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!
