I was pleasantly surprised with my main course (which is under "antipasti" on the menu but the portion was huge). I had the homemade pasta "fuzi" with sage, lemon and olive oil sauce and it was flavourful and delicious. We shared a desert called "grasnjaci"- a bit sweet for my taste but quite nice.

As for the food, their prices are considered reasonable, but it is due to quite a modest quantity of lamb meat they serve in a portion. Initially, we wanted to order dessert, but after being disgusted by flies, we...
