    A good mediterranean experience, especially for internationals. The menu has different flavors from Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece, that overall were good. I especially recommend the stew meat and meatballs - extraordinary dishes to dip bread in. The portions are not big (even for tapas), so although I recommend to share the plates with your friends, prepare yourself to order a few more (2/3 portions per person). Being from Portugal, I would say it's a good effort.

    Everything we had is great. Carpaccio is a must. As well as Trio Panne, Pan con Tomate and Risotto. Nice staff and service.

    We were a group of 5 and shared many dishes: EVERYTHING was delicious!!! The spanakopita, the risotto, the pork stew, … and the best of all: The lentil soup 🀩 The staff was very kind and pro. We highly recommend and will come back.

    Fast service, incredibly friendly staff and amazing food. Best carpaccio we ever had and the pancetta basically melted in your mouth. Very much worth a visit.

    Very cute restaurant in the city center, good service and average food. I liked the idea of serving the olivers in their little can. Compared to other places in the center this is above average. The prices are also ok and the waiter (Walter if don't remember wrong) is very friendly and helpful.

    The pork stew was great, the small potatoes side was also amazing, the portions were kinda small but not too small, but that was expected as they focus on sharing. The waiter was also nice, overall a nice experience, would recommend!

    Great place for lunch and tapas. Friendly staff, service was quick when we were there (shortly before peak lunch time). Is located in a quaint little cobblestone street with multiple restaurants. The outside seating faces the street so it's the perfect place for people watching.

    The staff is really nice. The food was absolutely delicious. The carpaccio was exquisite and the wine selection was also very good.

    Maybe the best place I’ve ever been. We have experienced a lot of Italian restaurants in Holland and Italy but none were as good as this one is

    This place has quite possibly the best tapas in town! They have specials that consistently change to something else fantastic, and their wine selection is quite good. Go early for dinner in the summer or you're going to be waiting for a table...

    I went there because a friend of mine recommended it. Believe me, from now on I will never listen to his recommendations again. Not only was the food mediocre, but the prices were astronomical as well. As a group of 3 people, we ordered salmon sticks, a plate with mixed cheese and ham and 3 refreshments. I have to say that the salmon sticks were only 3 and that they were not something special, while the ham and the cheese were like as if they had been purchased from the local supermarket and then they were placed in our pates. For these things, we payed approximately 40€. There are many other restaurants in the region selling delicious food in low prices.

    Awesome take away dinner!!! Stopped by chance in the morning and called them in the evening. Generous portions of vitello tonnato, sauces to go with bread and of mixed charcuterie, also liked the croquetas. I can’t imagine how delicious it will be in the restaurant when back to new normal. Ah, and the pastel de nata - bom apetite !!

    Higher end tapas bar restaurant with varying selection of food. Food is excellent and nice wines to accompany them to choose from. Can satisfy large eaters as well as those looking for a bite next to a drink. Well worth the visit.

  • 3/5 Alessia C. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was good, but I found the prices to be a bit high for the small portions you get

  • 5/5 duygu 5 years ago on Google
    The food is really delicious. Staff is very friendly. He explained very nicely the menu and how big the portion is. I had a sit outside to enjoy the sunshine. I can say there is small but very cute teracce. Price is also not expensive.

  • 1/5 Irene P. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is very nice, good ambient, but the amount/portions of food are very small. We were used to ask for "croquetas" and received 6-8 units, and here they served us 3 units. Extremelly small to share between 4 persons.

  • 4/5 Barbara J. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good food. Both tapas and carpaccio. The service could have been better.

  • 3/5 Nicolae C. 10 months ago on Google
    The food was really good. But the service was mediocre. We got the cold appetizers after the main dish. The stuff neglected us, we had to way super long for service, to get the bill etc. And they forgot to bring 1 tapas.

    The place is amazing we have sited outside we didn't like the food at all seriously tried the taverna fileto and panceta and it wasn't what expected fileto was Uncooked And the pancetta was small and full of fat and with a broth that smelled like octopus the staff was very friendly and fast not going for food again maybe for a 🍻

  • 1/5 Maciej H. 7 months ago on Google
    First time in my life, I could only order coffee after the dinner !!! In addition the service folks where very rude passing the message. (There is a way to say the same but in a nice and polite way) As a customer I definitely do not accept such treatment !!!!

😠 Worst attentiveness I have ever received in a cinema. Lack of humanity. Mocking of the clients. They gossip about the clients through their walkies. Horrible experience. Might as well buy the movie at home and watch it alone rather than having to go through such experience. Or go to another cinema....
