) "Excellent service, friendly staff, delicious food and perfect location"
"Amazing place, with great traditional homemade food and reasonable prices."
"Ordered the Pasta with tomato sauce and it tasted like from the supermarket."
5 We wanted to eat somewhere more local and we found this little place in a park nearby. The food is very tasty and the host very hospitable. We had lasagna and ravioli with homemade sauce, a nice dessert and limoncello on the house! Totally recommend!
5 Fantastic place. The owner went above and beyond to make our visit the best possible. We were celebrating my Mum’s birthday and she felt very special and celebrated. The food was delicious and all coming from them region of Puglia. We had amazing time. Highly recommended to everyone
5 The place you feel at home! You can try local dishes but also whatever you soul desires. Lasagna is my personal favourite. But also the homemade olives, the aubergine, the homemade limoncello, the coffee mousse and.. basically everything. All this accompanied by the stillness of the park and the nice quiet conversations. A wonderful way to escape the hustle of the old city.
5 Caring and attentive owner who gave us recommendations when ordering and also on interesting places to see on our trip in region Puglia. The delicious food was made of ingredients from the owner's garden. As a bonus we also got an aperitive made from lemons which was homemade as well. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for something fresh, made with love and local.
5 Great home-made food. The owner very hospital and proud of her cuisine. The ingredients are fresh and from the owner's vegetable farm. I strongly recommend lasagne and lamb. For drink her lemon liquor-delicious. For dessert, homemade chocolate or orange cake served hot with ice-cream.
5 The food is delicious! It is a quiet place, nice to sit and surrounded by ‘green’. I had the Ravioli with Burrata and I asked for some grilled vegetables and she arranged it for me (it was not on the menu). She also served some olives and bread (of durum). And a limoncello from the house. I enjoyed every bit of it And a nice fact, pasta and sauce are selfmade and everything is from her own agricultural factory!
5 The food was very delicious. The woman who owns the place is very polite and treated us really nice. She gave us free appetisers and homemade limoncello. Greetings from Bulgaria
5 Amazing owner of this restaurant, very friendly and sweet! All vegetables are from her farm, pasta is handmade. Delicious food and drinks - we even got limoncello that she had made! A true paradise
