Fairly friendly service which was above all efficient and streamlined. This seems to be a well frequented cafeteria, so fast service is appreciated.

In the afternoon, it transforms into the perfect spot to enjoy a relaxed aperitivo in a lovely, cozy setting. The service truly stands out -- the staff is incredibly friendly, attentive, and always smiling, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.

Server- told him it's our first Italian meal- (with someone that live here) . Almost upsold us on the wine (two most expensive bottles at $130 per bottle - it's not that type of place. Thankfully person we were with caught that. Then at end of meal- said we owed cash tip on top of bill. We paid the cash tip- knowing it was definitely not part of what was expected. Tipping was already included on the bill. So we paid it on the credit card. He had some BS reason he said he needed cash for the extra $10. I paid it bc - not in the mood to fight it and not the end of the world- but definitely doesn't look good. Person I was with goes here often. Not sure he'll be good back as he knows we got scammed and was pretty irritated by it.

The meatball itself was juicy and that tomato sauce was thick and beefy. The braised beef was tender and paired with the salted potatoes and salad it was a well balanced plate.

You are most likely in a foreign country, that makes you vulnerable. If you pay up front, they can hold your bed hostage hoping you will be desperate enough to pay the full charge again. This mistake cost me over €400. 2. Never use a third party app to book. Only book on their website (and again, do not pay upfront). 3. For those with disabilities: Only ask them for accommodations via email, so that you have a paper trail. The hard truth is you can follow all the rules and if they want to strong arm you and steal your money, they can and will. It happened to me. They flat out refused to honor my reservation and told me if I wanted to stay I'd have to pay a second time. They are crooks so BE CAREFUL.

Gli ho chiesto cosa fa qui che e dormitorio feminile. Lui mi ha informato che Era un dormitorio misto. Sono sceza al reception sperando che Era un erore. La, un uomo capelli Bianchi Ed ochiali. Lui mi ha informato che mi sbagliavo io, che Era dormitorio misto. Ho aperto la email di conferma della prenotazione, dove non Era scritto niente di simile. Il uomo mi ha risposto che lui non mi possa aiutare visto che deve pensare agli altri che Hanno prenotato feminile! Nessun aiuto,nessuna soluzione mi e Stata offerta. Sono diventati ostili e mi mostravano quando non sono benvenuta da questo punto in poi. La seconda note, oggi 30 Maggio 2024. Dopo che Hanno chiuso il bar sopra sono scezi gli altri ospiti. Tutti uomini Ed io unica dona. Non ci si dorme visto il loro suoni da russore, rutti, scorgi e altri rumori corporali. Uno dei ospiti disturbato dal russare sbatte Sul mettallo, fa suoni del gatto e altri suoni stile rapporto intimo. Sono sceza al reception alle ore 3.30/4am. Oviamente non potendo piu. Dove uomo Anni 30, si e permesso ad urlatmi e dirmi che sono sbagliata Ed che questo e dormitorio misto. Mi ha urlato finche ho pianto Ed mi sono allontanata, lui cercava a convincermi che io non avevo Capito nulla. Cercava di portarmi I suoi raggioni in maniera molto aggressiva,scortese Ed arrabiato. Ho chisto "non trattarmi di m*!" Lui si ha messo ad urlare di piu dicendo come cavolo ti permetti di ofendermi! Non ti permittere. Lo chiesto di smettere di urlare e lasciarmi. Lui ha sfogato la sua rabbia adolescenziale repressa. Dopo cio e venuto con un fazoletto dicendo, mi scusi per aver urlato, ma non e colpa Mia, e una situazione tra Lei e albergo, io non ci entro niente! Lui ha giustificato il suo abuso verbale con :non e colpa Mia che russano!" Horible services. Check in, obnoxious and loud, and very unprofessional girl trying to speak broken English and very inadequate when I speak Italian. As i spoke Italian i was treated as a lower level being. The girl try to force sell a lockers price 6 euro each. Very pushy. I booked a bed in a 4 bed female dormitory. At least my believe. I enter the room ready to relax when old male entered age 60+, dressed like coming from construction site, I told he is fixing the restroom. After I asked how long will take he said he is a guest. I told it was an error. I went to the reception and try to understand what was going on. Older male with glasses informed me that my room is mixed dormitory. So I opened my confirmation email where this information was committed. His response was, I need to think about others who are coming next and had booked female dormitory. No assistance was offered. I discovered that if he moved me to ladies dormitory it costed less,as results they were supposed to refund some of what I was charged. I suppose this explain the resilience and undesirability to help me. Second night At 1 am they closed the rooftop bar and those males come to the room,not respectfully, snoring and other corporeal sound, make it impossible to sleep. I went down to the reception after 4 hours of torture. Where a male age 30ties allowed himself to scream at me with anger and extreme hostility. I honestly felt uncomfortable. I am a women and I feel in danger. He screamed until I couldn't stop crying. Extremely verbally abusive. I look for another hotel but as I am leaving shortly I couldn't find. The screaming man saw my review and bring a napkin, saying sorry I scream, but he justified his aggressive behavior with:I am not responsible for this,this is between you and the hotel!" The stuff is poorly mannered. Lack of basic human consideration and absolutely unprofessional. Not welcoming, not friendly. Absolutely disrespectful and just poorly behaved unhealthy individuals. Just Horible. I don't recommend it. Dangerous, dirty, dingy zone full of drug dealers homeless and a lot of stools around this hostel. It looks shiny from the outside, but it is really Horible. This is not safe for ladies solo travelers. It's just abusive and toxic and really traumatizing. Never again. I don't recommend.
