This is easily the best restaurant in Istanbul. Similar to other reviewers, I was also getting…read moretired of eating Turkish food. We'd been in the country for 5 months at a geology field camp and had been eating essentially different variations of the same meal every single day. Don't get me started on breakfast. I can appreciate Turkish food, I can, but coming here made the whole trip worth it. This is probably the only meal I would ever consider an actual experience. We casually walk into the owner's house, up past the third floor where the kitchen is, and then into the fourth floor where the main seating area is. If you don't like cats I wouldn't bother coming, because they are the waitstaff and are very happy to greet you immediately. We sit down and cool off before he informs us that the terrace is shaded and that we should go up there before we start placing our orders. Amazing view with fantastic breezes to cool you off. He begins telling you about his life, his trips through Italy, everything that's going on in Turkey, how life has changed and even showed us his amazing meteorite once he learned we were geologists. Anyways, we ordered a squash/zucchini dish, and he returned with a green bean and something I couldn't even begin to describe. Everything had such wonderful depths of flavor. I ended up ordering the Spaghetti Bolognese and my girlfriend got the Alfredo (asked to be Americanized with chicken in it). I'm not joking when I tell you that these were the most filling and satisfying dishes we'd had over the last month. So much flavor and they really energized us when we finally got done with them. You've heard that people have had tears from having such good food, or being deprived for so long of something they love, well that was exactly us. I never knew that olive oil could taste so amazing. If we do come back to Turkey at some point, no matter where in the country we go, I will absolutely be making a stop by here again. Without a doubt. Thank you very much for the amazing time and amazing food

What's up people ?…read more Here's brand new review of resturant which I usually head there whether it is summer or winter. It is located one of most popular street around Caddebostan which has been called as ''Pubs Street'' anyway. Well I've been coming that Restaurant maybe for 10 years it could be less or more I'm not pretty sure about it. I've to admit that those guys are very good at producing Pizza *hands down* . Not exclusively Pizza though, You may be delighted while you got some fishes or lasagne. I assure you that, you'll like it whatever you'll place order at every meals of that restaurant. If we mention the '' Garlic Bread'' which is not consisted bread by the way. Because They'd rather to use pizza dough than bread therefore. They're just little bit ahead of their competitors at that area. Also there's lots of wine that I recommend you to get it. Verdict: I think that resturant really awesome I pointed that resturant 8.5 out of 10. Benefits: Extremely delicious meals, inmate waiters , not crowded ( in exception of weekend) , Drawbacks: Little bit old fashioned, same design since 10 years, chair might hurt your flesh... I hope that review will help you out guys, Don't forget to like my that review as well as the other ones. Until the next time.....

It seems to me that their previous job was Turkish pide and they started a pizza place because it is popular right now. They don't serve alcohol and you can't find any pork products here. If you are looking for a quick bite, go to Pizza2Go or if you want to have some wine with it go to Beppe Pizzeria. They are both within a walking distance.
