Nice place with a sunny terrace. The food is very good and the service welcoming. The fish salad we had was very tasty and the ham plate also good and well served.

Nicht nur ist das Essen wirklich unvergleichbar, sondern auch der Service ist zuvorkommend, höflich und unfassbar sympathisch. Leider habe ich seinen Namen vergessen, aber ein Kellner ist mir besonders gut aufgefallen. Er hat blonde Locken und war ein recht junger Mann. Ich habe selten einen so guten Service erlebt. Vielen Dank für diesen windervollen Abend!

The pasta recommended by staff tasted very new to us(in a nice way!), we liked it a lot. The pizza is made with a pizza kiln, and it’s a must to order them! The only bad thing is there were too many flies around us when we were eating, which made us lose a bit of an appetite. Will still recommend to come tho
