The inside of the restaurant didn't look all that clean. To be avoided.

As we had small children with us, we thought that was fine. The Italian/Mexican menu had food for everyone and the service was friendly and we were able to communicate in a mixture of French and English. The location was very atmospheric as there were many market stalls set up in the square selling products by local artists, a musician and many families enjoying the social space. The food was tasty, both the pasta and the Mexican dishes, and when it came time to order desserts, we reminded them that the table was wanted for 9pm, but we were told there was no problem, to take our time and another table for 6 was made up for the 9pm booking. We were able to enjoy a leisurely evening and felt very welcome.

As veggie-vegans we love Mexican food. My husband and daughter had the veggie barrito, and I was able pick from the sides a delicious vegan tortilla with guacamole, home made salsa and beans. Lovely little place. Hope to go back again, although a little on the expensive side.

The nachos were superb and the chimichanga divine. My starter of mixed verdure was the best I've ever taste followed by an excellent pasta Genovese. Washed down with a very nice montepulciano and ended with two coffees . Fabulous value at less than E60. We'll be back!
