“ A restaurant with a different, colorful, welcoming atmosphere, impeccable service, opening hours for those who like to eat late, pet friendly - applause! - and delicious food. My husband and I opted for individual dishes which were Classic Parmigiana and a Capresiana pasta. Everything was wonderful!! ”
“ My review is based on my experience with dinner and begins with the wonderful atmosphere, full of antiques and true relics, which includes a table with a "Super Nintendo" available. As for the service, it was impeccable with prepared and very friendly staff. As for the meals, we were served a very good starter, a cannelloni accompanied by steak and a tortei with sauteed shrimp in paparica, both perfect, accompanied by a house tea served in a Schmidt china teapot. To finish off the meal, we were served a cheesecake with incredible strawberry sauce. Do I recommend it? Definitely! I will be back to try the other dishes. ”
“ A lovely place. Filled with what a traditional home from the 90s would have. CDs, vinyls, posters, as well as stickers and pre internet era and italian references. They even had a functional SNES with super mario world. The staff was very friendly and nice, the service was excellent and timely. A shop is included as well where you can buy desserts and take with you or eat on the spot. As for the food itself, we ordered pasta platters. Both the shrimp pasta as well as the pappa luigi were very well prepared, rich with flavor, and had generous portions. The meat and shrimp were properly cooked and pleasant to eat. Each order came with a big piece of cheese as well as a cheese grater so you coukd add as much cheese as you would prefer to. The cheese is also of high quality and i ended up adding almost all of it and eating the final bit. We had pink guarana and pink lemonade for drinks and both were enjoyable to drink. A bit on the expensive side compared to other local places, but definitely worth it and highly recommended. ”
“ The staff is very friendly and prepared. Any choice you make is a great choice. The dishes are well-served, well-made and delicious, as well as well-presented. The place is calm, with background music and lighting that conveys tranquility. I love the decor of the place, each object is a journey through time. And the bathroom is very fun, with news and music playing all the time. ”
“ I loved the experience! We ordered Burrata as a starter, Parmigiana as a main course and we had a lot of desserts, it was hard to choose just one! Everything was delicious. Luciana told us that everything is homemade by them, from the pasta to the mascarpone in the tiramisu. Highly recommended ”
