Reviews

Great service with good food! I came solo for reservation at 7pm, ordered a Hugo spritz & the beef tartar for a starter. Good and was nice to try something I normally wouldn’t have. Fresh tasting ingredients. I ordered the spaghetti amatriciana for my main and it was so good. Great view before and during sunset. Never…
