Make sure to make reservations for this restaurant as it's sure to be packed! What a vibe this…read moreplace has...from the bottles of wine in one room to antique plates. Each room is a conversation piece. The drink and cocktail menus offer fabulous drinks and the food menu....it had me at truffles!!!! Truffle pasta and truffle pizza...delicious! I did want some protein and so I did an order of steak too. Overall, amazing service, food and ambience! A must when in Lyon!

This is a nice restaurant inside with amazing decor on the walls throughout, many dining rooms, on…read moretwo floors. However, even when I had a reservation, they put us in these bench booths in the front near the door and bar. It was terribly noisy and irritating, we couldn't even hear our guests speaking at dinner. For drinks they had no French wine, just Italian. For the meals, I ordered the pasta with butter and the meatballs. Both were cold and tasted terrible. The meatballs were bitter tasting and the pasta was too soft and plain tasting. The truffle pasta we ordered was a bit better, but not by much. Finally, no bread was provided for the meal. What kind of Italian restaurant doesn't provide a basket of bread? Especially a country that prides itself on great bread making! For service, the server was friendly but we barely saw her for the rest of the meal, she gave us very little attention. Needless to say, we will not return. Yes it has beautiful decor, but that's about it.

Great little joint. Pizza and more. Very friendly service. We ordered pizzas to take away and they…read moreasked us if we wanted to sit and have a glass of wine while we waited (about 15 mins) which was very appreciated as they were quite busy. Pizzas were delicious... my favourite was the mushroom and truffle. Affordable, delicious, good service, cute ambience, great location. I recommend.

My husband and I were craving pizza after a four hour drive from Paris to Lyon on a Sunday evening…read more Most of the other places were closed and we WERE SO LUCKY to have found this gem. Not only were they going to open on Sunday night, but they weren't supposed to open until 7. We walked by at 6:30, and the owner offered us a seat. This was SO sweet since he did not speak english ( we spoke very little french or italian) and his waitress who did speak english hadn't come in yet. He made do and was so very hospitable. We had the margherita pizza and ravioli bolognese. Not only was the food delicious, and completely authentic, but we cannot say enough about the high quality of ingredients and the value. We stayed to have gelato (also amazing). We will only be here three days but can't wait to come back. I hope more people find this one of a kind place - just a tad tucked away behind the busy tourist filled places on the main street.
