Because the space is small, you absolutely have to make a reservation. I went on a Sunday afternoon, almost right when they opened, and I didn't have a reservation. They offered me a table outside. The table still had cigarette dust on it. The menu is short but representative of Italian cuisine. I think I ordered the wrong thing because I didn't find it spectacular. My Italian colleague advised that the Roman dishes are the best. If you need authentic Italian food in Groningen, go to Gustatio. If you go to Gustatio, make a reservation!

Everything was well prepared, especially my eggplant and zucchini pizza, and my wife loved her tuna steak. The rest of our party raved about their entrees.

My husband had a mix pasta platter and my favorite was the truffle infused mushroom ravioli. The aroma of the truffle wafted across the table and I just had to have a bite. The tiramisu was excellent too - not too sweet, dry or soggy. Perfect! Service was exceptional. Really welcoming and warm. The staff were just lovely. The owner also came over for a nice little chat. Finished our dinner with a shot of delicious limoncello and iced frangelico, compliments of the house. We will definitely come back to this restaurant and highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates great food and service.

We ended up having a gorgeous mixed platter as appetizer that had fresh scampi, buffalo mozzarella and a bunch of other smashing dishes. I had lamb chops which were cooked to perfection and my wife enjoyed a pasta with boar ragu. We finished of with another plate to share sampling some of their desserts which was nothing short of amazing. What a gem. I will definately come back when in Bremen again!!
