    We booked through and online app and got a discount, this was the trigger to explore this place. There is a nice garden behind the street that you could never guess. The ambience is fine. The service was regular. The menu is a selection of Italian foods and some American style ones (burger, ribs, pulled pork etc). We took a vitello tonato, a veal with lemon and pork milanese alla chef. The vittelo tonato was the best dish, followed by the tender veal, even if it could have used a bit more lemon sauce. The pork schnitzel was nothing special, the vegetables on top did not change anything especially since some were quite tired, without a basic oil dressing applied at least . The potatoes were pre cooked and lukewarm when served, not a great combination (skin boiled potatoes are optimal freshly cooked). The size of portions is ok. Prices are above mid, for our dishes it was not good enough value for money (veal 57, pork 43). Perhaps pasta and burger are better choices. Drinks are accessible. The discount of 25%, nice music and pleasant garden takes our experience at 3.5 stars and will give 4 in a positive gesture.

    We went inside thinking it's an average restaurant and we were baffled by the pristine service and the delicious food! The pasta is home-made, the risotto is made respecting the italian recipe (NOT pilaf like in other places) and the burger is DEEE-LICIOUS! would 100% return to this place!

    Very good restaurant! 1. Very nice place! 5 points 2. The food is really good! 5 points 3. Drinks: Very good wine; the classic Lemonade was at most correct; it could be better (and greater): 4.5 4. All the guys are really friendly (I ask them if it is possible to let the bicycles in their garden, because of the rain, and they said of course, they gave me an umbrella and helped me to transport the bicycles inside their space.) And very communicative :). 5 points also for the guys.: 5 points 5. Toilet: 5 for cleaning, 3 for aspect (nothing special): 4 points 6. Music: 3 points. They put some disco (radio) as background noise, not really in the atmosphere of the surrounding. I suggested Tommy Guerrero, for example. 7. The Garden: 5 points, really beautiful. I suggest installing some heaters. 8. Quality-price report: 5 Total: 4.6 :) Thank you, guys!

    Slow service, the food is average at best. The fish we ordered smelled like beef and chicken. I don’t recommend.

    Really impressed by the food. The fish was perfectly made and it came with a very good lemon dressing. It was our first time here, but definitely not the last one. As I said, good main courses. The desserts were just ok, but all in all it’s worth trying. 👌

    Acquaintance with this place began with not the most pleasant impressions - I was served a dirty prosecco glass, on which there was an imprint of female lips ... 😡 (photo). We would not have drunk a whole bottle of prosecco together, so we ordered 2 glasses - the choice is not large, it was cheap CANTI. Order (3 pastas) waited ... 50 minutes! The only sauce for the pasta was butter. At the expense of dessert - it was some kind of homemade cake, it included alcohol, burnt sugar. In general, this dessert is too sweet. When we ordered sweets for the child, including (the menu for desserts is separate and they didn’t bring it to us), we were not warned that there was alcohol in the composition. 🤦‍♀️ It may be customary here to give children desserts with alcohol, but I believe that the waiter is obliged to warn about this, especially since we were not given the opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the menu. At the tables on the street, of the visitors, probably only our family did not smoke. It's quite unpleasant to be a passive smoker! There are no separate tables for smokers and non-smokers.

    Amazing cozy Italian cuisine place! Great Italian dishes, but the capuccino is not the best. The burger buns need some improvements, so I would recommend sticking to one of the Italian dishes that will not disappoint!

    Very nice and spacious garden place, the waiters are lovely and the food is pretty good. We had some appetizers and they were pretty tasty. Wouldn't recommend their cheese board though - it's more crackers than cheese.

    Delicious food, beautiful garden, lovely atmosphere. Fish was really good w spinach and veggies, avoid house wine, the wine menu is comprehensive, you will find better options. We loved the dessert too: Krantz cake-yum.
