Initial thoughts: My friend kept on insisting that I try this place, she always talks how this is her go-to place so we gave it a try. I am pretty happy with my decision!
Food and Ambience: I am a big fan of italian food so we ordered the Lemon Scampi Shrimp Pasta, Pulled Chicken sandwich and Toasted Dojima Roll for dessert. • Lemon pasta: I cannot understate how good this dish is, it is so unique!😍 The lemon butter sauce coats the velvety pasta and has such a citrus-y and a spicy kick to it from the chili flakes. The parsley adds a hint of freshness, i absolutely love it! Highly recommended! 🤤 • Pulled Chicken Sandwich: I was fond of the style of the dish, they're Panuozzo-styled. The bread was firm and nicely toasted and filled with chicken, charred tomatoes, and basil mayo if im not mistaken, alongside greens. Each bite is balanced and the ingredients don't overpower each other. It's a good snacking choice, it gets you pretty full!😋 We got a complementary Roasted vegetable sandwich alongside it as a complementary item, and it tasted as good as the other one. The vegetable selection was lovely and they did a good job with charring each of them, it really enhanced the flavours when mixed with the basil mayo. For a veggie sandwich, i'm impressed.👍 • Toasted Dojima Roll: Really a nice way to end it. The bread is soft, light, and toasted which is contrasted nicely with the smooth custard cream that is sweet alongside a chilled scoop of ice-cream. Harmonious when tasted all together. The thin slices of grapes is a subtle, but noticable touch in terms of both taste and presentation of the dish! I recommend this!😋
As for the ambience, the place is quite small so you might find it a bit cramped, but personally for me it really wasn't an issue. The interior is filled with varieties of artworks, which i found mesmerizing to look at. It's right beside the street of Jhamsikhel, and surprisingly, it isn't noisy at all. It has a calm, slow environment. However, a small suggestion I would give to the team is to improve the rooftop, it did feel slightly ignored and underdecorated! Besides than that, I really did not find anything that bugged me. If you want a relaxed, but tasty spot for dates, and maybe few casual hangouts, this place can help you w it! I am unsure about the parking situation but overall, I would give this place a nice...

The pizza was a delightful medley of flavors, featuring a perfectly crisp crust, rich tomato sauce, and a generous array of fresh toppings. Each bite was a symphony of tastes, leaving me thoroughly impressed with the culinary expertise behind this Italian classic.

Layer upon layer of perfectly cooked pasta, savory meat sauce, and creamy cheese melded together to create a lasagna that was nothing short of perfection. It was a hearty, satisfying dish that transported me straight to the heart of Italy.
As if the culinary journey couldn't get any better, I had the pleasure of savoring the lemon pepper steak. Cooked to perfection, the steak was tender, succulent, and infused with just the right balance of zesty lemon and aromatic pepper. It was a testament to the chef's skill in elevating classic dishes with a modern twist.

Read moreMy favorite Italian in Kathmandu! All the starters and especially the buff are outstanding! Also love love love the sandwiches! We come here at least once a week because it’s just so good and the variety is great.
(2 things for management: For me personally the pizza crust could be a bit wider (not thicker, just wider). I don’t know how others feel about it but that’s my personal opinion. Even though I like the simple design of the place, the seating is a bit too simple and cold with the metal chairs. It’s not inviting to spend a lot of time there, it’s more that „eat and go atmosphere“) I hope you don’t view my personal notes as criticism. They are just pointers. I love the place and the food and we‘ll be back in...
