What diners are saying
Diners consistently praise the exceptional value of the lunch prix fixe and rave about the tender, melt-in-your-mouth octopus appetizer. Guests highlight the warm, attentive service—including helpful wine recommendations—and enjoy the cozy, beautiful interior and pleasant terrace. While some noted inconsistencies with the squid and salad preparation, standout dishes like the fresh swordfish, orata, and "banging" warm pita bread keep customers coming back. The chocolate mousse and dessert sampler are celebrated sweet endings to the meal.
