Our Guestbook
“ Came across this restaurant on our walk to find dinner and thankful that we did. We sat outside with the water misters, welcome in the current heat wave. Hubby and I shared the Florentine special for 65 euro which came with an appetiser of prosciutto, soft cheese and fried dough balls (so good) and then a huge T-bone steak with potatoes. Only thing missing was some greens. The steak was simply delicious, and was enough to share with our son as well. Very pleased with the meal. Wine selection was lovely and staff very friendly even though it was busy. ”
“ We booked to stay right next to this restaurant and we decided to try it rather than walk further away. Very popular place as it is right by the leather market. We both had beef. I had the steak strips with porcini and my husband had the pepper stew. We both ordered salad as a side but we could have shared one as it was a big plateful. Both were gorgeous meals and we would definitely recommend this as a place to go. ”
“ It's been a very long 10 years since my last visit, but it was such a lovely homely restaurant with a very friendly manager, I remember it was my dad's birthday at the time and the manager/owner gave us a free bottle of house vino, and generally was a very good meal with pizza and pasta. My family are currently visiting right now so I hope they will visit here, I'm sure my dad will! Highly recommend! ”
“ What a nice find! Staff was super welcoming and friendly. The food was served quickly and it was delicious! You have to try their soupes! We had the traditional soupe and the tomato one. The pizza was really good too (the one with truffles) and overall we enjoyed quite a lot our dinner there. It was calm around 6pm but got busier later as more and more people started coming. It's a nice atmosphere with some background music that's not loud at all so it wasn't bothering. I definitely recommend this place. ”
“ The food was very tasty and delivered to me with great hospitality. From the restaurant I had a lovely view on the market which was slowly closing and being cleaned up. Would surely recommend this place ”
