“ A timeless, I would say, restaurant with remarkable professional restaurateurs with knowledge of the food they sell but also in the wide variety of wines they have. Here you will find quality meats, some of them matured, served with corresponding cuts. Upon entering there is a display case with them and at the back of the hall there is a visible cellar in which they keep remarkable wines. ”
“ Great atmosphere and delicious food. Everyone was very polite and welcoming. It was a warm lovely in a winter evening . We were quite hungry so we didnt take pictures of the food. They were kind enough to take us in without a reservation. And we got cookied as a compliment at the end of our dinner. ”
“ Even though it was busy i was given a seat. The waiter went out of his way to explain the menu and proposed wonderful dishes. The food was fresh and hearty. A very good experience and very affordable. ”
