“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 7, 2012

Excellent food, service is second to none. I have never seen waiters and waitresses who care about customers so much. Irrespective of how many people are present, they still strive to give you a personal touch and make you fell valued. Keep it up!!!

“Disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 7, 2012

We went here because the friends we were travelling with had been before and had enjoyed the food. However, we all ended up disappointed this time. The food bore scant resembalnce to the description on the menu, and was quite bland and uninteresting, especially the vegetarian options. The pizzas were good though.

“really not worth”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 16, 2012

We've been there, cause it's recommended by Lonely Planet guidebook but...first of all it is expensive, we were waiting for 2 coffee latte over 0,5 hour. At the end the waiter gave us the receipt- blank, so we asked him to give us fulfiled. He bring us fold receipt and when we checked it - it appeared that he gave us an old one for the same amount. (he wanted to steal this money).
All in all we were disgusted...
