Thumbs up for this restaurant from me!

We made a reservation and that was a smart thing to do, cause even on a wednesday night the place was stuffed. A nice cosy but bright trendy athmosphere. Not too noisy, great Italian music, old black and white movies projected on the wall. It all gives the place an athomosphere of its own. The real Italian pizzaioli working hard in the kitchen, but enjoying their music in the meantime. We had to wait a bit too long for our antipasti and that is the only minor thing. The quality of the food is really good. Pure, fresh and real Italian style. We had some bruschetta and pecorino, olives and sausage to start with. After that we shared two pizza's that both tasted so nice, that I actually believe we chose the best two of the menu. I guess I have to come back a few more times to test my hypothesis. It is actually a real pizza restaurant. They serve some antipasti, some salads, focaccia's and a lasagna or vegetarian dish with aubergine, and offcourse some desserts that sounded promising, but unfortunately I could not handle that anymore. But when it comes to pizzas they have some nice choices. We had one with truffle, rucola, pecorino and a nice Italian meat. The other one was also a real treat with home made Italian sausage and fungi porcini. Of course with a Montepulciano wine to accompany all this. I am sure I will come here another time. By the way, they also do take-out.

An unplanned stop in Hilversum brought us here in between the lunch and dinner crowds. We had the…read moreplace to ourselves and ordered the Pasta with Paprika which was listed with 2 chili's and a Ravioli stuffed with spinach. Both had very good flavor and the Pasta was a perfect al dente. The Ravioli came in a bowl of olive oil, which I have noticed is usual for this region. As to the level of spicy, I would have to say it was pretty mild. However, I also like jalapeños on anything. So, for Dutch tastes, I could see that it would be considered spicy. The waitress was very nice with the right level of attentiveness. Nice atmosphere, relaxed and casual. Ordered tiramisu for dessert with a coffee and both came out very nice with good flavor. We will be back! Only drawback, they do not accept credit cards, only debit. At €15 a plate, that can be pretty pricy for a larger party if credit cards are not accepted.

What's great about it for me is the Gluten Free and Vegetarian options on Pizza and Pasta dishes, which is what they specialize in as an Italian restaurant. They also offer very nice salads and grilled vegetables. The food has always tasted great and the service, like the people in this country, is very nice :) They are fluent in English, but do not offer Menu written in English. Just ask, they'll be glad to help you.

Even very slightly traveled Dutch people know the great MARIO in Utrecht. From the outside this…read moreappeared to be a closely related franchise. So I went in with my friend because we suddenly got the craving for one of those good ol' MARIO sandwiches... When we got our sandwiches we found out that the bread was not exactly fresh, it was puffy, and tasteless. The salami was not really salami, but a weird cheap rolled meat paste substitute. Instead of cheese there was some awful white tasteless sheets of something so tasteless I couldn't believe it. There was no corizo, and even the pepperoni tasted funny. This was the second worst eating experience of my life, I was genuinely fearing for my health. Not wanting any trouble, and not even knowing where to begin, I went to pay 9,- Euros for two sandwiches. The cook, dressed in slippers, looked over my shoulder at our plates and asked me "Little too much?"... I tried holding in my hysterical laugh, and yelled "hhYES!" I would recommend you sample the food here quickly before this place goes under. Just so you can experience the most tasteless and awful food in the universe. This guy took the worst ingredients he could find god knows where, that still resembled the original ingredients, and slapped them together in the wrong order. It's an astounding experience to taste what a total lack of craftsmanship and talent can do to food. Our stomachs were upset for three hours having taken only three bites. I'm going to ask the owners of MARIO if they know about this, and then recommend they either they sue him or take away his franchising rights for attempting this atrocious reproduction of MARIO, which only serves to give them a horrendously bad reputation. (One star feels like way too much)
