Everything rotates around the Mezés, fixed price entries that go from a delicious hummus, to tzatziki, a delicious yogurt cheese, a vegetables cream and the awesome "frittelle di zia Esterina". There's also an option for happy hour to enjoy a glass of wine and one mezè for just €7. After this round of entries here are the main courses: my Jerusalem's filled chicken with rice, pine seeds and cinnamon was amazing, but they serve also a shawarma plate, a good beef, cous cous and some pasta dishes. At the end a good glass of sweet Sicilian zibibbo wine and a delicious Libanese cannolo... It's been a bit pricey, but worth it.

The baccalà had the sauce which was almost raw, practically uncooked, with random raisins and pine nuts thrown in, and a couple of olives which did not mix at all, giving the experience of a dish prepared by arranging a few ingredients with no binding whatsoever among them. A bit pricey, too, given the quality.
