"Umami bomb! I came here at 6pm, which is very early for Italian dinner but I could enjoy the quietness in the beautiful place alone. I notice there are ash trays, so if you don’t like second hand smoke with your food (who would!?), I suggest you come earlier. The taste was just excellent! The squid ink pasta has so much ink and just enough sourness of tomato sauce in it. Even though it just looks black, but there are layers of texture and flavors in it such as squid meat and some sort of vegetables that provides crunchiness. Definitely not dull and only recommend! I also love the mussels, very fresh and flavorful. If you are in this area, you must try this place! Oh and did I mention the yard is very beautiful menu price as of May 2025"

"Ein verstecktes und romantisches Lokal in einem Hinterhof. Die Kellner sind sehr nett, aufmerksam und geduldig. Das Ambiente ist super schön. Man kann nur draußen sitzen. Essen ist lecker und es sind sehr große Portionen! Preis-Leistung top. Außerhalb vom Lokal sind sehr schöne Graffitis zu sehen. Nur zu empfehlen!!"
