The food is beyond reproach. The prices are acceptable. The service is nice and helpful. However, the music played outside is quite loud and not typically Italian. It's bearable, but not necessarily nice.

Service was very good when we arrived but seemed to get slower as the meal went on, despite the restaurant emptying out. Meal was around 5-6:30pm. The pizza's and lasagne ware lovely, but the carbonara was thick and almost powdery.

The location is great, the atmosphere of the restaurant was very inviting, and we didn't regret to trust our eyes. We had to veggie pizzas, Margherita and Funghi, both were tasty. Americano coffee also good. The waiters were nice, attentive. The table was shaky and the street sellers come in every 10 minutes, but the overall experience was good.

The only reason we've selected this restaurant was that they've set up a big TV to watch football (champions league final) and it was half an hour till the whistle and we wanted to watch the game. So I've checked the rating when we were already seating and was kinda scared. But it was quite good! The food was good, not the best in the world, but 4/5 for sure. The service was also good and quick despite the number of people. The prices were just fine. Not the place I will definitely recommend to anyone, but if you are already nearby it's a totally fine choice.
