Gerne feiern wir mit Dir auch Deinen Geburtstag oder den Abschied aus dem Junggesellentum!“Benvenuti a Piccola L'Originale!Maurizio Giglio

Excellent service waitress attentive and informative. Food was excellent , clams with pasta and the steak with mushroom and pasta were excellent. The calamari starter was divine and the desert of lemon cheesecake also very good. My only concern was the stairs to the toilets were steep and not that well lit, the tables were a little too close together but still felt intimate . All in all throughly recommend the restaurant

There was no one at the host stand to greet and seat me for almost 20 minutes. Had to go to the bar and ask the bartender to get someone. After that initial issue, the food and service were lovely
