As a way to celebrate the Italian-Americans from Kansas City, Parisi Coffee is offering buy one get one free espresso shots, two for one online purchases of the Roma Espresso blend and ‘The Pasquaglione’ espresso martini.
Parisi Coffee’s head of marketing explained the drink specials are an antipasto to the World Cup coming to the metro in a few months.

“I think it’s giving us a chance to celebrate baseball season before spring training and it’s unique,” Tonya Mangels said. “I think it would be amazing if Team Italy meets Team USA in the finals.”
Team Italy takes on Team Venezuela on Monday night to see who competes against Team USA on Tuesday night.
