"Great experience. I order a pizza to go, and while we were outside waiting, the waiter offer us two glasses of prosecco. Very nice gesture from their side, this is how you make people return to your place and recommend it. The pizza was ready, we went to a park to enjoy it, and it was delicious. This is definitely a place to return."

"Just had very late dinner. Two of us had different traditional Italian pasta dishes (one meat, one vegetarian) and the best pannacotta you can get. Staff and kitchen staff were lovely. Great service. I’m not a novice and travel extensively, believe me this place is very simple but extremely good."

"The food was wonderful, especially the panna cotta — the best I’ve ever had in my life. The service was very kind and attentive. At the end, we were treated to a delicious liqueur on the house. I highly recommend this restaurant."

"Lovely ragu tortellini but let’s be honest - the main star of the show was the traditional green lasagne. This tasted so delicious and wholesome. We ordered a second serving of it! Best I’ve ever had in my life. Wonderful service, and we basically had the whole place to ourselves, peacefully. Such great prices too, even more so for the quality. Highly recommended for anyone who can walk 15 mins outside the main central area. I will be thinking about this lasagne for a long time!"
