I had the Toscana pizza, which was really good. My girlfriend thought the fried goat cheese was delicious, even though I'm not a fan of it myself. The prices are completely reasonable, and I would go back anytime.

Large outdoor area, but unfortunately a bit limited inside. There are also several (private) parking spaces.

We had to wait a very long time before anyone even came to our table, even though the manager was there and observed what was happening – without intervening or helping herself. We had to actively request service several times. We ordered a macaroni casserole, but we were served baked penne, which was unfortunately barely edible – the flavor was unpleasantly earthy. Only the homemade lemonades were worth mentioning. Overall, neither the service nor the quality of the food was up to scratch. The price-performance ratio was not justified. There are much better options in the area. It's not worth a visit.
