Just had the Scallopine al Lemon at this restaurant. The meat was so tender it was almost unnecessary to use a knife. Delicious. Very welcoming atmosphere and a feeling that the customers were sharing the secret of finding this place in the heart of Hilversum. Only problem is that the food was so good I ate too fast. Should have slowed down to enjoy it for longer. The waitress had the most beautiful green eyes that I've ever seen but as soon as I got my desert - some incredible lemoncello tiramisu - I completely forgot her and devoured it in a few seconds. Again, too fast. It's a place to enjoy slowly. Perfect for a date or even alone. The owners are 2 young Italian brothers that somehow managed to bring a piece of Italy to The Netherlands.

Bravo ragazzi! *The cook was so young I think he probably learned how to cook in the kindergarten....
Read moreAnniversary dinner here and first visit for us. Staff were friendly and welcomed us. Good wine menu with good quality wines. Starters were a little hit and miss.

This was really disappointing- thick solid cream and very little taste. My husband ordered a cappucino and didn’t drink it as coffee was watery and tasted poorly. Our bill came to €110 for 2 people for the food mentioned and two glasses of wine each…. We felt this was rather expensive for the...
Read moreIncredible food, super friendly and welcome staff, and a really nice atmosphere. I had the burrata as a starter and it was very good. As the main course I had the spaghetti Arrabbiata and it definitely did not disappoint, the arrabbiata was really good (it had a very nice balance between spicy and a bit salty) and I was given a really good portion size. The atmosphere was really captivating as it gave a real authentic Italian vibe and the authentic Italian vibe didn't just come from the atmosphere but also the authentic tasting Italian food which really made it feel like a little Italy.
The staff was also very friendly and acted professional but in a fun way!
Will definitely come here...
