We had the bolognese, cacio de Pepe and the hand made ravioli which were decadent. Keep in mind, it's the Italian way of cooking, so it's not rushed. If you are on a time crunch this might not be the place for you, but if you want to have a leisurely, authentic Italian experience, then this is your place. Also, the wine was excellent

LUCKILY we showed up around 6:45 and they squeezed us into their last table. Elena was amazing. We trusted her to decide what we should order and the black truffle and Parmesan pasta was amazing.

Great value. Well done!!

We spent Christmas Eve dinner here, drawn in not just by the glow of the lights or the promise of a warm meal, but by something more, something that made the world outside fade for a while. Just a few steps from Le Méridien Vienna, it was as if the universe conspired to place it within reach, making the choice easy, like slipping into a well-worn chair by the fire. And the food, the kind that makes you close your eyes for a second, just to savor it. Rich pastas, perfectly balanced flavors, and wine that melted the last of the winter chill. We lingered over every bite, knowing that some meals are more than just food,they are moments, sealed in time. Dessert came like a gift, as sweet and satisfying as the evening itself. The service? Thoughtful, unrushed, the kind that makes you feel less like a guest and more like an old friend. We walked out into the crisp Vienna night full, happy, and knowing one thing for certain: once was not enough. So we came back. Because when you find a place where Christmas feels a little warmer, where the food is worth remembering, and the welcome feels just right, you don't just visit. You return.

Spicy Salami Pizza - very tasty crust, San Marzano sauce was well balanced, cheese golden brown, spicy salami not overpowering. It was a 5 star pizza for sure. Calzone - stuffed with ham, artichokes, olives, mushrooms, mozzarella, tomato sauce. 5 stars As good as the pizza was, the pasta might have been even better... Carbonara - we had very good carbonara in Italy, but this was the best we've had. Perfectly balanced. Not too much egg base, pancetta great Smokey flavor and texture, often it gets over cooked and tough. 5 stars Truffle cheese filled gnocchi - wow just wow. These large gnocchi are so rich, another must order if it's on the menu when you go. Order some bread to make sure you don't waste a drop of that truffle cream sauce. 5 stars Service was very friendly and you could tell they really appreciated that we were enjoying the food so much. We so wanted to eat there the next day, but alas had other scheduled food stops to do...but really we should have had a 2nd meal here to try other things. Next time I'm in Vienna for sure I'm stopping by and I highly recommend you do as well.

Definitely a different experience from other restaurants we've eaten at in Vienna. But maybe this guy had stuff going on in his life and it just manifested itself as anger towards the world....I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. In any event, food is decent here.

I was not disappointed in anything except their bar selection, they likely have a great wine selection, but neither I or my business partner drink wine.
