Amazing value for money. I had a steak that could easily compete with those served at much more expensive restaurants, yet it cost less than half the usual market price. Highly recommended!
Very delicious and affordable lunch menu. Very kind and welcoming staff
What an amazing experience. Wanted to try something unique and unavailable in North America. Giorgio and his wife were spectacular hosts and treated us like Gold. I think he sensed our excitement and proceeded to arrange a tasting menu of all of his horse meat specialties from Bresola, salami, fresh fennel sausage, carpaccio (which was one of the best in my life) plus the standard horse tartar that he sells in the showcase. He picked out an amazing bottle of wine and we ate like kings on a little high top table just outside the doors. A meal and experience to remember
