What Diners Say
"The Pizza and ftira were both excellent (they have a wood fired oven so the floor is going to be high), the house wine was cheap, and the server was super nice. 2 high quality pizzas, and a bottle of wine for a little over €30. Well worth it."

"The food is absolutely gorgeous. We had grilled mozarella wrapped in parma ham with fig jam, my vegetarian partner had grilled courgettes in tomato sauce and we could not believe how good it was. For mains tortelloni with salmon and barcette which was also beautiful. Moses has provided best service ..."
