Food wasn’t great at all, nothing I’d be racing back for. Place was very loud at the start but quietened down a bit after. Staff were good

The food and service were very good! Pizza with potatoes, scamorza and sausage was 10/10! The waiters seem under a lot of pressure, but they still kept it professional and all smiles! The only downside is that the place gets so loud that you cannot hear who's sitting in front of you so we decided to skip the dessert and go to a more quiet place for it!

The ambiance is modern but still cozy. There are 2 floors. Stairs are steep for senior persons. The Buratta appetizer was delicious. The spaghetti carbonara was al dente, which I found a bit difficult to eat. The tagliatelle bolognese was perfect. The service was outstanding, and our waiter recommended the perfect wine. This is a creative and upscale restaurant and is priced accordingly, but not so expensive that you'll need a loan.
