The ambience is very nice and so is the service. Also extremely clean, even the kitchen! As the owner gave a me a tour of their 2 floor restaurant. The food was outstanding, i had all sorts like pasta, chicken, steak, fish and their soup which was my favorite the vegetable/tomato soup. I’m going to miss this place so much and the owners as well.

Lunch included soup, chicken, good Italian bread, a generous pitcher of red wine, and dessert. Cost was 16 euros. The soup was delicious, but the outstanding flavors where the fresh-cooked fried potatoes in the roasted chicken juices; heavenly! BTW, they'll serve you a leg and a thigh; I think they reserve the breasts for another dish they offer. At the end of the meal, I couldn't fit in the included dessert, so I opted for café con leche instead. This lunch was one of the more pleasurable experiences I've had (so far) in Spain.

We chose to share a pizza, mainly because we saw and smelled the wonderful aroma from the next table. We had diavola the best I have ever eaten (and we spend a lot of time in Italy! This diavola had fresh green chillies, capers, olives, onion, peppers on a lovely crispy pizza base! We will definitely return here before we leave León.
