We had dinner here and really enjoyed it. We ordered a traditional pasta dish and the bacalao, both were tasty and felt homemade. We also had a glass of wine, and the overall experience was very good. Francesco was kind and welcoming, which added to the nice atmosphere. It is a quiet restaurant with a great quality to price ratio.

We had bruschette with four different toppings as antipasto, and as mains, baby octopus alla Luciana (in tomato sauce with black olives) and fried calamari. The food was absolutely delicious and the wine recommended (Coda di volpe), complemented the food. Highly satisfied, will definitely come back.

On Maundy Thursday, according to Neapolitan tradition, we had a delicious mussel soup (Zuppa di Cozze) in this cozy restaurant. The main courses were also very tasty. Good wine with it and a good homemade tiramisu afterwards. Recommended!

Wow! I have eaten in a lot of Italian restaurants and the food here is first class. Top drawer! The menu is not in English, so we had fun ordering almost blind. The two dishes that arrived were perfect in so many ways. Flavour, quantity, quality service,. Even the beer choices were good. This little restaurant should be winning awards if it isn't,t. Thankyou
