    I would love to give more than five points. We spent an amazing evening here. Those guys do an excellent job. Service is very good. Pasta and salad are really delicious. I ordered an absinth, and they did a great entertaining show. Really enjoyed this. Prices are absolutely okay, you get a lot for that. I cannot understand bad reviews. This restaurant trys to improve every little fault (of this other bad reviews, which are not true). They care of what customers like or not. Just be patient with everybody.

    TOURIST TRAP!!! 54€ for a salad, pasta, lemonade and a cider. The blonde waitress was extremely rude and was talking about customers in Czech with her colleagues, thinking they wouldn’t understand. The quality of the food was beyond underwhelming. I genuinely don’t understand how people have reviewed this as good food and friendly ! There are far more better restaurants in Prague with far better quality and half the price. Please do not go here.

    Zero stars! Ruined our New Years Eve 2021-2022 Dont let it ruin yours! The short story: This place simply just tries to trick visitors. The chairs are horrendous, and the food is worth less than 10% of the price. Service is slow, we were stuck for 4 hours consuming our 3 course menu, on horrible chairs. We even saw another couple just leave before their last serving. Long story: Went there december 31 on New Years Eve, we came in earlier that day to book a table for the new years eve menu. They showed us the menu, it was a densely written sheet of paper with 3 different translations mixed together. We looked for the lines where it explained the courses, to see if its something we would like. It was, and we asked about the price. They told us the price was 1000 czk per person, and that we had to pay up front. I asked if that was the total price for the menu. They said total price is either 1000 zck or 95 eur. Okay kinda confusing, so i went a few steps away with my girlfriend to talk it over, and then went back to them. I then told them im gonna a pay in czk, and asked them yet again if 1000 zck is the total price per person. They looked at me strangely, as if the price should be easy enough to understand, and grabbed the reservation book, and asked where we'd like to sit. Okay, all gets settled. Later in the night when we are finished eating, and want to settle the bill for drinks (we had just a beer each) we were presented with a bill of an additional 3545 czk ( 5545 czk in total, we already prepaid 2000 czk ). I asked why the menu we ordered has a total price of around 4450 czk on the bill as one single item. The waiter said the price per person is 2000 czk, and quickly said that is also the price mentioned in the menu (the sheet of paper with 3 languages mingled together). So in any case, even as he said 2000 per person, he still took 2225 czk per person plus drinks. Obviously just scamming people out of money. Apart from the sky high price (which would have given us far better service many other places, had we not been tricked here) The chairs were also horrendous. Very hard chairs. Your butt will surely be sore. And the food was even kinda dull, especially considering the final price. We had eaten numerous places around Prague already, and we had far far faaaar better food for about 12% the price of this place. We even saw another couple leave before the last serving because the service was so slow too. It simply ruined our new years eve, going to this place. Stay away, take your money to any other places in Prague. There is plenty of great and honest places. This is just not one of them, despite what the other reviews suggest.

    The food was okay but prices were insane… 1000 czk for a pasta and minimum 500 czk for an appetiser. definitely not worth the visit.

    My tenderloin was suppose to be medium but was well done +. And it had a funny taste to it. The dessert was the only thing worth remembering. An absolute turist trap. The price is twice as much resembling to a good restaurant, but it was our first day I prague so we just took the first place we stumbled upon.

    My honest review: The venue is very well lit, clean and elegant. We were greeted right away and had our coats taken by the host, which was nice. The service was good but not great. We felt a bit rushed at the end even though there were still 40 minutes till closing. The food was mediocre for what they're are charging. 1000+ CZK for bland pasta. I didn't even pay near that in Rome! The salads we had were even worse. Also, the candles were in the middle of the table and did not let us speak comfortably. All in all, I would not be visiting again.

    I’m kind of shocked how expensive this was. We ate many places in Prague which were not only better in terms of food, but also overall atmosphere and location. We came here very randomly while it was raining to get a quick lunch, and we were the only ones there. The servers kind of hovered over us the entire time, which was kind of awkward. The food was not worth the price at all.

    Uns hatte am Vorabend das tolle Ambiente angesprochen, deshalb waren wir heute dort, toller Empfang, angenehmer Start. Die Speisekarte gab es leider nur tschechisch, italienisch und englisch, aber wir waren schnell der Meinung, dass wir für die Preise nichts passendes finden werden. Allein die Bier- und Weinpreise haben uns schockiert. So haben wir etwas getan, was wir noch nie getan haben: wir sind wieder gegangenen..

    Very friendly English speaking waiters. Food is delicious 😋 highly recommended, but be ready to pay much higher price. Location is in the very city center of old town. Good sitting outside, and inside is pretty and clean as well.

    Prices for the food were insane, over $300 for 3 pasta mains, 1 beer, 2 rosetti. Tourist trap, if you’re tired and it’s the first place you see to eat please keep walking a few hundred meters more. When we saw what the bill was going to be, told them to cancel the food and we left. I bet a lot of these 5 star reviewers have yet to check their credit card bill to see what they actually paid, or eventually walked around Prague to see many restaurants charging 1/4 of these prices.

    My friend and I came to this restaurant for a late dinner based on the positive reviews. We were very impressed with the pleasant service. We had the seafood mix. The food was very tasty, with homemade bread. The recommended wine was a great addition. Finally, ice cream in and limoncello. All in excellent quality. Highly recommended to visit

    Quite expensive restaurant. I sadly could not try any of the main courses as i was dissatisfied with the starters. I ordered the creamy tomato soup, but it was delivered Ice cold and not creamy at all. It was basically a can of fine chopped tomatoes and tasted like tomato sauce you put on a pizza. A bottle of water costs the same as a starter dish. You can simply get better quality and more food for way cheaper just down the block.

    Leider mussten wir auch wieder gehen, da ein Teller Spaghetti für 54€ (für ein Kind) einfach ein unverschämter Preis ist. Auch die anderen Gerichte und Getränke gab es auch zu noch weit teureren Preisen. Sehr schade aber hier stimmen Preis / Leistung absolut nicht. Wir waren schon einmal hier essen vor ca 5-5 Jahren. Das Essen war genauso gut aber kostete etwa die Hälfte vom jetzigen Preis und das Restaurant war voller Leute. Heute war es leer - warum wohl ?!?!

    Beautiful garden. We were walking around the city center, when we saw this beautiful place. Like a little Italian island in a middle of Prague. We had bottle of wine with mix of seafoods on a plate which was recommended to us by the waiter. Stuff was always friendly and nice. We had really good time here. Definitely recommended place.

  • 5/5 Лариса �. 1 year ago on Google
    Very lovely restaurant with delicious food and friendly stuff. Waiter recommended to us food and it was exactly what we wanted. We had burata as a starter fish for the main course and beautiful dessert. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Tom 2 years ago on Google
    We had a wonderful evening with our family (6 people). Martin was a very professional waiter. We had a kind of rough start as the main course got served before the Antipasti. However that got sorted out smoothly and we enjoyed the food very much. The delicious food and the very nice service made it a remarkable evening - Thanks Martin! Oh, and we even got the espresso served at the same time with the desert :-) Top notch service in my eyes.

    Nice Italian restaurant, the service is very good, it looks like they ate really trying to satisfy the costumer. The potato soup was amazing !!

    Good experience. My only criticism will be the pasta dishes that was very heavy and salty. The potatoes soup was amazing!

    We were here with my family for the dinner. Was a wonderful time. Me and my husband, had a bottle of Amarone wine, which goes very well with t-bine stake. Beautiful atmosphere in combination with good service made our wonderful evening. You definitely have to come here if you are in Prague. A little tip, they have table next to the fire place. Which keeps you warm and cozy. We will definitely come back.

    Beautiful restaurant, really good food. Me and my partner didn’t really know where to go on our first night and we stumbled past Oliva Nera. The prices are quite high but the food was exceptional and I don’t mind a higher price for good food.Service was equally as good and the restaurant was very pretty. It took roughly 50 minutes to have a starter, main and polish off a bottle of wine. Would recommend for a sophisticated evening.
