“ Dinner with IT friends. Amazing service and service contact. Good timing to serve. Burata and tomato with excellent taste. Fresh and tasty fish and grilled vegetable. Familial atmosphere. ”
“ Very good Italian restaurant family run. ”
“ Absolutely amazing food. We ordered pizza 4 fromages and spaghetti frutti di mare and I can tell that the portions are very big, the quality is excellent and the taste... better than restaurants in Italy! ”
“ As mention by another reviewer, this place should be much busier. Food was exceptional, decent priced and portion, we had pasta and pizza, veal and cream of tomato soup, very very good. Even though they don't speak English but we managed to order some great food. ”
“ Fantastic and authentic tasting Italian food! The pasta were delicious, salmon was tasty and fresh and the pizzas were excellent, traditionally oven baked. We finished our meal with a pana cotta that was amazing too! Thoroughly enjoyed our meal! ”
“ The place feels very cosy, the personnel is very nice and pleasant. I only take pizza to-go and I’ve never been disappointed by the quality of the ingredients, the many choices of pizza and the dough. The only negative point I have is that the “pizzaiolo” is not that sociable and he prefers to work instead of talking with the clients (or with me at least). For the future, I’d suggest to use different kinds of pizza dough and try to present a Neapolitan pizza ”
“ This is a twenty years long love story. Sicilian food at its best. Great service. A family run place. Go for it. Don't even hesitate. Their pasta alla Norma is better than the one you will eat in Sicilia. Try them out ”
“ Located in the African part of town, this Italian restaurant hit the spot for pizza and pasta cravings. The pizzas are hand-made and cooked in a brick oven. We would go back again! ”
