    He ido varias veces pero la pasta estaba muy caliente a tal punto que la pasta se hacía difícil de comer y saborear. Deberían mejorar la iluminación.

    We had very good appetizers and expected the fresh pastas to be as good. Alas both pasta dishes we ordered were salty and their sauces were overbearing to the point of making it impossible to enjoy them. I hope the chef reviews his sauces both in preparation and in presentation.

    El sitio estaba bastante concurrido y nos tocó en un salón bastante desafortunado, pero la comida y atención fueron impecables, el vino recomendado un poco malo pero la culpa es nuestra por no conocer más…. Muy rico todo

    Impeccable service. Fantastic, flavorful, fresh options from starters, for which we opted to go with the octopus, to the agnolotti and salmon, to dessert (we chose the ricotta and tiramisu, both wonderful), it was all quite excellent. Will be returning with a more empty stomach to try more options.
