The atmosphere of this place is amazing. You will need to book, especially if it's a weekend. Had read reviews and recommendations about this place and did not disappoint. It's in the main square downstairs. I requested a table by the piano, and thats where we were . They have live music on at a certain time, and to be fair, she was fantastic. See the videos. The whole place looks like an underground cave, yet all little up just felt warm , unique, and special. We all loved it.  Service was good, and staff were smiling and friendly, which we had not seen a lot of in Krakow. Had some great wines and amazing cocktails. The food was good. My only issue was the pasta I ordered didn't state it had onions in, so in part, I should have checked but enjoyed everything else .Would highly recommend for a date night but was also family friendly .

The atmosphere is very nice, they are playing live music after 8 pm. Very important to mentioned that I reserved 2 weeks before. It’s kindly hard to find a table there. Food is ok. I recommend for live music lovers. 🫶🏻

Loved it!!! Our waiter was very nice and a great help with recommendations. The atmosphere with the music is amazing and we had a great time! We had the fried dumplings as appetizers and the chicken and ribs as main. The meat almost fell of the bone and was so tender! Just the right portions as well (not to big but definitely not small). The apple crumble was clearly self made and a fantastic desert. Would definitely recommend this place for dinner!

Really nice place with live entertainment every evening, we visited at 8pm and there was a pianist and a singer which was lovely.

We had 2 courses, the first course came quite quickly but then there was a 90minute wait for our main meal. The food was nice but not worth the wait.

Excellent place, really cool there is even a piano inside the restaurant and it's regularly played. The food was very good. Goat cheese salad and it was warmed and included beetroot as well. The tenderloin was well done, as it could be. It was even a bit late to arrive and the waitress asked if I wanted anything else in the meantime. She was so friendly and polite, I couldn't not be patient. But it arrived and was quite good. I was even given a voucher for a free drink the next time I order food. So, I'm definitely going back.
