    We ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara, Tartufata, and Margherita Pizza, and each dish was absolutely delicious--perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. Also, Nutella calzone was so tasty. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant experience. The outdoor seating is a standout feature, offering a cozy and charming ambiance, especially during the Christmas season with all the festive decorations. It's a great spot to enjoy a meal while soaking in the holiday spirit. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the atmosphere!
