Traditionally, espresso in Italy varies significantly from the north to the south. Starbucks most popular roasts are to a level that was popular in Southern Italy. Starbucks does sell some lighter roasts and can do pour overs and press pots. Talk to the people working there. In my experience they are knowledgeable, care about the coffee, and are friendly (especially when they aren't crazy busy).
