The best pizza and truffle pasta in Italy. The taste is amazing and the staff are very friendly. Better to make a reservation.

I ordered draft Dolomiti beer, a pizza, and a glass of Chianti wine. I’m not an expert on pizza, but I liked it very much. I had the Neapolitan with anchovies. The beer was chilled and had a nice foam. I was served by two charming young ladies. The service was quick. The bottle of wine was shown to me before pouring. The place also offers pasta prepared directly in the middle of a large wheel of cheese. It’s an interesting sight. The coperto is 3 euros.
