The food was good- pasta dishes were better than average, mussels were slightly better than average and pizza was average. My highlight of the meal was the rum-infused Grzaniec (hot wine). That stuff was awesome. The food came out quickly and the service was friendly. I would visit again!

We truly enjoyed every single item that we ordered. The house made bread was so delicious. If you choose to get seated downstairs you will walk right past where they make their home made pasta which is so cool to see. It has a really cute and cozy ambiance. Overall this modern Italian establishment was amazing and if we have time we may just go back for more menu items

Mat least four nationalities were present. The salads were good and pasta dishes prepared well. The serving sizes were adequate and not overwhelming that can occur in some places. They appeared to have a wide selection of wines and other drinks, although most were drinking beer, as it is, after all, Prague. The ambience was perfect for an established Italian restaurant with more waiters than people, when we arrived and busy, busy waiters when we left for our hotel.

Fantastic food and service! Generous portions…read more Our waiter was friendly and pleasant from the moment we stepped into the door. Our first experience since having been in Germany for a week where we didn't feel alienated for not being able to speak German beyond the basics. He immediately brought over English menus without us asking and was happy to speak in English with us. Beyond that, the food is delicious and it's the first place I've been to where I thought to myself "I want to go back!" I ordered a spritz, Caesar salad, and bolognese. The salad was large enough for me to share with 2 others. And I am currently eating my bolognese takeaway the day after. It's so good it inspired me to leave a positive review.

Super authentic." which may be true for the person who wrote that. But: nice food decently priced, I might go again when in the area. Would I drive a 30+ min detour just to dine here (mandatory in my ranking to get five stars)? Not very likely. Still recommended.

We stopped here to get some pizza. The prices were very reasonable for how large they are. Also,…read morechildren under six get a free small pizza. The pizza itself was okay. Not the best quality, but satisfying. I've had worse for sure. The service was very good though. Our waiter was extremely nice. Personally I'd say try some more authentic food for the region. But this is a good alternative if you are getting tired of that type of food.

I happened to come across this restaurant and thought to return in the evening. I am so glad I did…read more One of the best Italian food I've had in a long time, not to mention the great, attentive, friendly service. I was greeted by a nice older gentleman who I think is the manager or the owner. He kindly ushered me in and greeted me with "Merry Christmas." The server made me feel special as I dined alone for a Christmas dinner. My instincts were to order the frutti di mari spaghetti which I sort of understand as being tomato sauce based and garlic with an assortment of seafood. The other part of it I just wasn't sure of even though the waiter tried to explain it to me kindly. I am so glad I ordered it as it was plain perfect. The pasta cooked perfectly to al dente, seasoned not too salty with plenty of good garlic sauce. It was not heavy--simple yet scrumptious! I couldn't be happier. I felt like I wanted to splurge so I asked for some dessert. The waiter recommended me his favorite. From what I could figure out, it was an ice cream ball with a layer of chocolate gelato and vanilla center covered in cocoa powder. When it came out, it was pretty much what I expected with some additional whipped cream and caramel sauce. Not too heavy, just sweet enough, and a great way to end the meal. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal. Oh, and to top it off, the price was extremely reasonable for the quality of food, service, and live music! I may have to stop by Dresden again just for this meal! Thank you, and please... Don't change a thing!

Both nights visiting this restaurant we met other couples who were on this trip with us. This is such a comfortable restaurant, very rustic with much character. Helene and I usually do the same types of meals in Italian restaurants. Pizza, pasta or put them together and get a Lasagna. We did pizza, pasta and salads here. Food is delicious. It fresh, and the ingridiants are very rich and tasty. This is one of the reasons I like the food overseas so much... it's always very fresh and cooked to order. The staff here was wonderful. We were seated quickly and they were very attentive to take our order and serve food. They were quick but did not rush us through dinner. Overall I can not reccomend this lovely retaurant enough.
