by an unkind woman into paying said water when we didn’t want to. This place is an obvious tourist scam. We were moved from our seats into an awkward spot next to the service area by the same aggressive woman. Avoid at all costs, best to eat dog poop than having to walk into that place. TOURIST SCAM!!!
