Great food, great service, and great wine with helpful advice. We can highly recommend everything we tried: ham and cheese appetizer, ravioli with cheese and spinach, pasta with duck, and an amazing hummus with sheep. They even had horse tartare on the menu.

Little gem not too far from the city centre. The pasta was delicious, the sharing boards were great especially the Parma ham. We forgot our umbrella there and the staff went out of their way and cycled to find us after we have left. Amazing service!

That was awesome. Prosciutto (Ham) was stellar, got a tagliere (a plethora of ham and other good stuff), and some first dishes for me and girlfriend. Booked a reservation for 2 and got immediate reception.
