The atmosphere was very cozy, the staff very polite, friendly, and attentive, and our food arrived quickly. The dishes were beautifully presented and portioned; the taste was excellent. This was our first time eating here, and we would definitely come back if we're ever near Celle again. A nice little touch regarding the service: We had already left the restaurant when a member of staff came running after us to give us a small gift—a panettone. Highly recommended!

What's less appealing is how noisy the large dining room is. Unfortunately, it's as loud as a train station. They could definitely improve that, for example, with curtains or other soundproofing measures. Nevertheless, I will visit the restaurant again—perhaps even sitting outside in the warmer months.

We only got our table after asking several times. I don't need stress before the meal. I would rather come back here in the summer and sit outside overlooking the river.

We liked the good service, the ambiance, and the reasonably priced but good Prosecco. But then – the bruschetta was barely toasted, if at all, and drenched in balsamic glaze. The Fegato alla Veneziana is often a test for me of whether the kitchen is any good – it arrived on a sort of bed of vegetables, in and under a sauce that really didn't belong there. The pasta – Taglioni Pesto Siciliana – was so hot we suspected it had come from the microwave. Again, it was a disappointing experience. Along with the wine and water, the bill came to almost one hundred euros, which simply doesn't add up.
