    We had truffle beef pasta, salmon/octopus pizza and tiramisu. Personally, I felt the food lacked flavour. The 2 stars are mainly because of the service. They did not really speak English, because of which, there was no extra effort to seat us. We ended up on a middle table, with no usual oil/salt/pepper etc and setting the other tables had. Overall, I would not recommend this place to foreigners.

    Always a great experience. Waiters are very kind and professional and go that extra mile for you. Although I wouldn’t say their pizzas are anything to write home about, I find the Michelangelo pizza pretty delicious - it’s juicy and crunchy and tasty. There’s so much delicious food to choose from the menu that we’ll definitely be coming here for some time to come. The atmosphere is lovely, outside as well as inside (rusty decor). There’s also a huge parking space. Make sure to make a reservation over the weekend.

    Great Tuscan food and kind/polite staff. Another visit not so impressive - much smaller portions. Another visit higher prices...

    I ate pizza called David and I wasn't impressed. Ingridents were OK but the dough was not too good. They should really consider using napoletan dough. Service was very professional and kind. Also the ambient is awsome. I have to try some other things on the menu.

  • 5/5 Free Free set me f. 1 year ago on Google
    Almost 30 years the best restaurant in Ljubljana town. Was my pleasure to come back again after years but now regular guest with password: One...but eat for 2. ;) If you are not sadisfied than its not problem of place, food, atmosphere but your bad mood...come back when you feel positive and enjoy. Trust me every few days I came from another part of town to dinner and ask me why? Desert of Tiramisu is better than original Italian...and I tested many many worldwide...few can stand in the same line... See you soon... P.S. schrimps plate or King Prawns prefered... the only bad thing is that I need to leave after good Borovnicev drink that owner give to wishing you too come again. Why? Read again from top... ;)

    The food was very good. The waiter made some excellent choices from wine to dessert. The prices were reasonable and the staff was friendly and helpful. The menu had lots of choices. They do take credit card, but make sure you have cash for tipping. Reservations are needed if you plan on coming at a busy time of day to ensure you get seated.

    Cosy restaurant with focus on Italian dishes and steaks. Food is OK (steak). However I got served the worst ever Irish coffee.

  • 3/5 Kahena M. 7 months ago on Google
    Well, after reading some very positive reviews and having dinner here because local friends were raving about this place, I'm honestly a bit disappointed. The staff is pretty lovely and is giving their best! Atmosphere and vibe in and outside the restaurant is very nice! Try to get a spot in the garden! Looks like a little fairytale forest. The food. What can I say, everyone has a bad day, we had a couple of dishes. They were all okay. Will probably give it another go, but not really impressed from the kitchen:/

  • 5/5 Zelenne F. 7 months ago on Google
    Food was delicious and nice presented. I loved the fact that we arrived 1 hour before to our reservation and that wasn't a problem, they had our table ready with the baby chair. The waiters are nice, funny, attentive, etc. Loved the place. It's my 2nd time already there. Near the highway, good for a nice stop on the way to vacations or back home.

  • 1/5 Joest H. 4 months ago on Google
    The restaurant was cold and service was poor. We ordered salads and were not told to go the salad bar and were waiting consequently. The pasta was ok, but too little and I ended up leaving hungry. My wife’s dish was not served as she requested and to compensate the waiter offered us snaps. A nice gesture but we don’t drink alcohol… Get connected waiter with your clients!!

  • 5/5 Dmitrii D. 5 months ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants in this location of Ljubljana. Well thought out interior. High quality and durable furniture. Thoughtful table setting and beautiful romantic lighting. Experienced, respectable waiters, not stupid youths. The staff speaks English. There is ample parking, but it is not always easy to find a place - the restaurant is popular and there are many visitors. The quality of the food is very good, the pizza is very tasty. Of course, I’m curious what kind of fish can be cooked for 90 euros, but I refrained from trying it. Obviously there is a separate banquet hall. I was confused by the high cost of some of the dishes, but maybe they are worth it. In fact, the menu is very large, with a huge selection to suit all tastes and all budgets. In summer it’s great to sit on the cozy terrace, and in cold weather the interior spaces are very spacious. Modern and clean toilets. Professionally organized service. Satisfied. If you want can get “take away” service.

    My pizzas for take out were prepared quickly. The place is nice and cosy, I wish I had time to stay inside and have proper lunch

  • 3/5 Alenka R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very clean, tidy, pleasant atmosphere. Very professional staff. No designated playground for children but still plenty around for them to be occupied (nature, trees, birdcage, some ponies in a pasture next to the parking lot). We were a bigger group with two toddlers and two tweens, it can get a little confusing and loud, but they handled us with professionalism and grace even when things got mixed up. Only go if you want a slow food experience, as they take their time. The food was okay but pretty average - I guess I was disappointed because of their reputation and price point and when you have a 10€ polenta on the menu, you expect a little more than just... Plain polenta poured on a wooden board with two spoonfuls of mushroom sauce - even though that's exactly what the menu says. Maybe the mushroom soup was too salty and polenta was plain, pasta and njoki were good but very average also... Nothing specifically was wrong, but it was a little underwhelming, probably because of high expectations.

    Excellent food, amazing selection on the menu. The walnut ravioli was fantastic and the mascarpone dessert was our of this world. Great salad bar. Great service. Beautiful outdoor tables.

  • 5/5 Isaac H. 2 years ago on Google
    Restaurant was a bit crowded at the time of my visit. Staff was friendly and helpful eventhough my friend and I had no reservation. Food was delicious and we were served fast and with positive attitude which is quite rare nowadays. We will gladly return to the place.

  • 5/5 Stefan Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Customer service was on a very high level, the waiter was taking care of the table like I have never seen before. The food was fresh and outstanding, very delicious. I recommend to book a table, as it gets quite crowded. If you are a juicy beefy steak fan, I recommend you taking the Pepper Steak.

  • 3/5 Mitja R. 4 years ago on Google
    Decent food but it happens almost every time that service is a bit lousy. They keep you waiting for an order (“hey I’ll be back in 2 minutes”... and then 15 minutes pass by...), unorganized in bringing dishes (got mine 10 minutes before my spouse that ordered pizza, her pizza was waiting besides the oven for more than 10 minutes and no one seems to care...), waited quite long to get our dishes and could not have salad since we did not get our forks & knifes before the dishes... and at the end ... paying ... they keep you waiting for quite long before someone passes by to charge for the meal... the bad thing is this happened lots of times and over several years.

  • 5/5 Tamas S. 2 years ago on Google
    The garlic soup is i guess the best i had so far. The pasta is also very good. Service brilliant. Only make sure that you do not plan your visit for just one hour.

  • 3/5 Anette R. 2 years ago on Google
    I had pizza and it was okay. Poor rating as I just didn't liked the pizza, it was very basic but they had a lot of stuff on the menu and accepting cards. They have nice parking lot outside

  • 5/5 Matija �. 2 years ago on Google
    Delicious food, reasonable prices, friendly waiters. Book your table in advance.

👍👍 Very good burgers, one of the best in Slovenia. Also chicken wings were great. House beer was OK. Prices are very expensive, burger was 12,9€ and beer 4,9€.

👍👍 Very nice Parisian inspired cafe in the center of the city. Good for breakfast and brunch however they also offer many other warm meal options such as pasta and salads! Service was fast and efficient. Maybe a little bit pricey but good quality!
