I found this place easily on Yelp as one of the more prominent restaurants in Tampere. I arrived…read moreto line going out the door and waited for about 30 minutes to be seated. Once we were seated we were greeted soon after and were able to place orders in a timely manner. I was impressed that the menu was large. There were plenty of offerings for both pizza and pasta. The pizza appeared to be Naples-inspired pizza; however, the pizza was thin but did not taste near as good as Napule in Helsinki. I liked that although it was Italian-style pizza, there were diverse offerings of toppings more preferred with American pizza. I ordered a BBQ cheeseburger pizza with BBQ sauce topping, ground beef, bacon and cheddar cheese. I also ordered a pasta with pesto sauce, fettuccini noodles, Kalamata olives, buffalo mozzarella and parmesan cheese. The pasta was very good and the pizza was OK. A small salad bar was included. Overall 3.5 star experience with good service and reasonable prices.

During the summer the outside terrace comes in handy too for sum bathing before returning to the office. During the evening the restaurant's food has not been that spectacular - been twice and been disappointed twice.

A cozy restaurant in a Tampere landmark - Finlayson old factory. May use an update in decorations…read morethough. After being there a number of times, the conclusion is as follows. A place to consider if you feel like a steak. Also pastas are ok. But do not go there for pizza (what because of the Italian name people seem to do a lot). Pizzas are bad. Being relatively expensive (12-14 euros), may completely unacceptably include canned paprika, canned champignons, or other cheap ingredients.

I am giving this a low rating, NOT because of the food!…read more The food here is GREAT..When you eventually get it! The low rating is for the service. Which lately has been very slow. I think the owners are cutting costs by under staffing the place. The last 3 times I have been dining here there was only 1 server and 1 chef. This is a busy place to eat. rarely is it empty, so it really should be better staffed. Pizzas are great, 'complimentary' salad is also above average for Tampere.

I've been taught to eat everything that's on the plate and that is what I do: waste not. That said,…read moreI left my food on the plate after a few bites. Pizza dough was almost raw everywhere but the very edge. It swam - I mean SWAM in grease. The topping list had no mention that the pizza would have garlic in it, in fact it's on the list as only with extra charge. I did not order it and the pizza had chunks of garlic, all good except I can't eat it, it will do terrible things to me that will have me running to the bathroom. We asked for the bill and as is the norm the water asked if it was good, I politely said, not really. She asked why and I told her the above things - garlic, the doughy bottom, swimming in greasy mess and I added that the tomatoes on top were cold and uncooked. She ignored all the other things and told me that that's the way the tomatoes are suppose to be, because they are added after cooking. I'm fine with being told food is the way it suppose to be, like tomatoes - fine. I'm not ok with being ignored about the actual mistakes in the food: so much grease you could cook fries in it, dough raw bottom and not asked for garlic. After that we got the bill with no word of apology. I think that was what did it for me, I politely told them I wasn't happy with the food and could not eat it and they shrug it off. So in short it's horribly overpriced and more terrible then the cheapest midnight pizza I've ever had.

This place is one the natives hold dear. One that legends are truly made of…read more Most love their pizzas, although some pizza lovers don't think very highly of them. It suffices to say the pizzas generally aren't really your strictly traditional Italian variant. There's that personal touch with years of experience thrown in. The pizzas are box-filling large with plenty of fillings. There's sometimes a hurried feel to them that you see but likely won't taste. It's a busy restaurant at times with the phone constantly ringing. The place itself has a worn out feel to it, but it's comfortable. The salad bar (included) is mediocre on the best of days. Skip it, unless you are terribly hungry. There's decent roadside parking. Note that you need a parking disc.
