It will not take you long to identify whose team the adorable owner is supporting: purple is all over the place. If esthetically I do not 100% support this choice of color, it is cute to put your love for Fiorentina all over your wall - literally. I liked this heartfelt touch.
As we say in French, and i do not know how it will come out in English: this place does not reward you with its look. It has something more powerful going on: a super nice owner and delicious carbonaras (with the right amount of pepper you can dream of). For me this is what matters beyond anything else. I really loved the carbonaras whose recipe was really particularly tasty. My friends were also happy with their choice, even my Italian friend (so the food must be authentic enough).
We ordered a vino della casa (house wine) that was super bad and when we asked about it (the taste was strange) the owner was so nice, apologized because it was a new wine and had not tasted it yet and immediately replaced it with a bottle of a good one, for the same price. Also he arranged a table for us in a very tiny place which was very kind of him as we were basically blocking his way to the bar. I felt almost at home thanks to this nice owner. read more
