    We ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, Tartufata, and Margherita Pizza, and each dish was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Also, Nutella calzone was so tasty. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant experience. The outdoor seating is a standout feature, offering a cozy and charming ambiance, especially during the Christmas season with all the festive decorations. It's a great spot to enjoy a meal while soaking in the holiday spirit. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the atmosphere!

    We had a great time again here. I had the Pappardelle Alla Buttera, and my son had the Gnocci Castagne. Both were excellent. Gabriel, our server, and the rest of the service team were very attentive despite being extremely busy. Besides the tables being very close together, the atmosphere was lively and fun.
