Read moreWe had a fantastic visit to Pizzeria Hortus! The vibe of the restaurant was elegant and casual at the same time with a beautiful covered outdoor space that had a good mix of natural lighting and foliage.

I was exited by what I was going to visit next in this beautiful city so I didn’t pay attention to it and I rushed out. It is only later in the day that I have realised how dishonestly I had...
