I mean, urine. Sorry, to be so crude, but honestly, it smelt like a toilet. Not a very conducive atmosphere for drinking or eating I'd say. The times I've been here, it depends very much on who you're with what kind of service you get. I'm getting the sense that they're very snobbish, something I don't like in my restaurants at all. There have been times when I was not with someone from the Eindhoven inner circle, that I'd have to wait for a good 15 minutes before someone brought me a menu. This, to me, is unacceptable. When I sit down to have a drink, I'm thirsty. When there are two other people on your terrace, you're just busy doing anything but your job. As I am Dutch (which is not always immediately apparent since I tend to have English conversation partners) I can overhear the staff when they think I can't ... let's just say I overheard some comments about our table that made me not want to return. I've been here with someone who was a regular and my experience that time was markedly different. Our table was ready, the waiting was prompt, the food was delicious, ... but .. still, I want the service to be like that even when I'm not your most important customer. I guess, I just get very annoyed at snobbery, and this place certainly can have a foul attitude!

Carpaccio Classico is my goto starter here, but you should also be aware that they have alternate versions to choose from. Another good choice is Burrata, but you won't find it on the menu. Very similar to insalata caprese, except it is served with a fresh Italian cheese made from mozzarella and cream. Very rich and creamy - but share this with someone, it's a lot for one person. My three favorite dishes to order here for a main entrée are spaghetti alla carbonara, spaghetti alla bolognese and penne alla panna e prosciutto (pieces of ham in a cream sauce). They are all perfect portions and taste amazing. All meals come with bread and herbed butter. Limoncello makes an appearance every now and then sure dinner. The cappuccino here is also very good. Service is top-notch and with the dim lighting the atmosphere here is romantic and a little classy. Definitely worth a visit if you are looking for some good Italian at a really nice place.

Excellent antipasto platter and pasta dishes. The pizza was a nice surprise and very tasty. A buddy and I split one for an appetizer and it was the perfect portion.

On my visit I met up with some colleagues for dinner and we decided to go for the sharing approach. There are a lot of nice menu options to choose from if you go this route, so get out there and explore! Definitely start with the antipasti board. It contains a nice selection of different salamis and prosciutto ,as well as several different types of cheeses - including one that is spicy and another that is "drunken" (infused with wine). It also includes some baby pickles and Mediterranean vegetables. Delicious! We also tried the beef tenderloin with mushrooms and a red wine sauce for dipping. Cooked perfectly, these little cuts of beef almost dissolve in your mouth. The lamb chops are also a very good choice and come with tzatziki and tomato. Finally, be sure to try the beef stew - it tasted amazing. We added a small salad and fries to nibble on while we enjoyed all these dishes. For dessert, I had the chocolate cake/mousse/ice cream combo. If you are a chocolate lover then this is your choice for dessert. You won't be disappointed. Service was good - our server was nice and had our food and wine out pretty quickly. My only recommendation to them is to improve on their cocktail selection. They promote a bar that offers wine, specialty beers and liqueurs - but when I asked about cocktails they only had Mojitos to offer me. Fortunately, I love Mojitos so it was a win - but for someone who is seeking something different they may be disappointed. Maybe this is something that will improve over time. Overall, a really nice experience. I love the relaxed atmosphere here and the food is very good. I highly recommend it!

The nice part of this restaurant is the warm Italian welcome you get the second you enter the restaurant.

I liked the real Italian flair :) Well worth a visit, even if it's a bit expensive.
