very good food and fantastic service. we had tortellini spec, it was very good. the staff came several times and asked if we were satisfied. for starters we had aubergine gratin, unfortunately it was mostly cheese with almost no aubergine, but well worth another visit.

I had nothing less of a fantastic experience. The food was simply amazing and the staff was really lovely and professional. I don't eat any meat, but there was so much to choose from here. The menu is well balanced for all sorts of guests. I think I'd have to come back many times to try everything. Tonight, I had eggplant parmigiano... classic and tasty. The pastas for the day (week?) looked great, but I had to go for the seafood stew. It was simple but delicious, especially the squid was perfect. A good grappa to finish made it a truly perfect meal. I highly recommend, but be sure to make a reservation.

Visiting this restaurant was an absolute pleasure. We felt as if we were in Italy, both in terms of atmosphere and food. Together with friends, we ordered appetizers: bread, provolone, and Pate al Oporto – all surprisingly exquisite. Next came: Spaghetti Vesubio, Tagliatelle alla Bolognese, Saccottini di pera al gorgonzola, cuttlefish Ravioli (outstanding!), and an excellent pasta with artichoke cream. The dishes were exceptionally fresh and perfectly balanced. Everyone loved them! For dessert, we chose cassata and the best tiramisu I have ever had! Warm regards to the entire staff, who made our time even more enjoyable! A well-deserved (!) 5 stars!

Our experience in this restaurant was absolutely superb. The pasta with foie and caramelised onions was delicious and so was the vongole. The service was second to none and atmosphere was perfect. We will be coming again for sure.

We came here for holiday from London and this is honestly the best Italian restaurant we’ve ever eaten at! The Provolone alla Pizzaiola and the tiramisu were absolute masterpieces! Full of flavour and beautifully done, they completely wowed us. The atmosphere was warm and authentic, making us feel right at home, and the service was just as impressive. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. A real gem, highly recommend! Can’t fault one one thing!
