My parents saw this in Rome yesterday, wish there was on in LA.

Salt Lake City seems to have a little cafe though in the dealership.

We had one in Park City, Ut. Stopped by several times, was closed when it was supposed to be open, got in once, nothing special. It had no chance the way it was run.

What a stupid idea! Just feeds the stereotype that ducati riders don't actually ride, they just hang around trendy cafe's drinking lattes.

I don't think it's a stupid idea, and it's a far cry from the HD marketing.  It's a fine dining cafe, not a licensed Starbucks, and I don't think it feeds a misconception about Ducatistas.

Might not work in LA though, too many yuppies here.

I'd go, but that's just because I love anything related to Ducatis.  If they had a Ducati coffee shop, restaurant, or even a Duc water park, I'd go.

That's my attitude.  I don't consider it to be any different than your hometeam's sports bar.

hmmm....never looked at it that way.  With that argument, I cannot talk trash about all the HD guys wearing their brand since i'm guilty of wearing my team colors.

I'd go if I knew the owner or staff, or if the food and drink specials were better than my usual haunt...

actually, no....I'd go if I knew the owner or staff....

wait....maybe just the owner...

um....and I owed him a favor....

er...and he let me use the alley entrance...

and maybe eat back in the kitchen.


I have no good reason at all for it to bug me.   I'd love a place that had no official connection to Ducati but was all about Italian bikes and had bike parking, races on tv, etc.etc.     but this place as it looks would be really really far down my list.

A lot of Ducatisti Romani and Ducati lovers frequents Ducati Caffe'.  Not your typical coffee shop.



 No that's not me in the pic lol

+1  I went up one sunday hoping to catch a MotoGP race, but they were closed. I see these places as an opportunity to find fellow riders who might not be internet peoples.

The idea of something similar in L.A has been discussed...

Something more themed to motorsports and motorycle racing in particular.... ( space big enough to catch a variety of races - TT, MotoGP, SBK etc-

we shall see what happens..
