Had the worse experience: We ordered a margherita pizza ( you know, the basic: tomato, mozzarella and fresh basil) and the pizza tasted funny. We checked the menu, at is said: "mix of cheeses" or something... so basically the margherita pizza was also a 4 cheeses pizza. And what cheeses they used... it was not written anywhere. We asked... and one of the cheese is gorgonzola! (Which I HATE with passion). So I had no choices but stop eating it. So, yeah, not the best experience... and what a waste of money!

Service was terrible. We were sat at for a good 35 minuets before anyone came over to take a drinks order, even then we had to call someone over. Food was fine
