When we got back from Italy, and before we bought our own machine, Bellatazza was a place that I visited fairly regularly. I had tried some of the huts closer to our house in hopes of finding a decent cappuccino but didn't have much luck. They seemed to be the only shop (at the time) who could produce a pretty good cuppa. Last night I had a meeting with a client in Bellatazza and stopped on my way to out to pay my respects and buy some joe. Went for the 12 ozs. cappuccino, which is a crime really because even with a double shot it's just not "right," and still liked it. Maybe not as much as before, yet it held its own. Course with all the milk it was hard to tell. I will say that when you get one "not to go" it is served in a smaller cup (if memory serves) and the taste is a lot different.
Too bad the cafe is so small. Always hard to find a table in there but summertime is fabulous in the front courtyard.

I have found that the word "dry" when ordering my cappuccino produces better results with area baristas... and if I get a blank look then I quickly switch my order to an Americano. ;)
Welcome to the blogosphere!
I've found that using the term "dry" can be a crapshoot, though. Sometimes it will be closer to how they do it in Italy and othertimes it will be nothing but the espresso with spoonfuls of foam foam (not microfoam) on top. I like mine in between...and with microfoam, not foam foam. lol
