"Lo frequento da anni e mantiene i suoi punti di forza: ottima qualità degli ingredienti porzioni abbondanti e rapporto qualità/prezzo eccellente. L'ultima volta ho gustato gli spaghetti all'assassina, veramente buoni, abbiamo diviso la porzione in due. Locale molto grande, due sale un po' anonime ed è l'unico difetto. Personale attento, veloce e professionale. Locale consigliatissimo"

"Excellent lunch. Fantastic service. I ordered the Stinco with potatoes absolutely delicious and everything cooked to perfection. Excellent value at €13. I was given crudités and a welcome antipasto too which was a lovely surprise. Fantastic insalata mista also. Would highly recommend."

"We were a group of 7 plus a baby and 2 dogs and they were very accommodating. They didn't really have food for kids, so the baby got just pasta with tomato sauce, but would have been nice if there was a ragu sauce so he could have some meat. But they brought out the food for him ASAP which was very kind. We also ordered an assortment of dishes including pasta, meat and fish. But to start we all shared the antipasto of the restaurant with 12 types of dishes, all very very good and highly recommended. I got the filetto al pepe verde - while the meat was cooked to what I asked, the pepe verde sauce wasn't quite right and a little disappointing. But my friends enjoyed their other dishes so maybe i just picked the wrong one. Staff was very friendly but hard to get their attention as they were running around to keep up with food coming out and orders going in. The outside dining was beautifully set up and tables at a good distance from each other and masks being worn by staff the entire time and guests until being seated. Would recommend this place if you're staying in the area."

"Pizza buona, posto ampio, nessuna difficoltà nel parcheggiare. Servizio eccellente grazie ai tanti ragazzi e ragazze che lavorano con passione e professionalità. Ampia scelta di pizze per tutti i gusti e birre italiane. Prodotti anche senza lattosio e per varie intolleranze. I bambini hanno giocato nell'ampia sala dando anche un po di fastidio ai camerieri che però sono stati molto simpatici e comprensivi. Prezzi nella norma, tra i 15 e i 20 euro a persona per una pizza e qualche bevanda. Ci tornerò sicuramente."

"We were staying nearby and were just looking for a pizza to takeaway and chanced upon this place. Nothing exceptional from outside but indoor was so bustling with locals, it being a Sunday, and animated with a birthday party in the big hall and the food that came out looks amazing..the head waiter was very nice and was very fast with our order, despite being so busy. No pizzas for lunch but we ordered the pastas which were really fabulous and very good priced. We regretted not having our lunch/dinner there. I guess reservation is required. Highly recommended."
