Spaghetti aglio ollio peperoncino is fantastic here! Try the pizza piemonte - delicious!

Good atmosphere, the food was good but not exceptional (tried the parmigiana and the fish of the day).The dishes are mostly truly Italian,with good ingredients; overall "senza infamia e senza lode".

Very goood steak and pasta meals, kind service. Location is excellent, very cosy reastaurant right near the Castle. Loved it!

Grilled goat cheese is good! As for beers, Maretti is… interesting. Have a glass of wine instead.

One of the unique place with a price/quality food around the old town. Recommended although staff can be rude

Despite all the positive comments of tourists and citizens, the food is really mediocre and deserves 3 maximum from 5! And the plates are not so "generous" for so called "Italian" restaurant. well...

Cozy little Italian restaurant tucked away in the St. Catherine's Passage near town square.
Zaza TsereteliSeptember 19, 2014
Food is good, the only thing is that portions become smaller and at the same time prices are increasing
Andreas BegerSeptember 13, 2014
Warm atmosphere. Try the mushroom pasta.

Busy restaurant. Good chantarelle risotto.

Second floor was way too cold... Find a table on the first floor near the hearth in the winter

Pasta was awesome, but service need an improvement.. :)

We found this place to be very far from decent Italian. Pizza: poor, salmon: overcooked, service: really poor. Food: no soul, no love, just another tourist ripoff. Save your money and eat elsewhere.

Get a lot of appetizers, they are good!Service is nice enough.

Very busy during summer months. their nice location is compromised with a rather poor service and uninspiringly presented dishes. imho overrated

Place looks nice but the staff is very unwelcoming

Уютное место в старом Таллине. Вкусно!)
Julia KuzmichevaApril 9, 2014
Замечательный ресторан, стейк с трюфельным соусом панический! В самом начале старого города! Советую посетить, не пожалеете!
YanaAugust 1, 2016
Пробовали только пиццу, но она очень понравилась. Обслуживание приятное, уютное заведение. Обязательно вернемся еще.
Tatjana MuravskajaJanuary 26, 2016
Классика, вкусно. Обслуживание нацелено на основной контингент - туристов: мне забыли принести гарнир к мясу и кофе принесли, когда доели десерт. Но все равно это милое старое место.
chemagatoAugust 20, 2012
Terraza increíble, buena comida, pizzas y pastas habituales de 9 a 15 euros.
Vitaliy DerevtsovJuly 23, 2015
Хорошая итальянская кухня в старом городе.
Olga AldzanovaMarch 11, 2016
Очень очень достойная паста и много, как положено :)
