Nice friendly staff. We came here for happy hour and we ordered some drinks, they were very big. Music was loud, sometimes deafening. The bathroom was kind of dirty. But all the experience was good. Because our waiter was a very nice girl.

Lovely service, our waiter was nice and helpful. The food was beautifully presented, we ordered several main dishes, and everything was very tasty. The coffee was perfect too. Great location with a nice atmosphere. The only downside was the QR code menu in Italian.
