When I got to my table to eat the food was cold and gross (cold eggplant lasagna sitting in a pool of liquid) I took it back inside and they would not give me a refund, they demanded I pick out something else from their case of stale food... I refused and they wouldn't refund me. Terrible food and service.

The atmosphere is incredible and makes the evening even more special. We had a set menu this time, and once again, it did not disappoint.

It is off the main road, but just walking distance away from bus stops and the Balduina train station. The cannoli are a decent price and they taste great! I personally tried the pistachio flavor, while my friends tried a creme-like cannolo and a chocolate cannolo which they all enjoyed as well. The place itself is quite small, but what it lacks in square footage they gain by giving off a family-friendly vibe. They were also playing classic American 80s music, which was something that really stood out to me. I will definitely be back to try the other types of pastries and main dishes that they offer.
