Good fresh pasta just a little salty and portions have been reduced. The service is really slow and forgetful, specially on Sundays. Good variety of wine and place is well decorated.
I have dined here several times. It’s a lovely place. My dinners have always been good. The service is inconsistent. When I went last week, my server was barely friendly. Granted, my Spanish is not perfect, but he made no attempt at being friendly. I had Calamari Friti which I found bland and undercooked. My carbonara was good, but thick with the undercooked egg which might be preferred for some. No one ever asked me if I was pleased with my dinner. I had 2 cocktails which were very good. I expect a better experience for almost $1,000 MX.
Slow disorganized service, unfriendly. No greeting. Service poor. Food bland. Love the setting that’s all I can say in the positive No need to return
We have been here several times and always enjoy it. Good service and good atmosphere. They have indoor and outdoor seating. This visit we had, chicken parmigiana and black truffle pasta. The chicken was surprisingly very good. I would highly recommend it. The truffle pasta has sufficient shaved black truffles. We always start with mixed fried shrimp and calamari.
