We are currently trying out an Italian cuisine that was recommended by the local community as a higher-scale restaurant.

The restaurant has its own unique atmosphere and brings a touch of Italy to your dining experience.

The service was excellent, and the food was equally impressive, particularly the pizza, which was simply outstanding.

However, it is important to note that the portions are quite large, so it is advisable to order wisely.

Despite the overall positive experience, I believe there may be even better Italian restaurants out there.

An Istanbul classic for decades. Service is excellent. Do expect above average prices. Especially for drinks.

A perfect ambience, a caring and sympathetic team, delicious food, a world-famous place to hear the only thing to say is that it deserves five stars.

Good place to have a dinner. Definitely order the tartare and the truffle pasta. Quite crowded so didn’t want to take a picture of the room but gorgeous ambiance.

For the brand and the perceived quality of the food is not advertised correctly. Even from a local food restaurant or food truck you can receive a better taste.

The dishes were not fresh. Nothing was made freshly, it had no taste.
Extremely expensive for the quality of food.

The best part we liked and were impressed was the starters that were given in the beginning as a gesture.

The decor, ambiance is outdated. The decor is suitable for a beach side but not for the brand that is being advertised.

The staff was good, the service was great. We were impressed that the staff knew English so well.

Reservations are recommended.
Vale is 100 Turkish Liras.

Unfortunately, we did not receive what we expected. We both had this restaurant to try on our trip and were extremely dissatisfied.
