Cons:

  • "The main courses were a bit weak I think, great ideas, good ingredients but something was missing."
  • "I ordered tiramisu but I didn’t like it because I couldn’t get any taste of coffee and unfortunately they put some strawberry sauce on it(shouldn’t be) and fresh strawberries."
  • "The only thing we didn't enjoy was the goat cheese, cheesecake.. but I think it's more of an acquired taste."
  • "A pasta with mascarpone and lemon sauce tasted like they just dumped a bunch of heavy cream on the pasta, faint lemon taste."
  • "Ordered proscutto pizza, way too salty, meatballs were bland, pasta was drowned in sauce, porkchops tasted like unseasoned meat."
