Burayı çok beğeniyorum. Atmosfer, yemekler, servisi ... her şey güzel. One of my favorite Italian restaurant in Istanbul so far😋👍 Update Agostos 2025: Maalesef her şey tamamen değişmiş; yemeği, kalitesi, servisi ve menüsü. Muhtemelen son gelişim oldu. Cheeseburger sipariş verdim, içinde etten başka hiçbir şey yoktu. Ne marul vardı, ne domates, hiçbir şey! İçecek olarak her zamanki gibi frozen çilekli margarita sipariş ettim. Garsona da sordum: “Hâlâ frozen olan var mı?” diye. “Evet” dediler. Ama hiç her zamanki gibi değildi frozen da değildi Hem de bayağı pahalıydı😒🤦‍♀️ Update August 2025: Unfortunately, everything has completely changed — the food, the quality, the service, and the menu. It was probably my last visit. I ordered a cheeseburger, and there was nothing in it except the meat. No lettuce, no tomato — nothing! As for the drink, I ordered my usual: frozen strawberry margarita. I even asked the waiter, “Do you still have the frozen one?” They said yes. But it wasn’t like before at all, and it wasn’t frozen either. And on top of that, it was quite expensive 😒😒🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
