Włoska (choć Polska :)) „Amatorska” tylko że z większą ilością dań do wyboru. My piliśmy drinki, piwko i digestivo i było ekstra. Przy okazji dostaliśmy super tipy co warto zobaczyć w Genui. Polecam!

The food is supposed to be great, but we can late at night and so I can only rate the drinks - they were excellent. Nice atmosphere.

La prima volta siamo venuti quest’inverno. Non sapevamo dove andare e, un po’ per caso, siamo capitati in questo bar. Abbiamo già passato un momento piacevole e poi ci siamo tornati quest’estate un po’ per abitudine: non è cambiato nulla, il personale è molto cordiale, gli alcolici sono di ottima qualità e l’atmosfera è sempre quella giusta. Ovviamente ci torneremo! Andateci ad occhi chiusi! 🌈
