A pizzeria that has a great notoriety, guided also by various awards and criticisms at national level, and in fact the offer is very elaborate, made of courageous combinations, but well studied and with high quality ingredients. I would have something to say about pasta and make pasta. quite compact and too often in the middle, but it is obvious because they are often overloaded with ingredients. but everything depends on what you expect. however, it has a great reputation and will certainly be deserved. very nice environment, service to height. prices well above average
