Absolutely loved the pizza! Super delicious and full of flavour. You can really taste the authenticity. Feels like real Italian pizza, fresh out of a wood-fired oven. My husband fall for the pizza. Recommended.

If you’re looking for authentic Italian flavors, this place is a gem. The burrata pizza is truly the star — fresh, flavourful and perfectly balanced with a beautifully crisp, wood-fired crust. You can tell the ingredients are top-notch and thoughtfully chosen. The atmosphere is warm and homey, making it a perfect spot for both casual dinners and special nights out. What really stood out, though, was the staff — genuinely friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. They clearly care about the food and the guest experience, which made the whole visit feel even more special. Highly recommended for anyone who loves pizza done the right way. Can’t wait to come back!

We tried the burrata pizza which was very tasty. The tomato sauce base was light, fresh and perfectly savoury. The crust was just nice, not too thin and definitely not too thick. The rocket salad was quite interesting, since it added texture and provided a slight minty flavor. We found that the pizza was best eaten with a sprinkle of chilli flakes. They also had hot sauce on the table but it wasn't necessary. Only one thing though- in our final slice, we found a small piece of hard plastic. While paying at the counter, we mentioned it to the waiter, and he said that if we had informed him earlier then we would've gotten free dessert. He didn't seem that alarmed, so I can only hope that this isn't a regular occurrence. The ambience of the restaurant is great, and it's very quiet there. Perfect to hang out with a friend for a couple of hours while you work your way through the pizza. They also have something like a loyalty stamp- buy 8 pizzas and you'll get a free margarita (?). I'm not sure whether that's the margherita pizza or the drink, but if it's the drink then I can't claim the free item lol. I will probably visit again in the future to try out their risotto and other unique pizzas.

One of the best restaurants for pizza! We ordered a Margherita pizza and it was absolutely delicious. I also tried cheese bread for the first time, and it was rich in cheese and full of flavor. The service was excellent and made the experience even better. Highly recommended!
