The pizza was a highlight, especially with that generous ball of fresh burrata right in the center. We also really enjoyed the pasta with mussels and the desserts were the perfect end to our visit. We will definitely be back.
The food is fresh and testy. Nice hosts!
The tables were uneven and kept shaking during the meal. Even though the staff seemed aware of the issue, nobody tried to fix it.
