An historic bar in the heart of Chiavari, the Gran Caffe Defilla has been a hang-out since 1914. It was popular with literary types and became a local institution. It is a bar, coffee shop, pastry shop, candy shop and wine tasting room all rolled into one. They host jazz evenings and other special events. It's a popular gathering spot, where you can have a cappuccino in the morning, and a glass of wine with friends in the evening. Nice atmosphere.
