We had two excellent pizzas. Other locals seem to have dinner here as well and the waitress was one of the nicest and efficient we had so far :)

Great food, great prices, great atmosphere. The service was a little slow (a small team having to serve a lot of customers). We had two main courses, a pasta and a fish dish, both were really good. Did not get a chance to try their pizzas. But whatever you do, make sure you leave room for dessert. The almond semifreddo is absolutely fantastic. OMG, it was so good... I think I have to return to this place one day just for the semifreddo :)

Amazing food, great staff. The seafood platter was particularly good. Do not count on having a breakfast at 11 though.

Very good primi piatti for diner. Despite language barriers, the staff took the time to take my reservation and understand what we wanted to order. The price in the end is more than correct. I would recommend.
