Hands down the best pasta I've ever had, food was unbelievable, light and filling, I could have eaten multiple courses. The candle lit, wine filled room gave amazing vibes. The dessert was perfect given the allergies we have and the restaurant was very accommodating to our allergies.  Couldn't recommend it enough.

Good carbonara, awesome caprese. Recommendable :) Bit expensive, corpeta was 4€ per person. but it's a touristy place, so I'm happy that I find somewhere to have good food at least.

We had a steak. It was delicious but it was hard for me to chew. Wine was good. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Loved the experience. We went in for the dinner and had to wait around 10 minutes outside to be seated. I recommend visiting.

This place is fantastic. The service was wonderful as was the atmosphere. We had the bruschetta, truffle pasta, soup and mushroom pasta. The tiramisu was simply amazing! Everything was delicious! We took our time eating and chatting. We were never rushed or made to feel like we had to go. I highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area.
