As there was no available table outside they put a new separate one for us. Menu is rather small but the dishes were of a high quality, we went for penne and gnocchi and could have taste the proper Italian tomato sauce with a mix of fresh ingredients. For both they did go really heavy on the cheese, which was definitely pleasant. Had a refreshing carafe of house wine and ended with a creamy delicious tiramisu. Seating outside is on a small vibrant square where you can feel the atmosphere of the city. On the top of all the prices were more than favorable! Definitely coming back, especially for the crispy pizza we saw on the other table.

You can find typical dishes of the southern Italian kitchen, mostly from the Naples’ area. We ended up here without recommendation, but I highly recommend it!

Very good Italian pizza, place based in the city center. The staff is really friendly and positive. Not very oficial atmosphere. I totally recommend this place. read more Very good Italian pizza, place based in the city center. The staff is really friendly and positive. Not very oficial atmosphere.

If I had a dinner somewhere else, I would go for second dinner in Mascalzone. I remember Rocco, the owner, who looks like Mancini, and the staff that was always on top level. Nice, warm atmosphere and above all very tasty, simple food, prices normal. Recommendation.

We had pasta for lunch, both dishes were OK very salty.
