Service hors pair, un vaste choix de vins s'offre à nous.
Repas très savoureux & généreux. J'ai aimé leur tiramitsu en dessert. Serveurs très familiers & courtois.
Nous avons toujours étés accueillis avec le grand sourire & une poignée de main du propriétaire.
Tout près de l'aéroport ! Nous étions un groupe de six à revenir de voyage. On nous a bien accueilli, chaque plat était succulent & le serveur était attentif & gentil :) Les prix sont abordables. Une belle découverte !
Pretty regular, nothing too impressive, but no negative comments overall. We ordered a margarita pizza, which is normally fresh mozzarella & basil, but it turned out to be just a cheese pizza. The service was fine however & they also have a driver (shuttle) with a minivan who picked us up & dropped us at a nearby hotel, which was nice.
Wonderful experience & fantastic food. The lasagna is in my top 10. Cute atmosphere & attentive staff. Don't let the location or surrounding creepy businesses discourage you from stopping by.. large wine list.
Went here with colleagues for dinner. The ambience was nice & calm. I ordered the shrimp fettuccine & all of us found our food to be delicious. The waiter was courteous & kept checking up on us to make sure we didn't need anything.
Good food & service. Beware however of restaurant provided shuttle service. After having driven us back from the restaurant shuttle driver demanded a tip. As is my custom to provide tips for good service I dont like to be shaken down for one. Unfortunately a fellow passenger felt intimidated by this a reluctantly gave him money. All this left everyone upset after what should have been a nice dining experience. I recommend using your own transportation or, if impossible find an alternative restaurant

I came here for lunch during the week, & overall it's a decent restaurant, especially given the location. The service was great, both waiters were very fast & attentive. The restaurant was clean & tables were well spaced. However, the food was ok & I had higher expectations for an Italian restaurant. The salad was very plain with a single olive & tomato slice & lots of salad leaves. I had parmigiana as main course & there was nothing wrong with it per say, but it was just ok. For dessert, we were served carrot cake which was actually really good. Otherwise, it's a decent place & I would probably come back if in that corner again.
It was dark. The specials were written on a black board in an illegible way. The waiter upsold us the starter & made an inappropriate comment while we were ordering & then was very dismissive as soon as we paid the bill.
