Pretty touristy place but with an amazing outside patio. I'm not sure about the 'local…read moreauthenticity' of the menu. Most of the meat is served on a hot stone, even sausages. I'm not a fan of the hot stone thing; nevertheless it makes a change to the average restaurant visit. The dishes came with a lot of rice or potatoes but without any veggies. I had an appetizer salad and the horse as main course - both tasted great.

Live music playing often makes this a perfect spot for a quick drink after work or a dinner for two or with friends. Highly recommended. The staff is also young and very professional as well as funny.

The drinks were presented beautifully (see photo) with fresh sliced ginger and raspberry skewers. The Tiramisu was large with a large amount of whipped marscapone cheese (which adds to the "light" fluffiness of the dessert). A nice plate of "bruschetta-like" complimentary appetizers were brought to the table with our drinks, including small pizza slices and salami/pickle/bread pieces. We didn't have a meal here, but the experience was very satisfactory, the service was very attentive, and the prices were very good considering the prime location.

With just the right amount of saltiness and semolina and air bubbles. But I've zoomed in on the crust too enthusiastically. The menu is extensive, and has any Italian pizza lovers favorite combination (all languages available--at least English, French, German, Italian). The ingredients were perfectly farm-fresh. The cherry tomatoes on my buffalina pizza had a sweet sugary flavor profile. And the Buffalo mozzarella was thin skinned with a soft milky interior, just the way it should be. The sauce was simple--fresh tomatoes puréed. And it's like they knew me, because the condiment they brought to thr table was pimento oil, because I love being emotional when I eat. Clearly it worked because I'm in love. The amoré kind of love. FYI There's public parking just beyond the restaurant, so the time between parking and pizza is efficient. And service was very professional and kind.

She spoke a little English, and with a mix of some Italian we got our short order in easily. We sat outside enjoying the day at a small metal table with umbrella and plastic lawn chairs. There are also picnic tables with bench seating available for larger crowds. The outside area is quite large with a lovely large tree. The inside is very nicely decorated. We did not eat, but there was a very small menu available. Credit card and cash accepted.
