Walk by. Not worth stopping in. Food wasn’t great. Pasta was bland. Menu items were left out of the meal. They were most likely understaffed. So many other choices in the area.
The waitress would not make eye contact with us and they forgot about our dessert that we ordered at the start of our meal.

The food was good. Ren, who served me, was exceptional. Polite, attentive, always aware, cheery, and with a great manner (I witnessed her go beyond the required service level for the couple next to me👏). I work in the service sector, and believe me, there are not that many Rens about. If you read this, Ren, please keep up the great work - it really does make a difference to customers (well, most of them!🤣). David

El lugar está bien ubicado y la comida parece ser de buena calidad
Pero nunca pude acceder ya que llegando en diferentes horarios después de las 20 ya no te quieren recibir alegando que la cocina cierra a las 21
El trato de las diferentes personas fue pésimo
No lo recomiendo sino queres pasar un mal momento o si queres cenar a las 19 así te atienden

Fuí durante tres dias seguidos a cenar, por diversos motivos no pude conseguir una mesa.
Falta de empatía del personal, con trato displicente y poco adeptos a su trabajo.
Mesas vacias (un 80% aproximadamente) y pocas ganas de atender a la gente.
Los tres dias la misma excusa; el horario de cierre de la cocina, que nunca fué el mismo, ya que fueron tres personas distintas las que nos recibieron no mas allá de la puerta.
Una muy mala experiencia en un hermoso pais, que se merece que atiendan mejor a una familia de turistas.

COMPTE AMB L'OFERTA DE 4 PLATS PER XX LLIURES, que no es pot aplicar als estrangers. Del menjar no tenim cap queixa, menjar italià bo. Però vam sortir amb sensació d'enganyats per una oferta que anunciaven a l'entrada i que no ens van aplicar. Hi havia una pissarra on deia que podies agafar 4 plats de pasta i pizza per 40 i pico lliures. A l'entrada vam dir que volíem l'oferta i ens van dir que d'acord. Al demanar a la cambrera, no en sabia res i ho va anar a preguntar i ens va dir que d'acord.
Però quan va arribar el moment de pagar, l'oferta no sortir enlloc. Al queixar-nos ens van dir que ens havíem de registrar a una app per tenir l'oferta. Pero al intentar descarregar-nos l'App, aquesta no estava disponible per a mòbils d'altres països. Així que advertim als estrangers que tindran aquest problema i que a l'establiment no t'avisen.
