Ruoka oli oikein hyvää ja annokset suuria. Asiakaspalvelu oli erittäin ystävällistä. Ylipäätään työntekijöiden välillä oli ihana kemia ja hyvä tunnelma.

מקום משפחתי קטן וטעים!!! נתקלנו בו במקרה כשחיפשנו איפה לאכול בקרבת הוטל פלורה הכל מגיע חם, טרי ומתובל כך שמתאים גם לחיך הישראלי, יש מנות בשריות וגם צמחוניות, קלאסיות מאוד, מחיר יחסית נגיש, יחס אדיב וחם, לנו היה תור קצר שמהר מאוד הסתיים בקיצור - שווה ביקור!

Came in on a busy Wednesday night without a reservation and was promptly given a table for four. We are the eggplant parmigiana and scialatielli with meatballs, and fresh cherry tomatoe bruschetta. Everything was beyond delicious! I’d eat here every night if I lived nearby… ragú tastes just like my Nonna’s. Amazing!

Tutto molto buono! La Parmigiana una menzione particolare! Si sentiva proprio il gusto della melanzana! Polpette buonissime e scioglievoli ottimo il pomodoro della passata, gli scialatielli molto buoni! Anche lo gnocco alla sorrentina buono il condimento ma lo gnocco in sé lo avrei preferito più casereccio. Devo dire tutto ottimo! Forse 8€ per un calice di vino è esagerato e 20€ per 3 polpette pure… però quando mangi bene ci passi sopra dai! Alla Prossima

Essen ist qualitativ super. Jedoch sind die Portionen klein. Wir sind hungrig wieder gegangen. Dafür die Preise hoch. Und das Restaurant ist an einer Hauptstraße. Wenn man draußen sitzt, kann man sich kaum verstehen. Der Service wie überall in der Neapel-Region mittelmäßig.

10/10 recommend Legit the best Italian food I’ve ever had. This is my first time in Italy and my caleçons city so I’m super happy to have found this Gem. I went around 7 and it was almost full and filled up quickly. Less busy than some other places closer to the city center but I bet it’s more affordable and just as good if not better quality.

Just okay Booked a table based on previous reviews and first the positives: the main courses were excellent, beautifully presented, tasted wonderful. Negatives: desserts - avoid, hugely disappointing to be honest. Staff were helpful but it felt like looking after you was a chore!! There are nicer places to eat and better value
