Genuinely cool place. It’s huge, but it is divided into several different rooms and you can even peek into the prep kitchen from the upper level!
We sat at the bar to eat, the service was a bit clumsy and slow but they were so kind that they totally made up for it!
The food was great. My carbonara was a bit rushed, we could taste the flour and it was a bit watery/runny. The rest was amazing though!

Newly open Italian restaurant at the city centre. The entrée was good, the pasta was so so. The staff was friendly.

Unfortunately, there was a lot of waiting time. When we arrived, we had to wait to be seated as only one hostess allowed to do the job even though a lot of free staff in the restaurant.

Once seated, we had to wait again for the menu. Then waited again for the staff to take order.  More waiting to get the drinks.  After the entrée, waiting a bit long before the next food arrives.

When time to pay, another waiting for the bills. Finally get the bills and still have to wait for the staff to get the machine.

The place was good but the staff was inefficient and too much unnecessary waiting.
