    Both the pasta and pizza are exceptional, and they were served very hot that shows they have high standard.

    Friendly staff. Our server is great and is attentive to our needs. We had the brunch and my friends loved their food. I am vegan, though there’s not much choice in the menu but they gladly made me a vegan spaghetti and it was perfect! This is my second visit in this restaurant and it’s always a lovely experience each time. Definitely recommended.

    Absolutely loved the experience. It was our first time dining but wont be the last. Loved the food, every dish was excellent , only ice cream sandwich was a miss, didn't work its magic for us. Tiramisu, fantastic, pizzas 🍕 excellent, burrata farfalle delighful, meatballs amazing , negronis, coffee all were lovely and we had a great time . I must commend on service though, food was great, yes, but the service was just top notch. Both ladies working the room, managers I believe and serving were attentive , excellent, profesional and super efficient. Kudos for service. 👍 I had a spill on my shirt, she went above and beyond to get soda water and tide Pen? This is what service should be all about. Thank you so much who served our table of 5 , forgot to ask your name. You were fantástic.
