“ Wow. Stopped in after another place we went was closed. Super service and the beef cheek was the best I’d ever had combined with the gnocchi max with ricotta! Be sure to have the grappa as a digestif! ”
“ Definitely a little pricey for lunch, but the pizza was delicious! Service was friendly and quick and the pizza was nice and light. We got the Margherita pizza with buffalo mozzarella. The crust was thin and the sauce and cheese were simple but tasty. However, I’m not sure I’d be inclined to go again, based on the selection of dishes at reasonable prices. ”
“ The place: slightly more upscale than we imagined (we had no idea what to expect). Luckily it was quite empty (because we had a train to catch and needed to walk to the station), but alas we needed to listen to a family from a north-american country talk nonsense about Europe. The food: since it was a more upscale place, we got fancier food for higher prices. Again, not what we were looking for, but we were not dissatisfied. My saltimbocca + gnocchi combo hit me well. I did not dare to order dessert because I did not wanted to allow my gluttony to potentially cause us to miss our train. I am sad. The service: pretty quick, considering there were not many guests outside. Fancier food takes a bit longer to prepare than simpler food, but waiting times were far from a bother. Our server was also quite nice to us. ”
