“Open on Shabbat! ”
Not many places are open on Shabbat during the day so we were very happy to find this place ... and so were everyone else in the restaurant! It's a quite a big place and so could fit several big groups. We ordered the focaccia and were not disappointed. We underestimated the size though...
MoreNot many places are open on Shabbat during the day so we were very happy to find this place ... and so were everyone else in the restaurant! It's a quite a big place and so could fit several big groups. We ordered the focaccia and were not disappointed. We underestimated the size though because the bread was the size of a large pizza! It was very good nevertheless. The only thing negative about the place was that it's quite noisy with the Latin/dancing music playing in the background and the sound from all the groups around. Not really the place for a romantic meal.
Less“A Good place opened on Friday night”
Went for Friday's dinner. Good we had reservation! Place was packed and very noisy (it really spoiled the dinner). We had green salad, huge focaccia bread, eggplants in vinegar, and cauliflower. The main dishes were too much for us after all what we had.
“I do not recommend it”
We were about 20 people at a restaurant celebrating a family event. Half of the people returned the dishes because they came cold or not properly cooked. The food was not tasty and certainly did not justify the price. Maybe dairy dishes are better, but I would not go back to the meat.
“Aweful Restaurant”
Stincky as you can smell the cigarettes everywhere, very loud due to music and crowd, food is medioccre and expensive.
