“ I tried this place the other night and while food was tasty, bruschetta size was quite small, literally bite size, and the seafood risotto had tiny sized prawns. Not cheap, either. Took that away and paid 21 euro. If I had it in the restaurant would have paid more. Place was also empty. ”
“ Such a great experience! The atmosphere is very traditional and super pleasant, making you feel right at home. Service was excellent — very friendly and attentive staff. And the food… absolutely outstanding! The Cacio e Pepe was perfect, one of the best we’ve had, and the pizzas were exceptional. Highly recommended! ”
“ Very very good food! Loved the gamberi with pistachio. Also pizza with pistachio was amazing. Recommend to all. ”
“ I ordered the **Calamarata Pesto Norma, Polpito (grilled octopus), and Anchovies Pizza**. While there were some enjoyable elements, a few issues kept the meal from being outstanding. The **Calamarata Pesto Norma** had great flavor—the pasta was perfectly al dente, and the pesto sauce was rich and aromatic. However, the calamari was a bit **chewy**, and the sauce leaned **too salty**, which slightly overpowered the dish. The **Polpito (grilled octopus)** was clearly **fresh**, but it was **underseasoned and chewy**, likely because it wasn’t tenderized enough before cooking. A squeeze of **lemon** or a brighter dressing would have helped balance the smokiness. The **Anchovies Pizza** was the strongest dish—thin, crispy crust with a bold, briny flavor from the anchovies. If you love salty, umami-rich pizza, this is a solid choice. **Service** was attentive, and the atmosphere was pleasant, but the execution on some dishes could be improved. Would I return? Maybe, but I’d try different dishes next time. ”
“ Great place to eat, the atmosphere is amazing and the food is good. A bit pricey but if you’re not on a tight budget it is worth it. The service was particularly nice as well. Would highly recommend if you are looking for someplace calm and friendly. ”
