Délicieuse nourriture, super bon service. J'ai particulièrement aimé les arancinis & les raviolis. Je recommande x1000.

This is easily one of the best Italian restaurants we've been to, & we've been to A LOT. The place's ambience & decor is lively & beautiful, with twinkling lights & hanging lanterns from the ceiling. The staff was efficient & friendly. Our reservation was for a Friday at 7 PM & we left around 8:15. having enjoyed a three-course meal. It did feel a little bit hectic, kind of like when they expect you to dine quickly so that they can free up the table. Thus, if you are planning on a long relaxing meal, this may not be the place for you. Maybe it's less busy during weekdays.

Situé dans le vieux port, c'est un restaurant italien. Pas grand, mais se sentir à l'aise. Bruschetta est choisi comme entrée. Carbonara spaghetti est le plat de résistance. Voilà, commencez à savourer!
