My experiments with the Italian cuisines continue. Not sure what to have for dinner on a Friday…read moreevening, finding this place was complete serendipity! I was greeted by a 32-teeth (broadest grin) welcome who directed me to a single table. The place seemed to a preferred family hangout place occupied by mostly middle aged people. Decor was okay nothing that really stood out both in a positive or negative way. A cursory glance at the menu told me that the place wasn't the cheapest option for Italian food. I was hungry and didn't bother the starters section. My cruising finger stopped Tagliatelle Arrabita with Pollo momentarily - arabita black olives chicken and tomato sauce. Nah not tomato! When I told my predicament to the waiter, she assured that they can move it to cheese sauce :-) The service took its time but the password free wifi kept me busy. The food was worth the wait. The red chillies gave the pasta the otherwise smooth creamy pasta a slightly bitter-tangy taste. I think I took half the time to finish the pasta as compared to the wait. Ordered a Tiramisu which was decent in taste but was made average if you think about the price you paid for it. To summarise, would rate it higher than average experience but not exceptional in terms of value for money and effort.

W lecie, w restauracji jest przez to bardzo gorąco, że trudno wytrzymać, a zimą, po powrocie z Vilano, trzeba wietrzyć ubrania, bo śmierdzą, jak po wizycie w garkuchni. Faktycznie bywają tam znane osoby (głównie znane stąd, że są znane), ale można touznać za mały mankament. Rekompensuje go jedzenie, które jest bardzo smaczne. Niestety drogie, a porcje nie są zbyt duże. Ale pizza w Vilano, jest jedna z najlepszych jaką jadłem w Polsce.

Standard tip for every tourist - when in doubt, choose Italian restaurant.

Pizza dough is prepared and baked on premises, of course, and it does not disappoint. Bruschetta is a nice choice for a lunch and pasta is present as well in every necessary form.

They don't use the cheap ingredients and always are busy. Pizza is fantastic. Pasta simply awesome. I certainly recommend when you're in south part of Warsaw - just keep in mind to book few days in advance. Or call and order to pick up.
