The food was exquisite. So special and I can say without a doubt I have never had anything like this before. The service was amazing (except one small detail - see bellow), specially the Italian woman, super nice and passionate. The main host/owner was also very friendly and happy to have us. The only minus I could say; she did not treat us like the others customers. I asked twice for a table next to the window and she did not respond to it. She (unfortunately) lied about why that table was not good and thus our table (without a view and against the wall) was better. 15 min later a couple was placed there and they were “welcomed back”. I worked in hospitality and explaining to people why a table is reserved (for special reasons) is not a big deal. I could’ve understood. However, the way it was done, it felt that we did not deserve our place even though we paid the same amount (or even more) as that “regular” couple…

Love the place: great food, great staff, great concept. I like that they offer a vegetarian menu - that’s still something you usually have to ask for... the seasonality was great, quality of food great and taste superior. Prices are totally appropriate. Will come back!
