Reviews
Place was not crowded and we were greeted with a great service. I personally really liked carbonara - the meat was just right for me. They make it with guanciale so it might taste a bit different. My friend didn’t like the taste as it reminded her of liver, which she doesn’t like. Aperol was great, I didn’t like…
