```“ We had the most delicious Italian food here—it was an amazing experience, and we can’t wait to come back for the spaghetti and pizza again. The prices are very reasonable. For 52, we enjoyed two small pints of beer, one large pint, spaghetti, a Diavola pizza, and the Salami Lazy Cake dessert. Considering the quality and taste, it was great value compared to other places, though spaghetti portion was slightly small. The ambiance is cozy, with authentic and charming decor that adds to the overall experience. ”
“ The food was delicious and the waiter, Ben was kind enough to make sure my baked potato dish didn't have any garlic in them, by swapping the first dish with another one he was sure about. ”
“ An intimate squeeze for seating but very hospitable atmosphere and welcoming to non-italian speakers. The risotto was delightful and the pistachio pasta was delicious. Worth a visit if you want a great experience for a great price. ”
“ We ate dinner here after having some drinks along the canal. We split the pasta tagliatelle with bolognese sauce and also had the steak and lamb shank for dinner. The meat portions were quite large. Very good experience overall. Great wine selection as well. Would highly recommend. ”

Very tasty recommendations, very nice ambience and very tasty food. Especially at the end the dessert, the tiramisu. We didn’t want the meal to end.
