Made a reservation for six, the banquet option provided was amazing with a wide variety of dishes. Some people in the party were vegetarian and Pellegrino accommodated that professionally. A overall great experience.

Fabulous find in a back lane of the city. Beautifully fitted out. We only had pastas and a salad and everything was truly delicious, albeit pastas were a little on the smaller side. Tiramisù was excellent too. Will definitely return! Thank you.
