It's beautifully decorated, especially at the bar and especially on the first floor. Super cozy. The staff is always extremely friendly and quick. They're happy to help if you're undecided. The food (so far, a superb burger and a special pasta dish) has been absolutely top-notch. Definitely worth a visit. Reservations are recommended on weekends. I'm looking forward to the next time.

After calling ahead to inquire whether a table for two was available around 5:30 pm, I was told, We can manage that. There are plenty of free tables. Arriving 20 minutes later, I found almost all the tables outside to be empty, yet we were assigned a small, rickety table in the furthest corner. I repeatedly asked if we could have one of the other tables and explained that we only wanted to grab a quick bite. The waitress responded to my request with utter rudeness and showed no interest in accommodating us in any way. After standing somewhat aimlessly in front of the empty tables for a minute, a man (apparently the owner) approached us and declared in a very unfriendly tone that we should either take the table assigned to us or the table by the entrance! We then took the table by the entrance. The food itself was ultimately acceptable. When we went to pay and I pointed out our Citti for Two voucher, the waitress reacted incredibly rudely and said that we should have mentioned the voucher when we made the reservation. Just so you know: I did mention it when I made the reservation by phone. Twice, the waitress, visibly annoyed, went to the owner with our explanation. He then suddenly appeared at our table and claimed that I hadn 't mentioned the voucher and that, for accounting reasons, he couldn 't change the receipt and that we should pay the full amount. Later, I learned from a friend in the restaurant industry that it happens quite often that receipts need to be changed, for example, due to accounting errors. He stuck to his story and, as some reviews here have so nicely pointed out, referred to the Citti for Two rules. I 've been using the voucher for years and have honestly never experienced anything like this. The owner 's tone was so incredibly unfriendly that even other guests shook their heads in disbelief. Anyone reading other reviews here will surely notice that citti for two users were frequently dismissed in this or a similar manner. But the owner knows how to deflect criticism from other guests with various, seemingly pleasant-sounding statements. His unfriendly manner, which he dismisses as open to interpretation, has been mentioned frequently. It 's a shame that this otherwise lovely day ended with such a bitter aftertaste of rudeness. Incidentally, there were still several tables free when we left.
