- I started with the mushroom soup as suggested by the waiter. It was just perfect. Served with two slices of toasted bread decorated with a line of olive oil, this soup is fresh and light at the same time. I enjoyed every single spoon of it. A gentle feel of aromas caressing my palatal buds
- The Bruschetta Bottega is incredible. The simplest dish ever made tastes so heavenly. The ingredients used are so unique. Unbelievable! The crunch, the softness... cheese, ham, greenery, bread: a complete mix of passionate ingredients simply layered one over the other in a nice mountain of colors waiting to be devoured
- Florentines is simply yummy. Have you have ever imagined the Lebanese Markouk bread with tapenade and goat cheese. This plate marked me more than all the others. Light, thin and crunchy with a touch of finesse that really makes you want to talk about it instantly. I couldn't stop saying: Bravo! Imagine a thin crusty layer of Markouk bread heated with melted goat cheese in the oven - all roaming around between your tongue and palate with a strong taste of the tapenade which only adds strength to this unique creation
- The Primavera Pizza with its rich ingredients can be described as a piece of art. It's colors and shape form a nice looking round UFO. It doesn't stop here as the taste is close to perfection.
- I loved or even fell in love with the salmon pizza. The sour effect created by the lemon slices is like a fairy tale. Salmon slices layered on a thin Italian crust covered with capers and unique and beautifully pealed lemon pieces. Every bite is a journey of dreams. You feel the sour and lemony touch caressing your palatal buds with every bite
- The menu needs to be changed into thicker and cleaner papers
- The place needs an uplifting soon
- The terrace chairs and tables are from a very low quality
