TLDR; This place uses manipulative tactics to get people to pay in cash and serve 6.5/10 pizza.

This place left a lot to be desired.

I read a lot of older reviews saying this place had been great. I read more recent reviews that stated that the food and service declined. We ended our 17 day trip of Europe to find the latter.

The service leading to dinner was so-so. The food was objectively fine. I had heard of number of people say it was the best pizza they had ever eaten. It was fine, probably a 6,5 at best. The house red wine was great; get that, you’ll need it to deal with the payment.

To the fun stuff. As our pizza came out, our waitress asked if we had been told that their credit card machine was down. We had not been told that and did not have enough cash for dinner on us. We said we could go to an ATM and figure it out and she did a nod to the food runner and the guy brought out the pizzas (before wine, water, salad and silverware — They were not slammed by any means with multiple tables open. Please get it together). We then saw the table next to us get up and go up to the counter and pay with card. I knew something was up and went to pay with card at the POS. The owner was caught off guard about me wanting to pay at the POS and told me to pay at the table. Only to return and say that I would need to come back inside to pay, likely to ensure that other patrons didn’t know the card reader was up and running.

The management needs to stick to cash only payment if that’s what they desire. Manipulation is not necessary.
