"What a hidden little gem! We were pulled in by the 7 euro spritz and bruschetta sign. The bruschetta was tasty, spritz hit the spot! We also ordered the crab linguine. This was easily the best pasta dish I have had our whole trip. The staff was super nice, attentive but also relaxed so you didn't feel rushed or any pressure (which is often experienced in the big bustling city restaurants). The crab linguine for 16 euro, it comes with two full sized crabs that are halved, and the tools to eat it along with delicious pasta . Our meal was incredible. Highly recommend visiting for a nice bite to eat!"

"Genuinely one of the best steaks I have ever experienced. Me & my wife had discovered this place by chance the night previous by dropping in for drinks. We were made to feel so welcome by Tony & Mya by their hospitality we decided to returned the following evening for our dinner plans, IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT. The steak was one of the best experiences we have ever had, fully authentic & was cooked to perfection . We would 100% recommend this restaurant if you are looking for an authentic florentine steak experience along with outstanding hospitality. We would absolutely return here again, thank you to Tony, Mya & the chef for an amazing dinning experience, you guys really are a credit to this restaurant ."
