A decent Italian restaurant with a good menu, but relatively few options if you don’t want pasta. We counted seven pasta dishes, three meat dishes and three fish dishes. There are three desserts. The wine menu is quite limited, as is the selection of beers. The staff is friendly. When we were there they kept the front door open and windows open in the kitchen which made it very cold - we had to wear our jackets because of the ice cold draft. The restaurant is quite small so we recommend reserving a table. A decent Italian dining experience in a city that has a tremendous offering of upscale Italian restaurants.

This place was better than I expected. Simple and small menu which means the stuff on the menu should or must be good, and it was! The food was delicious from the beginning to the start. We tried quite a few dishes on the card, and none of them disappointed. Service was good as well. Wine combined well also. I will defintely be Coming back to try the rest of the menu!

Had a great pizza packed with veggies. The waiter was really friendly and explained stuff to my friend who doesn't speak any German. Then we got a FREE bruschetta. Five stars for friendliness, authenticity, and delicious food!

Very good and atencious service!! The restaurant is cozy and quiet, so one can enjoy his/hera meal nicely. I was there earlier today with a friend for lunch. The lunch menu has very good prices, and surprisingly it included a starter, bread and a tasty soup of vegetables. I had spaghettini with mushrooms and dried tomatoes and it was delicious!!! Today I had a 5 stars experience! Thank you!
