"Found this place by accident on a rainy Sunday in March. I was going to have the salmon which was shown on the board outside but when we were given menu the salmon was now "loup" (not wolf but sea bass) with caponata. One of the best dishes I have ever had."

"2nd time we eat there in a month and very happy each time. The service is top notch, portions are generous and the food is really nicely cooked and seasoned. We tried the tuna tartare, the beef tartare, some pasta, the escalope milanaise and the pizza and everything was lovely. The wine selection is good to. The team is dynamic and smiley and we cannot wait to come back already! Thanks"
