Inside the restaurant is decent but feels a bit like eating in a shop (at least...if you are on the ground floor, the second floor actually looked nicer. Prices are fair and the food is decent but I was expecting more based on the reviews.The mozzarella with tomato had a real small amount of mozzarella cheese and was surprisingly served with dried tomatoes instead of fresh ones: it was original and tasty but lacked the freshness you expect from this dish. My girlfriend had the gnocchi with prawns which were delicious my dish (pasta with meatballs) was nice but much simpler.Service was a combination of very nice and slightly awkward depending on the person serving.I probably wouldn't go back because I'd rather try places closer to downtown, but I think it might be worth a first try for other people if you're in the area.

It only has one drawback: it is quite expensive and I know that they are going to tell me that their products are of good quality, that I don't doubt it, but I have eaten at a restaurant in Cholet with equally good products and affordable prices.
