This place has an excellent ambience, we ordered Camarones (TACOS) & Gringas (Al Pastor)- Quesadillas, the Quesadillas was just amazing must try & also perfect quantity. I would like to mention Simon, who was very kind & took care with precision.
Would love to visit again!

Geppetto is a nice, cozy, hip Italian bistro with solid food & service. Great for night out with friends. Nice terrace. Highly recommend pizzas, carbonara, & lemon tart.

Sangria délicieuse & Éléonore nous a donné un superbe service ! La nourriture est succulente aussi & l'ambiance est agréable à souhait. La terrasse est spacieuse & bien disposée.
Je recommande si vous voulez passer une soirée tranquille dans la Petite-Bourgogne !

I've been here before & usually had good experiences, but this time was very disappointing. I asked for coffee when I arrived & it never came. My friend asked for a glass of water & never got it. The Prosecco for mimosas was warm, & there was a hair on the chilaquiles ( they replace it but anyways got charged) When we asked for extra plates to share food, one of them was dirty. The staff was nice, friendly & tried to help, but these issues really ruined our visit.

So disappointing. The tacos were okay. Not the best & not the worst. But the ceviche was terrible, a few pieces of fish poorly cut & I didn't feel the quality was good.

This place was excellent!! The quesadillas were genuinely some of the best I've had. The cheese was rich & perfectly melted, the meat was seasoned with real depth, & the guacamole was fresh, balanced, & full of flavor. Everything tasted like it was made with care & intention.

The music created an amazing atmosphere without being too loud. The staff were incredibly kind.

Portions were generous & the pricing was more than fair for the quality. It is rare to find a restaurant that gets food, service, & vibe right at the same time. This one is absolutely perfect.

Can't wait to return!!
