So Make a reservation. The place is pretty big with limited inside seating. Although most is covered. Service was great from both servers on both nights. Never felt rushed. We ordered the long pizza and salad to share. The salad was a simple big bowl of fresh arugula and we dressed it ourselves with a bit of lemon juice, oil and a white balsamic vinegar. Perfect. We altered the pizza a bit and omitted the tuna and replaced with thinly slice red onions that went with roasted peppers, artichokes and mushrooms. We expected it to come all mixed together and we were wrong. Individual sections each having its own veggie. It was fantastic. Highly recommend. Pizza, salad with cocktails and nice tip about $60 Ch. just remember to make reservations.

When I queried the server whether they were really open, he said of course, just that most people didn't stay for dinner on Sundays. So, the two of us ordered two pastas and a pizza to share. The pastas were just passable, with noodles that were past al dente and arrabbiata sauce that was rather lacking in Calabrian peppers and garlic. Still, the server was quite proud of his trick of adding some brandy to top off the pasta. That probably helped but couldn't rescue the pasta. The pizza was better, as it came fresh off the oven. At least, we lucked out as the neighboring table was presented with two blackened lumps of dough that obviously had to be sent back. In a pinch, this will do, just don't expect quality Italian food despite the proximity.

It was a beautiful summer day and everyone was being seated on the outside terrace.

We lingered over our drinks for about an hour, enjoying the day and view. A 1dl glass of house white and a 3dl beer came to $12.15.

The pizza is perfectly baked, a thin tasty crust with crispy edges, likely baked from a brick/stone oven.
