"We were there for dinner and tried the menu for 2. The food was good and tasty. The restaurant is small and even if it was Monday it was quite crowded (so better to do reservation) The only “but” is that the service was very slow. The waiter took almost 20 minutes to take the order. In his defence I have to say that he was alone doing everything (waiter/doing drinks/ receiving payments for more than 15 tables) with a “full restaurant” he really need more help!"
