Amazing food, Owner made a dish not on the menu! Would have gone back the rest of the trip but they closed for some Holiday time. Make sure you go here if you're around!

I'm visiting from California. This place says pizza outside and the sign looks nice. Inside, simple but elegant. But oh my goodness they do way more than burgers and pizza. The food is good. I feel it is worth your euro . Especially if you finish your plate. 2 nice pieces of meat. The picture does not do justice. My friend and I enjoyed the experience. By the way, they have ketchup here for your fries but you have to ask.

Is not bad at all. The pizza is thin and a bit crunchy, to those who like this, the pizza is very nice. The starter (like in the picture) is nice. The environment is friendly and very nice staff member. I can recommend for sure
