We were recommended to come here by friends. The salad we had as a starter was amazing, and the pizza was incredibly good. The chicken in the Pasta Alfredo was a bit dry, but it still tasted nice! Great service and a cozy place. If we were to mention something negative, it might be that it was a bit noisy.We are very satisfied!

Buonissimo!Our favorite restaurant in Ayia Napa. First and main the food was excellent for every one of us and It’s pretty like authentic Italian food. When we were first time there and making the first bite of my Stuffed Chicken Parma, It was a “wow” experience and the Tiramisu for the dessert was really yummy! There was also a good wine selection compared to other restaurants and the waiters really make sure there is wine in your glass. This only happened in a few other restaurants. Service was fast and there were also nice moments of conversation with staff, which they managed to do in their rush. Overall it was great to find that place and enjoy the food and services they offer.Highly recommended. 🇮🇹🍷

We ordered for takeout, the food was ready in a timely manner and it was delicious! We got the meat pizza, ravioli porcini, and green salad. The salad didn’t come with dressing, but the veggies in it were fresh and yummy without it

If you’re hungry, definitely drop by this nice restaurant! My boyfriend and I chose to eat here after visiting Ayia Napa for a day, and oh my god it felt like we rolled out of there😂We ordered an appetizer that’s meant for two people (or so the menu say), and as you see in the first picture, it was SO MUCH FOOD. We are no small eaters, we have a good appetite, and the mix of meats and cheeses were amazing. We both loved it, but to be able to have room for the dinner we had to cut ourselves off😂 I would say if you want this appetizer, be 3 people to share it to be able to finish it.The pizzas were really good. I ordered mine with extra cheese and it was very tasty. I was already a little full, and again, the “portion pizzas” are too big for one person. Would recommend sharing one💪 Luckily we got a too-go box so we ended up taking half of each pizza back with us to the hotel and ate it for late snack later that day 😂 only negative I can think of is that the egg on the pizza was kind of… hard? My boyfriend said it was “plasticy” because the fork couldn’t get through unless you really wanted to😂Don’t think this is enough to give a star down, I would definetly recommend this restaurant!! Staff was also respectful and kind 🫶
