Fantastic bar with Italian treats perfect for sharing. One of the best Cosmopolitans I have ever had. Say hello to the bartender Angel! The menu of gins impressed our group. They also have a fantastic IPA on tap. On a charming square in a friendly neighborhood, perfect for meeting up with friends. Can’t wait to return!

I came today for lunch with one of my colleague. I am rather demanding in terms of food and restaurant, not to say boring. This place took words of my mouth. I cannot really describe it. However, I will try to. The food is exquisite. It is made with love, you can feel it. It is a fine and generous food at the same time. It feeds the belly with its generosity, the head with the explosion of flavors in the mouth, the heart with the warmth it puts in. You arrive stressed, or tired, you put the food in your mouth and you are on a cloud. It feeds your emotions too. Be ready to fell in love. For an hypersensitive person like me, it's paradise ! I would like to note the kindness of the waitress. She did an excellent job with a smile and kindness. I felt warmly welcomed, without it being too much or intrusive. The restaurant itself has a balanced and pleasant decoration, where you enjoy sharing this amazin gmoment. Thank you all the team for creating this!

Very good bar. They have the tasty Illy coffee! If you go for a cerveza or aperitivo, together with your drink you get a nice small tray of Italian mortadella, with grissini and cheese or something similar. Usually, good choice of wine and food.
