"In general it is good. But the 'filet' is too expensive compared to size and quality. The grill mark showed it was baked on one side only. And therefore to ' gray' / well done, not evenly baked. < 200 gram for 20 euro....... accomplished with 2 side dishes it was 34 euro for a main course and that is strange compared with a very good risotto di mare with lots of fish ( I counted 5 different, clamps, shrimp etc) Wine is great and also the espresso. Desert was disappointing. No crema Catalana, not tiramisu available, Only 1 house made desert left."

"Best in the area. Nice ambiance. Many table side preperations. We ordered the area bass, it was deboned next to the table. We also ordered the 4 cheese pizza, which was great. Thin crust, and plenty of cheese. Waiter was great. Didn't speak English, but we managed to communicate."

"Authentic nice place. If you want to sit outside you should make a reservation. We are here the second time, on a Thursday. Much less people so we got a table in the garden. Very nice staff, delicious food. Good wine as well."

"Enjoyed our meals and service but got a shock when paying. Our party of 5 adults and 2 children (18 month old and 3 yr old) we got charged 7euro a head extra to meals etc as a service charge. It was unexpected and felt that charging a service fee for the small children was excessive. So all up an extra 49 euro in unexpected service charges, there was no warning of this charge. Also it was a bit chilly sitting outside with no outdoor heating provided."
