Overall the experience was good. However, the man in the back handling our dough, I think his name was Graeme, was able to prefect our visit. His good looks, charm & clever hands kept us wanting more… The way his wrist movements translated smoothly to the fingers on be able the dough was something I would never experience as a different pizza joint.

Ce qui était censé être juste un arrêt rapide pour un dessert a fini par se transformer en l'un des moments les plus délicieux de la journée.

Nous sommes allés à la cafétéria pour essayer le traditionnel bomboloni au Nutella accompagné d'un café. Dès notre arrivée, la vitrine avec les pizzas a attiré notre attention &, après avoir goûté les bonbons, c'était tout simplement le coup de foudre. Le dessert était si délicieux que nous avons rapidement réalisé que ce ne serait pas seulement un arrêt pour un café.

Nous avons fini par transformer le dessert en une petite collation italienne : nous avons commandé une pizza & un Aperol pour l'accompagner, & c'était la combinaison parfaite.

Nous avons également choisi de nous asseoir à l'extérieur, car la journée était magnifique, & je crois que l'atmosphère de l'endroit a joué un rôle énorme pour rendre l'expérience encore plus spéciale. S'asseoir à l'extérieur, profiter de la vue, le temps agréable, c'était exactement le genre de moment qui n'était pas dans les plans, mais qui s'est avéré être l'un des meilleurs.

Je le recommande vivement, surtout pour ceux qui aiment transformer un simple arrêt pour un café en une expérience délicieuse & sans hâte. 🇮🇹☕🍕🍹

Great selection of Roman-style pizzas. I tried the smoke cheese & potato. It was tasty, but wished it had been heated up for longer (I like the cheese gooey). Lovely patio to enjoy a coffee, pastry or meal & pass the time.

Très bonnes pizzas & délicieux Aperol Spritz. J'aurais cependant aimé qu'il y en ait plus en stock, ils étaient à court pour une deuxième tournée.
