I tried the pasta al rino, one of their classics and they were DELICIOUS: just perfectly seasoned and the beef wasn't hard to chew. It was quiet when I was there (diner time) which was pleasant. Friendly staff, quick service and fair prices -> 100% recommended to all my pasta aficionados. Plus I loved the fact that the place wasn't overcrowded with tourists!

Pasta al dente very good! Tried the truffle asparagus and it was very good. My friends also ordered other type of pasta and it was delicious as well. The female waiter was very nice but the male one was not that nice and didn’t make an effort to try to communicate with us. Also tried the red wine and it was good. The espresso was not that good but at the end we are in Germany, cannot expect amazing coffee.

I got here by accident on a Saturday and I was really impressed about everything. Nice set up, warm people, delicious food and great compliment limoncello. The pasta and the sauces were delicious. The limoncetta as appetitive was great also. I would come back for the gnocchis, they are not in the menu but definitely ask for it, if you are lucky you will try the best of the best. At the end they offer limoncello on the house and it was really amazing.

We came here as a lunch at around 4pm. Of course the restaurant was half empty which suited us. The pasta is really tasty, al dente and eye catching. I had the ragout (spaghetti bolognese)

I arrived around 10:20 after walking a few blocks from my apartment. I had read great reviews and noticed that this place ranked highly in Google searches for pizza and pasta in the area, so I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, the kitchen was closing, so I wasn’t able to dine in. However, they kindly offered me a takeaway pizza, which was ready in less than 15 minutes. The pizza was absolutely delicious (pizza lover over here) and definitely worth the visit! Great job, guys—I'll be back next time to enjoy the full experience!"
