Food, service and atmosohere were all great. Quantity and quality of the rijsttafel both excellent. We were disappointed by the desserts, however. They were tiny and not that tasty.

Such a true Italian vibe! The food is absolutely delicious, and the service is super friendly, attentive, and fast. The place itself is really charming — feels like being back at one of my favorite spots in Milan. Definitely recommend!
