El lugar es agradable y tranquilo; la comida tiene buena presentación, aunque el sabor es bastante normal, lo más resaltante a nuestro parecer fue la pizza y su atención.

Me gustó mucho. La comida fue muy buena y el servicio excelente. Comimos pasta, lasaña y pizza. Todo muy rico. El precio es elevado pero para una ocasión especial vale la pena.

Posto delizioso, arredamento ricercato e curato dalla mise en place agli accessori, siamo stati in compagnia a fare colazione e siamo rimasti piacevolmente colpiti. Buona scelta dal menù, service attento, ben preparato e molto cortese. Unico neo gli innumerevoli errori nel menù, parole tradotte male che in un locale di livello non ci si aspetta. 5 stelle di incoraggiamento per il grosso lavoro che è stato fatto, ma attenzione perché molto spesso i particolari fanno la differenza.

La comida no tiene nada diferente a otros lugares, pero eso no demerita el sabor, todo está súper rico y desde la recepción son muy amables. Las pizzas son buenazas. Teníamos una reservación que se había hecho vía Google y ellos no la tenían en su registro, pero había lugar
