I'd return and I recommend Woodpecker.

While the outdoor menu has 15+ pasta dishes the one we were given inside had only 5. Again, due to the language barrier we ordered off of those few in the indoor menu and while they were tasty, the ham in the carbonara was quite chewy and the bolognese was rather loose.

The servers were pleasant. I ordered a shrimp pasta dish with indian curry creamy based sauce. My sister ordered a chicken pasta dish with olive oil based sauce. Both were spectacular in flavor, and pretty hefty portions. We took leftovers back with us. Finding a large portion meal is difficult in Europe, but this place did the trick. They have mostly Italian food but some other dishes for those who are looking for alternative items on the menu.

This place serves fruit bowls, fresh-squeezed juices and fresh veggies as well as typical breakfast and lunch items. They specialize in poached eggs and peck-style waffles. I went with the charcoal pancakes which has strawberry sauce and lime cream cheese; I also had egg, OJ, and a latte. My colleague had avocado toast with spring mix. I was very pleased with the charcoal pancakes but the portion was quite small. It's a good thing that I ordered egg as well. My colleague loved the avocado toast. My cell signal was very spotty and they provided me with the WiFi password. The service was good, the menu was unique, the food was good and the name is awesome. Four stars!

I visited as part of one of my friend's bachelorette parties and had a great time. I love the atmosphere, the only light comes from the windows or the lights just above the tables, giving the bar a very cozy and intimate feeling. I would love to go on a date here, I find it to be a very romantic location. Service is fantastic (my friend loves talking to the owners) and decor is beyond gorgeous.
