The place is nicely decorated and with a beautiful view. A hostess will greet you and hand you cards which you'll use to make your orders. For this, you will find a sit, and then go to the different counters available depending on what you want to order. You might need to queue in more than one counter if you want pasta and pizza, for example, but due to the variety, queues tend to be short.

We waited 60 minutes for our pizzas after standing in line for 30 min. The quality of the ingredients was good and the pizza itself was okay (in my personal opinion too doughy). Not much entertainment for small kids. Price wise it was rather expensive for the size of the pizza, although they did have a decent amount of toppings.
