Noi siamo stati a pranzo e abbiamo scelto la sala interna per il caldo: l’ambiente era climatizzato alla perfezione, fresco e confortevole senza eccessi. Il personale è stato fantastico: simpatico, disponibile, veloce e molto professionale, capace di farti sentire subito a tuo agio. Il cibo era di ottima qualità: in quattro abbiamo assaggiato un po’ di tutto, pesce, carne, focacce, ed era tutto davvero impeccabile, ben cucinato e ben presentato. L’atmosfera rilassata unita alla qualità del servizio e dei piatti rende l’esperienza completa.
