We loved this place so much we went there twice in one week. The pizza is thin crust and made in a wood burning oven. The wait staff were friendly and the price was excellent. Loved it.

Nice open air italian cafe. Pastas and pizzas all tasted delicious, but the pasta portions were a little on the small size.

My husband and I ate pizza. It was unbelievable good. But paying the same money than for a pizza in Switzerland looked a little bot too much for us. No kids menu and not possible to have half portions... Difficult to choose for my three years old kid. Service was slow and not trying to help much. Finally mosquitos literally... More

This restaurant was vey good and service was excellent. More American prices for sure, but food was very authentic, especially the wood fire pizza. We had the tomato and basil pizza. Very tasty.

We got there a little later and the pizza hit the spot after a day full of activity. This is a wood fire pizza and Italian place. The pizzas were smaller, thin, and cooked to a crispy perfection. There were 4 of us and we ordered a skald to share and three pizzas. Plenty of food for all. The place... More
