    Super nice service, good atmosphere, great authentic food. We had a great experience, would go there again! You should definitely try it out. Even if the location doesn’t seem promising, the food and service don’t disappoint!

    We had delicious grilled fish and calamari here. We didn't get locked in -- as one reviewer described - but we did note the presence of a police car at a nearby outdoor market which was a little icky to walk through and which did look a little seedy. Nevertheless, the food was delicious. Both our main dishes were very fresh and cooked perfectly.

    We chose this restaurant because it was highly rated. It was a big disappointment! Our sparkling water was flat, the Bruschetta wasn’t toasted and only had tomatoes on it with almost no seasoning. Lots of potential here but seemed like they were fading.

    Seguimos a indicacão do Gemini. Já deve ter sido interessante no passado. Local ruim, ambiente pobre e sem ar condicionado ( estivemos no fim da primavera), atendimento sofrível. Massa no ponto exato mas o molho era pobre. Bruschetta a €3, veio 2 pedaços de pâo e pouquinho de tomate.

    Un peu déçu de la bruschetta. Puis du plat également. Le service était pas fou non plus. Franchement, les pâtes bolognaises étaient comme celles en boîte de conserve…
