The food was absolutely delightful! I had such a wonderful time here, and everything I ordered was delicious. You really should check it out.
The food was delicious. Heros and Lentiana were really kind and served us in the best way possible . Also, Jaary and Sabrina made wonderful cocktails. Overall it was great and I would definitely visit again :)
A gem run by a family from Puglia. Simple philosophy: great ingredients, honest cooking and it shows. We’ve visited several times and highlights include the parma and mozzarella di bufala, an outstanding parmigiana di melanzane, a surprisingly excellent arrabbiata, and a great tagliata di manzo. Pizza is good too, but go for a dish if you have to choose. We really liked Pistacchiarella. Cosy but quite dark inside in the evening — there’s a small terrace outside if you prefer.
The service and ambience were really good. But the food was just average. We ordered focaccia and fries as starters, a pasta, a pizza as a main course, and a tiramisu. Pasta tasted like Barilla pasta or any random supermarket pasta. I understand you don't do your own pasta, but you can use a better brand. The meat in the pasta was mentioned as "slow-cooked," but it wasn't soft enough. Pizza was nice but nothing extraordinary. It was plain. Maybe you can roast the pistachios or add an acidic ingredient so it changes the taste a bit. Tiramisu was more like a mousse rather than a tiramisu.
We had a truly wonderful and satisfying dinner here! I visited with a close friend who had traveled from abroad to see me, and the team kindly prepared a surprise plate for her, which made the evening even more special. Both the food and the service were outstanding. The truffle pizza was incredibly rich and indulgent — so melty and flavorful it almost felt drinkable. The slow-cooked lamb on the bone was perfectly tender, falling apart effortlessly, and we finished it in no time. I will definitely be back! Thank you for such a beautiful evening filled with exceptional food and warm, thoughtful service!
