  • "The atmosphere was so viby that we decided to stay for a couple of drinks at the bar."
  • "The pizzas are quite good, well baked and creative."
  • "The decor is nice. They have a nice art wall and it has a very good vibe overall."

Cons:

  • "It was absurdly dark, beyond moody, more in the region of a blown fuse."
  • "Could barely hear any conversation among the loud music from the DJ in the restaurant."
  • "The place itself on a Thursday night was very crowded, very noisy, and oddly very dark."

Service

Pros:

  • "The host greeted us and got us our table (we booked)."
  • "Staff is super friendly, food is great with lots of flavours, options to pick from."
  • "Great experience. The food is delightful and very nicely presented and their pasta as well as their desserts are to die for!"

  • "Excellent service, very decent Italian pizzas, perfect crust."

Cons:

  • "We waited 45 minutes for our food. With them essentially forgetting to process our order."
  • "The manager was extremely rude and was asking us to pay again and again."
