    Basement tables

    This was amazing, both me and my wife rated it a five. Pasta with seafood was perfect, Spaghetti allo scoglio, this is so delicate and robust all at the same time. My wife asked for my bread to eat the last drop of her sauce :), with a bountiful amount of seafood!! And the goulash! Traditional old Bohemian beef goulash served with bread dumplings, the sauce was peppery and full of a mouth watering taste of red wine. When we return to Prague from Vienna next week, we plan on a return trip to this magnificent find. ENJOY!!!

    I really didn't *want* to eat at an Italian restaurant in the middle of Prague, but the menu actually had a good mix of Italian and Czech food items, so we decided to stop. We picked a small table towards the back, as far away from the large groups as we could get, while still being in the dining room. The waiter was at our table immediately, handing over the menu and asking our drink order. I was tired of "bright" beers by that point, and wanted something not a pilsner. I saw they offered a "dark" beer, so I ordered a large one of those. My husband wanted the waiter to recommend something, which ended up being the bright beer. The beers came out quickly, and once they were delivered, we put in our orders. I went with the roasted duck plate, and my husband went balls out with the many-meats plate (I think they called it something more eloquent, but it's basically a plate piled high with several different meats). The restaurant was cool and comfortable, and though it was full - there were at least three large groups dining there at the same time - it never got too terribly loud. I enjoyed the dark beer immensely - it was almost a Guinness, but not quite. It was missing the smokiness that always seems to assault my senses. My husband was disappointed with the light beer, and vowed to order a dark one once he finished it. When the food was delivered, I was glad I went with my plate. The many-meats place just looked insane, whereas my plate looked manageable. The duck had some really good flavor, but there wasn't a whole lot of meat on it. I'm not usually a fan of duck, to be honest, but I'd seen it on several other menus under the "local flavor" sections, so I figured I'd give it a try. It was good, but not exactly filling. My husband, meanwhile, was busy digging in to his meat plate. It came with some spinach gnocchi and sauerkraut, along with some duck, a stuffed chicken breast, sausage and pickled cabbage. He seemed to love it - it was hard to get an answer out of him while he was chewing. I did enjoy dining here. The waiter was super friendly and smiled all the time, which was nice. The food was decent and the beer was cool and refreshing. We'd probably go back, the next time we visit the city.

    I was only visiting Prague for a brief afternoon and looking for some traditional Czech food. I already did my research beforehand, so after I identified the dishes I wished to try on the menu, I happily went inside. I wasn't disappointed. The portion of the food was pretty big. The pork knuckles was very tender and flavorful inside. My friend ordered roast duck, which was decent. At the end of meal, the waiter sighed when he looked at our plates and saw the meat we left there. However I was pretty sure we had already eaten so much more than usual:) I didn't have a chance to try other restaurants in Prague, but overall I was satisfied with my only food experience here.

    Reputed Italian restaurant, tucked away near the Charles bridge in a side street. Did not disappoint, to use an understatement.

    Food (appetizers) was very fresh and locally sourced. Service was fast and friendly. Beer on tap is…read morealso very fresh so enjoy the best Pilsner Urquell in town. This is a great place to enjoy with a group. Unlike the pubs in other countries, no tv or music so don't expect this to be a sports bar.

    Wow this place is busy around dinner time, but it turns over pretty quick! If you're looking for a…read morequiet intimate meal for two, this is most certainly not the place to go. If you are looking for a very lively place that seats about thirteen hundred guests per day and has twelve tanks of beer, and the beer hall vibe then this spot is most certainly for you. Close to the Old Town square it is not at all touristy, the service is good and the prices are very fair for what you get. K ordered the Goulash, and I had the Chicken Schnitzel along with a beetroot salad to share. The food was plentiful and very good, especially the goulash gravy which was a deep colour that had amazing flavour. The schnitzel was not as big as the plate, but I couldn't finish it. K had a glass of wine and I a beer for about $64 CDN, which is good in Prague. Our only quibble was that the beetroot salad turned into a cabbage salad with horseradish. It was also good, but not what we ordered. We would most certainly come back and endure the half hour wait to experience and enjoy what is a somewhat unique European offering.
