Guest Feedback

"Delicious food, stylish interior, spacious outdoor area. Friendly and professional service. The cherry on top are the small, charming details like a thoughtful note on the saucer, artwork on the caffè latte foam, or an inspiring quote in the bill holder."

"Thank you for the delicious dinner, the pizza was a pleasant surprise, and the dessert was a delightful treat. The service was superb, and so was the ambiance. I left with warm wishes :) That was the cherry on top. I will definitely visit again. Stay well!"

Angelika Lall

"A very pleasant experience. As we were a larger group (8 hungry people), we requested to dine together at one table. Our request caused no confusion. An extra table appeared promptly, and we were able to enjoy delicious food. We truly felt like we were in the right place!"

Piia Klaos

"Honestly, one of the best restaurant visits I’ve had in years. The pizza was among the best I’ve ever eaten. The gelato was superb, served with a fresh, warm waffle. And the fries with chicken from the kids' menu were so tasty that even my slightly picky little lady finished it all. The staff were also incredibly friendly :)"

Kenneth Benström

"A lovely place with free Wi-Fi. The food was filling and absolutely delicious. The sweet potato fries with truffle mayo were a solid 6/5—just so good. A short waiting time, but fun activities for kids to keep them entertained. The signature dish, lion’s mane mushroom, was truly memorable, especially with the detailed explanation of the origins of each ingredient."

Heavenly mussels, otherwordly trout with unprecedented cellery steak, tagliatelle al trifolato to kill for. Hail the chef, a true artist!

I would give 10 points to all. Delicious foods, superior service and overall a great experience. Yes, more pricey than some places but worth it, i think.
