    Great ambience, very friendly service. Very good quality food. However, I would also like to make a suggestion for improvement: We received our food, which was not very hot, even before we had finished our aperitif. At the same time the wine arrived and had to be opened and tasted first. After that the food was only lukewarm. One could have expected better timing for this high-priced restaurant. Nevertheless, we were able to enjoy the evening in the beautiful restaurant with the romantic atmosphere.

    Saint Jacques tres bonnes. Pates aux truffes très bien préparées (truffe d’été). Pâtes à la langouste bonnes. Parmesan râpé demandé (pas utilisé car pas nécessaire) facturé 5€… 20% trop cher.

    This was the perfect setting for our last night in Europe. Away from the crowds of Prague, the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed and the room was beautifully decorated. What made our experience even more special was our server, Ruslan and the food and wine he recommended. A day later and we are still talking about it. The tomato soup he recommended was excellent as well as each entree. And, after the meal we lingered over ice cold limoncello. Fabulous. We recommend you visit. Thank you, Ruslan for making it very special.

    That was amazing experience. Authentic restaurant which brings you in Italy. Beautiful garden but It was already too cold outside, so we were having table inside. Very good service in a composition with a very delicious food and cosy atmosphere. We will definitely come back to this restaurant next time we visit Prague.

    This is not a family restaurant. The food is not appropriate for children, and they didn't make an effort to do it other way. The waiter just didn't come to the table the whole time to ask if we want to have something else, obwohl it was not so busy that evening. The waiter didn't even light the candles on the table. And the price was triple, but it didn't even match the quality of the food or the service ( we have seen much much better). mestentsa. I would skip it, there are much better places.

    Helaas hebben wij hier niet gegeten. We werden bij aankomst voortvarend naar een gezellig tafeltje begeleid en kregen de menukaart, dat was het laatste contact met het personeel. Wij hebben vervolgens 25 (!) minuten gewacht tot er iemand zou komen om onze bestelling op te nemen. Helaas dit gebeurde niet. Personeel liep meerdere malen langs, maar zag ons kennelijk niet meer zitten. De tafel verderop had hetzelfde en stapte al eerder op en heeft plaatsgenomen bij de buren, wij zijn daarna ook maar opgestapt en kregen bij een ander adres wel service en hebben een fijne avond gehad. Wel jammer dat zo’n mooi terras vrijwel leeg is, maar met zulke service is dat niet zo vreemd.

    The service was incredibly slow. There seemed to be only a few wait staff for the entire restaurant and two of them may have been very new. Additionally, my wife’s risotto was basically a clump of cheese. I was expecting more based on other reviews, but perhaps they are having a labor shortage.

    The restaurant environment is nice and the service is good, but the price of the food is excessive. I am half spanish and italian and I have never seen prices of 1000 CZK for a dish with pasta, or up to 500 CZK for a bruschetta.

    Nice food, good service, good wine, but way way too expensive. 1 bottle of wine two starters, a pasta and an (very good) octopus. 200 euro. I can’t get rid of the feeling they deliberately don’t show prices on the website, and hope you don’t leave when you arrive. But hey….. the market is always right….

    A fantastic Italian dining experience. We had found the place via tripadvisor and it was a wonderful experience. The food is top quality and the service is sublime. The last time I had such good Italian food I was in Italy. All in all, a thoroughly enjoyable evening. The price level is more than reasonable. We send a huge recommendation to this restaurant and will gladly return the next time we are in Prague.

    The food is absolutely delicious. It was the best meal we had on our trip. Gluten free options available. Initially, we were asked to sit outside, but since it was cold and tables were available inside, we asked how long the wait would be. After the host discussed with the waiter, we were told we could sit inside.
