Reception

Cipriano Efisio Oppo called the painting "clean as a copper pot in a kitchen". Alberto Francini of L'Italia Letteraria wrote about the scene: "And do not let the lone, bare table in a seaside Trattoria in Ostia deceive you. There is no tragedy. There will soon be a steaming bowl of fragrant fish soup . The Woman at the Café will have her ice cream, and the Young Girl will find a husband."
