| Pros (+) |
Definitely the best Italian-style pizza in town (they have fresh basil!), and other options like beef fillet or seabass are also delicious. Among desserts, I found the cheesecake to be their best. They make their own bread and focaccia, and have a wide selection of Italian liquor including amaro and sambuca. The atmosphere is very warm and authentic, with nice pictures on the walls and none of the tacky golden/velvet/crystal decorations the locals identify with high-level restaurants. The chef (an Italian!) is flexible and available to make variations; the waiting staff can take orders in English and actually get it right. |

The layout is not perfect (a series of rooms are spread over a three-storey building), but their largest room can accommodate over 20 people anyway. Not crazy about the salads. |
| Overall | They have made HUGE progress in a year, both as concerns decoration and food quality. The outdoor seating during the summer provided a perfect venue to watch football games and listen to live music at the heart of the Italian concession. |
| Total Amount Spent | 180 for an average dinner |
| Would you recommend it? | Yes |
| Pros (+) | Due to bad weather, we were the only patrons, but the service staff was still attentive; ambiance is quite and pleasing...good for talking; Caesar salad was good; house wine was 28K and passable |
| Cons (-) | pizza choice was broad and we picked the wrong one,,,sparse ham and kind of "frozen pizza crust". I would recommend other entrees. |
| Overall | Good for italian food, but pizza not so much |
| Total Amount Spent | 320 (for 2) |

The way they do the job. A restaurant is a place to have dinner, and it costs you money. Not a place to spend money and it has food. The situation. Still not many people there. The drinks... really short and without ice... (campari) The food wasn't good enough. The dessert was awful. |
| Overall |
Maybe I went there in the wrong day. But St. Valentine's is a day to have a nice evening and dinner and they didn't help too much. 1.-Waiting for a friend to come I order a Campari. The quality is good, but damn, I'm not a mouse. Fill at least half of the glass (or put some ice). 2.-Only St. Valentine's menu... are you kidding me? well... 3.-They had 2 different St. Valentine's menu. One was almost 200 RMB each person and the other one was almost 400 RMB... and magic, the waitress gave the expensive one to the girls... Gave me a really bad impression. 4.-Not really good timing (being a little bit harsh). 5.-The gift for the girls... So, maybe I went in the wrong day. But again, if you can make a client happy in such important date... Edit: I've noticed I'm too harsh with a place I only went one time. So I plan to go there by myself someday and rewrite this review. |
| Total Amount Spent | 1000 for 4 people |
| Would you recommend it? | Unsure |
