Stay tuned for more on this development, which is an exciting one for Italophiles and lovers of fine desserts.

Jimmy said: I'll believe that they're truly bringing it Italian style if they serve Illy or Lavazza and not Alterra or Stone Creek.

Paul B said: Downtown and the east side already have an abundance of coffe shops and even a few places that serve gelato. Everything can't be on the east side. The suburbs are more lacking in these types of establishments, so yes, bravo to Oconomowoc or any other suburb that manages to attract a quality coffee house other than Starbucks. No knock on Starbucks, but variety is always a good thing.
