I had a nice lunch by myself at this restaurant, I definitely felt that it was actually extremely cozy! I had the grilled meatballs and they were delicious, the portion is definitely more than enough, especially with the free bread they give you plus olives. it's in a nice location along the street. That's not crazy busy compared to some of the other streets in the area so it can be quite relaxing, and it offers free Wi-Fi. The service is very good to and in fact when I tried to tip the waiter more, he said that it was way too much tip and refused it completely. It's definitely a trustworthy place where you don't have to feel like they will try to take advantage of you because you're a tourist 100% would return here just because of the food and service of the waiter making me feel extremely cared for not just as if I'm there for a transaction. Definitely recommend.
