The prices were however very high, we paid more than 90 euros per person, and the quality was good but not something you can not get elsewhere for considerably less money....The service was swift but pushy and arrogant. The patron, when asked if it was possible to have a glass of wine (instead of a bottle), reponded in an contemptuous manner that he does not run a bistro.

We opted for the bottle version however, and the waiter proceded to open a new bottle of wine (when the first was finished), without asking if we wanted another. All-in-all I can not recommend the establishment.

Had a great salad wonderful gnocchi a bottle of wine and a coffee each. Not cheap but totally worth it. Very...attentive service. Will be back!
