Welcome to Bar Polo, the hidden gem of Castelnovo ne' Monti, nestled in the breathtaking Italian Apennines. This charming café is more than just a stop for coffee; it’s a delightful journey into the heart and soul of this enchanting region.

Known for its cozy yet vibrant atmosphere, Bar Polo offers an inviting space where locals and visitors alike can unwind and indulge. As you step inside, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee invites you to relax and enjoy the moment. The café is inspired by the nearby majestic Pietra di Bismantova, which adds a poetic touch to your experience, echoing the rich cultural heritage of Dante’s Divina Commedia.

The menu is a delightful array of treats that reflect the local culture. While specific dishes weren't provided, the café is renowned for its delicious gnocco fritto, a must-try according to many patrons.

Real experiences from customers light up the charm of Bar Polo. Take it from Giancarlo Cirronis, who praised the café for its friendly staff and lovely aperitivo before lunch—an ideal way to start your day. Angelo Tedoldi's description of the “ottimi prodotti ad un prezzo giusto” highlights not only the quality of the offerings but also the value that keeps customers returning. And for those with a love for the outdoors, Giacomo Conti captured the essence of a post-ski coffee, remarking that it provides a comforting retreat on a day of adventure in the stunning backdrop of Cerreto Laghi.

Lucas Campani summed it up perfectly with his enthusiasm for Bar Polo as a "stupendo bar di montagna." The friendly ambiance, coupled with mouth-watering local specialties, makes this café an obligatory stop every time he passes through Castelnovo Monti.

Castelnovo nè Monti è l'entrata nella mia terra di origine, caratterizzata dalla presenza di Dante. In questo bar ci si ispira alla Pietra di Bismantova e di conseguenza alla Divina Commedia. Ci sono passato al rientra da una giornata di sci a Cerreto Laghi, con un amico, e ci siamo presi un gustosissimo caffé, in un'atmosfera di turismo a casa propria. Una sensazione che apprezzo tanto. Prossima volta vorrei provare a fare una colazione il mattino presto. Giacomo

Stupendo bar di montagna. Gnocco fritto spaziale, buonissimo, da non perdere. Mi fermo ogni volta che passo da Castelnovo monti e continuerò a fermarmi. Proprietaria simpaticissima
