Other people at the table were very happy with their salads, but the gnocchi took some getting used to (very soft inside, almost black on the outside in some places). The atmosphere was like a pub, and at times incredibly loud. A little investment in soundproofing would be fantastic to make the restaurant more comfortable.

Wow, just wow! The service is top-notch. Everyone is friendly, especially the bartender. He deserves a raise. read more Wow, just wow! The service is top-notch. Everyone is friendly, especially the bartender. He deserves a raise.

In December 2024, the two of us spontaneously got a seat late in the evening, received excellent service, and were very satisfied with the food and drinks. My truffle-loving friend particularly enjoyed the truffle pasta, as they didn 't skimp on the truffle in the dish, and in her opinion, it was absolutely worth the money. Because of this wonderful evening in general, and the truffle linguine in particular, the three of us returned to HeyLuigi on September 25. Unfortunately, two things disappointed us. 1. The truffle pasta was a complete disappointment. The sauce unfortunately had zero truffle flavor, and the small amount of truffle topping was dried out and tasted like nothing. In fact, it was a portion of pasta with oil and Parmesan for 20 euros. We ate it all, but only because we were hungry, and we were extremely frustrated by the stinginess. 2. My friend ordered a bottled drink, which I think was listed on the menu as a mint-cucumber lemonade or something like that, and she wanted to try it. It was essentially a cucumber spritzer with no mint at all, a matter of taste, but all three of us found it undrinkable. Unfortunately, the drink couldn 't be returned; the reason given was the bottle is already open, I can 't sell it anymore. Yes... we understand that, but it 's all about goodwill and satisfaction, so a few euros shouldn 't be a factor. It 's quite common in bars to take back drinks, e.g., cocktails, that the guest doesn 't like at all, free of charge, or at least modify them or offer something else, and try to avoid frustrating the guest. At least, that 's how I know and appreciate it. Why would you consume something you find disgusting? You can 't know beforehand, especially if it 's described differently on the menu. No guest would do that without a good reason. Unfortunately, there was no concession, no here, I could make you another spritzer, here, I could offer you an espresso. So the bottle sat there stupidly on our table for the rest of the evening. On the positive side, the service was very good again, I also like the bar atmosphere, and the miso tofu soup was good, albeit smaller than last December, and I would have preferred it to be more strongly seasoned. They offer an excellent non-alcoholic Aperol Spritz! I would definitely come back, although I 'd rather go for drinks/cocktails later in the evening rather than for dinner.
