I visited for the first time, and I made a reservation. The interior is not too spacious, and there is one private room, creating a comfortable atmosphere where I enjoyed chatting with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. I ordered the limited quantity, reasonably priced lunch called 'poco a poco,' which allows you to enjoy a little bit of everything. It came with an appetizer salad plate, half pasta, dessert, and a drink. I could choose from four types of pasta, and I had the eggplant Bolognese, which was very delicious! I definitely want to go again.
