Our appetizer arugula salad with Parmesan was delicious. We shared a pasta with salmon dish and a vegetarian pizza. Both were generous portions and superb. Prices were very reasonable, especially after coming from Berlin. Service was excellent with kind staff willing to help us, the only non-German speakers there. We considered this a real find.
