10/10For sure one of the best restaurants in the city. Definitely recommend it. Not the first time we’ve been here and certainly not the last. Food and service were on point!

10/10What a great place to go to dinner too. We made reservations as we expected it to be busy on a Thursday night and it kinda was but the restaurant is set up nicely in a way that doesn't make it feel cramped at all. Food: Absolutely love it. If you like Italian food, and not just pizza but actual Italian food, this is a lovely place to go to. We had some pane as a first plate, lovely bruschetta with roasted paprika and burrata and the secondia piatti (or the main dish) was a goat cheese pasta for me and a duck breast tomato pasta for my partner. The pasta is fresh and so delicious. I forgot to take a picture cause I just wanted to eat it. Finished up with a cannoli for dessert (see picture) that was absolutely mouthwatering. the portion sizes are just right and the price is really decent. Also they have an amazing wine menu which I sadly couldn't try out due to being pregnant so I will come back for that later. Service: The staff is very friendly and helpful. They made me a virgin gin tonic and we're very helpful with figuring out which dishes were safe to eat. Atmosphere: We had a lovely table in the corner. As a neurodivergent person going to restaurants can be quite exhausting even though I love going for dinners and trying new foods. I asked if we could be seated in a corner and we had the most quiet corner in the restaurant. The lighting is soft and there is nice music which isn't loud at all. I could easily focus on my food and my conversation with my partner without distraction. The people closest to us weren't even close due to the nice wide setup of the restaurant. This was a great experience and we will definitely come back again.

9.5/10Nice cozy atmosphere and good service! We ordered the menu Compagna, a menu with a great variety of delicious foods with something for even the most discerning eater. The salmon was awesome! cooked to medium rare perfection! The restaurant itself was busy, but we could converse easily. All in all, great value for money!

7.5/10Beautiful and quaint restaurant. The food is slightly overpriced for the quality; however, that is not to say the food is not extremely good. After dining in the restaurant more than three times, I feel as though the restaurant does deserve an 8.0. Its deterring qualities include lack of communication between service staff and the chef, this has happened three times I have visited. Excuses or truth, it's gone cold and unforgiving. Not to take from the service but the staff just lacked experience in my opinion (waiter for 11 years), as people they were genuine and polite, but lacked proper serving experience, speed, and desire to give the best service they could. The latter fault is more likely due to the house not paying staff enough or not involving them in the process of ruining the restaurant as "their own restaurant", which they "are the face of." I will be very likely be returning and I look forward to seeing what changes or persists.

2/10The food is not italian at all. It seemed as if everything was bought at the super market and sold to you at a very high price. The carbonara was horrendous, it had a raw egg yolk on top and was swimming in this weird cream.

9/10Really great atmosphere, high quality food, and nice range for choice of drinks. However, pasta was less authentic Italian than expected, but still good flavor and experience!

7.5/10Very nice atmosphere and cool staff. While the main was very good (lamb pasta dish), the minestrone was undercooked and watery. Antipasta overpriced.

6.5/10The food was more salty than it should be. The chef should be more careful with food because i ordered vegetarian and got bacon in the salad.

9/10It is one of the best restaurants in Groningen. While service is a little bit slow the qualities of all courses are pretty good.
