    Basement tables
    David R.

    This was amazing, both me and my wife rated it a five. Pasta with seafood was perfect, Spaghetti allo scoglio, this is so delicate and robust all at the same time. My wife asked for my bread to eat the last drop of her sauce :), with a bountiful amount of seafood!! And the goulash! Traditional old Bohemian beef goulash served with bread dumplings, the sauce was peppery and full of a mouth watering taste of red wine. When we return to Prague from Vienna next week, we plan on a return trip to this magnificent find. ENJOY!!!

    I really didn't *want* to eat at an Italian restaurant in the middle of Prague, but the menu actually had a good mix of Italian and Czech food items, so we decided to stop. We picked a small table towards the back, as far away from the large groups as we could get, while still being in the dining room. The waiter was at our table immediately, handing over the menu and asking our drink order. I was tired of "bright" beers by that point, and wanted something not a pilsner. I saw they offered a "dark" beer, so I ordered a large one of those. My husband wanted the waiter to recommend something, which ended up being the bright beer. The beers came out quickly, and once they were delivered, we put in our orders. I went with the roasted duck plate, and my husband went balls out with the many-meats plate (I think they called it something more eloquent, but it's basically a plate piled high with several different meats). The restaurant was cool and comfortable, and though it was full - there were at least three large groups dining there at the same time - it never got too terribly loud. I enjoyed the dark beer immensely - it was almost a Guinness, but not quite. It was missing the smokiness that always seems to assault my senses. My husband was disappointed with the light beer, and vowed to order a dark one once he finished it. When the food was delivered, I was glad I went with my plate. The many-meats place just looked insane, whereas my plate looked manageable. The duck had some really good flavor, but there wasn't a whole lot of meat on it. I'm not usually a fan of duck, to be honest, but I'd seen it on several other menus under the "local flavor" sections, so I figured I'd give it a try. It was good, but not exactly filling. My husband, meanwhile, was busy digging in to his meat plate. It came with some spinach gnocchi and sauerkraut, along with some duck, a stuffed chicken breast, sausage and pickled cabbage. He seemed to love it - it was hard to get an answer out of him while he was chewing. I did enjoy dining here. The waiter was super friendly and smiled all the time, which was nice. The food was decent and the beer was cool and refreshing. We'd probably go back, the next time we visit the city.

    I was only visiting Prague for a brief afternoon and looking for some traditional Czech food. I already did my research beforehand, so after I identified the dishes I wished to try on the menu, I happily went inside. I wasn't disappointed. The portion of the food was pretty big. The pork knuckles was very tender and flavorful inside. My friend ordered roast duck, which was decent. At the end of meal, the waiter sighed when he looked at our plates and saw the meat we left there. However I was pretty sure we had already eaten so much more than usual:) I didn't have a chance to try other restaurants in Prague, but overall I was satisfied with my only food experience here.

    Reputed Italian restaurant, tucked away near the Charles bridge in a side street. Did not disappoint, to use an understatement.

    I had the tagliolini with beef. The pasta itself was good, but the beef was unseasoned and bland…read more(1 star off). The sauce seemed to have been made from a can (1 star off) as the diced tomatoes tasted different than the whole tomatoes that were added to the dish later; the whole tomatoes tasted way better. My husband got the pinsa alla diavola, which was like a spicy pepperoni pizza. It was fine, but reminded me of a pizza at a kids' birthday party (1 star off), maybe only slightly better. I made a reservation a month in advance, but did not know I had to specifically request for tables outside on the river. When we arrived, only a few outdoor tables were taken, but was told the rest were reserved, so we were seated indoors instead. When we finished our dinner, the same few outdoor tables were occupied. I don't know why the restaurant couldn't just stagger the guests for the outdoor tables according to their reservation times.

    Wow! This restaurant was a stumble upon as I walked around the area wanting to see Prague from the…read moreother side of the river and to catch the Lennon Wall. It was my second visit to Prague so I was taking my time to see more than the "must see things." As I said, I stumbled onto the restaurant because I was taking in the park where artists were painting, people were reading and I pulled out my phone to use the Merlin app to identify birds that were singing. It was totally picturesque. But I wasn't hungry. So I regretfully moved on without eating there. Imagine the elation a few days later when someone in our group booked a dinner reservation for us at the same place I was regretting having missed! With a group of a dozen of us, I think someone ordered everything on the menu. We were all thrilled. We had appetizers , cocktails and entrees -- everything we had was great! The restaurant is family-owned and we were treated to the son being a primary server for our group. Now and then dad was part of the picture too and we enjoyed the added dynamic. Pretty sure the son is on point for Americans as his English was on point. They were great hosts!
