Magnifique petit restaurant qui offre l'option de manger dehors si la température le permet ! Agréablement surprise par la fraîcheur & l'originalité des plats, de la pizza pochette maison jusqu'au classique carbonara avec les pâtes les plus fraîches que j'ai pu goûter dans ma vie ! Vous trouverez de tous sur le menu à un prix très abordable! Nous avons aussi adoré notre serveur qui était excellent! Je recommande fortement.
