What Guests Say
Guestbook
“ They must have changed management because we paid very affordable prices and the staff was very friendly to us. Around €6 for a Macchiato, flat white coffee, doughnut, canoli and a bomboloni! Happy to recommend them! ”
“ For a breakfast/supper its okay. I have no idea what about eating lunch/dinner. We ordered foccacia, the waiter brought it to our table. It was a little oily but not bad, couldn't eat that every day but once or twice t's a good option. The atmosphere wasn't really great. ”
“ Such an enjoyable dinner, party of 2 around 7:30 pm on a Monday night, no reservations, about a 10-15 minute wait, pleasant and after a while the host offered a glass of wine (not comped but appreciated), the atmosphere was fun, busy but not crowded, we sat facing bar on the sidewalk in barstools so lots of action to view, food was so good, shared the onion tart ( imagine french onion soup in tart form, unexpected but delicious) and we shared the roasted chicken, perfect portions for 2, the chicken was so good and sat on top of plenty of veggies/baby potatoes, lively crowd, good service and lots of nearby restaurants so a happening block. Very inexpensive for what you get. Highly recommend! ”
