Deceptive Experience – Avoid at All Costs
Unfortunately, this was the worst dining experience of our entire trip. The positive reviews appear to be either paid for or fake, which is incredibly misleading. While the staff member at the counter was very friendly, it felt like a tactic to distract from the quality of the food — which was shockingly poor.
Despite our gut instinct telling us to leave, we stayed and ordered. Big mistake. The food was clearly pre-made, microwaved in plain sight, and tasted like it had been sitting out all day. The gnocchi and pasta were inedible, and the eggplant was so bad I had to spit it out. We ended up throwing our meals away just a few steps outside the door.

The price was very expensive so by the other comments I must have been ripped off as a tourist. 35€ was a little bit too much for what we had. Unfortunately I can’t recommend, but the lady was very kind even though she...
