"Lovely friendly welcoming staff regardless of the fact I am a wheelchair user. This was a welcome change to some other restaurants locally who were very discriminatory. Our server Jerome was excellent, as was Manu. Highly recommend. Also loved the funky decor."

"Just had one of the best meals in a long time. From entering the restaurant we were greeted by the most friendliest host. We sat outside as we had a small dog with us and can at times be barky. He was accommodating and brought water for him. The derive was quick and the food was excellent. If passing definitely stop in for food and wine. Not overly expensive also for bottle of wine, pizza, still water and pasta was under €60"

"Great Pizza, good wine. I‘ve visited the small Italian restaurant twice within a 3 day business trip, as the pizza was very very good, the staff was very friendly and the wine was good as well. The pizza was made and served within 10 minutes, no long waiting time. In addition, compared to other restaurants, it was not overcrowded, everybody kept distance and I felt very safe from Covid. Highly recommended."
