We were served a nice little amuse bouche if lamb sausage with broccoli cream. There were five of us, so we tried quite a few dishes. The highlights were: -Suckling lamb...ravioli with artichoke and butter sauce was absolutely delicious and disappeared very quickly -Ricotta donuts with truffle and mushrooms mixed creamy ricotta with lovely earthy flavours -Loin of pork with lentils; the pork was beautifully tender and the lentils cooked in a rich stock The service was excellent and friendly. The bill was fairly reasonable for a fine dining experience.

I think the team can do much better than that ...

We not only enjoying the great hospitality of the entire team during the evening, but also the food was absolutely outstanding even for Munich...with probably the largest choices among Italian restaurants. But these appetizers and main dishes (especially the fish) was absolutely outstanding delicious and well presented. The wine list was long with great choices and the service was highly professional and very friendly. So .. very easy to feel at home ... and in Italy in a way.

A very nice evening, very delicious food, friendly service. read more A very nice evening, very delicious food, friendly service.
