Bruschetta with tamato we ordered didn't look good and didn't taste good.. Literally chopped up tomatoes on top of soggy bread. Ordered spaghetti with meatball and one with shrimp.. Meatball wasn't bad.. Shrimp one had decent taste to it but nothing I can't get at home.. So over all I was very sad. Not to mention one waiter running the entire floor so service was lacking. Well at least big bottle of water was only 3 euro..

They took the order and delivered the food on a timely manner but as the night got busier they were less attentive to us.

Our party was the first at the restaurant so service was good. The ambiance is also very nice. The menu offers plenty of appetizers, salads, pastas, pizzas and entrees. I started with the Greek salad and it was a very big salad. It had lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and feta cheese. For my entree I had the ravioli stuffed with pears and truffles. It was the best ravioli I have ever had in my life. For dessert, I opted for the Gelato assortment. It was three scoops of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry. The perfect ending to a fabulous lunch. My husband had the linguine with shrimp. His dish was also a nice size portion and very tasty. He had the apple tart for dessert and it looked beautiful. Other diners in my group had the risotto, penne pasta, mussels, pizza, chicken, steak and grilled vegetables. Everything was good.

At the end of the meal, our total bill was €129, which already included a €10 service fee. However, one of the staff members told us that if we wanted to leave a tip, we should let him know so he could add it to the card payment. I asked whether the service fee was not already included, and he said that it was "more like a tax," encouraging us to add an additional tip. Because of the situation, we ended up adding another €10 as a tip. Later, we found out that in Italy, when a service fee is already included, tipping is not mandatory. It was disappointing to feel pressured to tip again on top of the service charge. Unfortunately, the way the bill was handled left a negative impression and affected our overall experience. Would not return, wouldn't recommend you can visit plenty other restaurants with better food that don't scam tourists

The checkered tablecloths and fridges along the wall stocked with drinks and desserts make you feel like you're at someone's home. I regret choosing a pizza without cheese, the spicy tomato-roquette house special. It was thin like the salted rosemary focaccia bread appetizer we all shared, but with a kicky tomato sauce. And it was sufficiently spicy, with enough roquette to make you feel like you were getting your daily intake of greens, but it would have been better with dabs of mozzarella to help the greenery stick and even out the spice. My fiancé ordered the ham and mushroom pizza, always a safe choice, and it was good. Made better by the hot oil, and with another handful of mushrooms, I helped him eat it to make up for the lack of cheese on mine. It was a struggle to finish the pizzas after starting with the focaccia--we were so hungry when we sat down and the pizzas took so long that we scarfed those down with a chewy white flavorless cheese. In retrospect, this carb-loading was a regrettable decision: the pizzas were sizeable enough on their own. We decided to forego dessert here, opting instead for a gelato down the street.
