The coffee is a bit dark for my taste but still some very good coffee available. In addition to the good coffee I must also recommend the salads that are excellent, especially the parma and the salsiccia salads. The smoothies are also fresh and delicious.

It's also fun to watch them preparing it. Would you like to have some pastry with your cappuccino or latte macchiato? Well, they have a big variety. Or maybe you should even consider a ball of delicious Swiss Mövenpick ice cream. Fratello's location and interior might not be as great as at La Torrefazione on Aleksanterinkatu. Anyway it is definitely a must for coffee lovers.

The dude was quick. The pizza size was large and they were remarkably economically priced. The chef was very flexible when we asked for a kid's pizza. He made a normal sized pizza: 1/2 plain cheese and 1/2 with 2 toppings. This was a really thin crust pizza. So, ask for it to be sliced or it will be a long time cold before you can slice your way through it. All of pizza had fresh toppings were fresh, nothing out of a can. The sauce was really really good. It was subtle, sweet, and not over seasoned with oregano and garlic, like other pizza places usually do. The crust, for me was too thin and hard. That's just a personal preference. This place had real Italian combinations on the pizzas, not the usual bizarre combos one finds in Finland. The cheese topping was real Italian cheese not Edam or sone other random Euroshopper hellacious cheese mix. Basically, this was the most authentic Italian pizzeria, that I've been to in Finland. All the products are imported from Italy and it is evident in the genuine taste of the pizzas.

Soup was excellent, seasoned perfectly and made with fresh tomatoes. Came with a bruschetta sampler which tasted good but bread was soaked in oil... a little crunch would have been nice. Main course was lasagna - under seasoned but very tasty and with proper gratin on top. I would say a little above average - I've had a lot of lasagna in my lifetime :-) Service is rapid but a little stale and little to no smiles received. Good joint if you're in this area and given it is in a shopping mall.

I heard a number of languages from the tables around me while enjoying my pizza, none of which were Finnish. But that's not necessarily a bad thing! It's waterfront, has free wifi, a solid wine list, and a range of pizza options including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free. A great place to decompress during a work trip, to enjoy a glass of wine and some thin crust peacefully at a table for one.
