    Food was fantastic. Service as well. Didn't get the discount though as aspected through the booking service. Was also not aware of the 10% service fee... I feel like that's something that should be mentioned to tourists who visit for the first time. Anyway all good. Overall great experience. Very much enjoyed

    Great portions and reasonable value. I was a bit disappointed with the Carbonara, it was a bit gluppy but the wife’s pizza was very good. Wine list is limited, but again well priced.

    Service was great but unfortunately food was just about average. It's really cheap so you do get what you pay for, and it quick cheap pasta is your thing you will like this. Wine selections were pretty underwhelming too. The best dish we had was the toasted foccacia.

    We ordered via smart Phone and got 20 % reduced. 10 minutes later we were welcome in the restaurant in a lovely atmosphere at a perfect place at the window with the view to the canal. Our waitress was kind and friendly and absolutely uncomplicated and gave us a warm and pleasant feeling. The service was great the antipasto delicious and the whole meal was amazing. In the end the price was a positive surprise. We will come back

    One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to! My husband and I came back for a second night because it was so good. Highly recommend the bruschetta and cacio e Pepe especially. Overall very fairly priced, even moreso once you add in the discount. Highly recommend and will definitely come back if we are ever back in Milan!

    The food was incredible but we don't know why they allow reservations at 10 pm if the place closes at 11 pm. This made that the personal was super pushy in us ordering and finishing eating and while we were eating they where cleaning the whole place up and when we ended it was very awkward.

    A taste of Rome in Milan! The food was exceptional, capturing the essence of Roman cuisine with great flavor and execution. The lively vibe of the restaurant was also a highlight. My only minor suggestions for improvement would be to upgrade the outdoor seating for more comfort and to add some music to complete the inviting atmosphere.

    Simple dishes as garlic and spicy olive oil spaghetti and tiramisu are just delicious. That’s how u know when it’s good or not.

    The place is great and we had some lovely starters, the suppli which were fantastic. But the mains which should have been fantastic, I rate only 3 because both were excessively salty, to the point that we couldn't eat them. My son loved his pasta with oxtail but couldn't finish it due to the salt. I didn't like my saltimbocca at all; dry and soooo salty. The staff were so much though.

    The food is excellent, the carbonara is superbly prepared. Only the price of 3€ for the table setting (Kuver) is really absurd.

    A Wonderful Restaurant in a great Location. We had a lovely table near the windows, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy. The food was absolutely delicious — we really loved it! The portions were generous and rich. We tried pasta, pizza, salad, antipasti, and scaloppine — everything was very tasty. The service was also excellent: very nice and friendly. I definitely recommend this wonderful restaurant and hope to visit again soon! ❤️🔝

    Good food, pleasant staff, nice atmosphere. Don't know why the house wine isn't served with proper wine glasses 😂. Other than that, all good. I recommend the restaurant.

    The staff is really friendly and attentive. The food is average at best. Was also surprised as it was the first Italian local restaurant that didn’t even offer digestif/aperitif.

    Food was excellent, the restaurant was comfortable and the reservation process was easy. Prices were slowly higher than expected but the discount for making the reservation with the app made up for it.
