“ Some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. I had the wild boar ragu and it tasted the same as I had in Tuscany a few years ago. Also a great roast chicken croquette. Drinks and food, amazing. If you’re in the area come by. It’s worth it. ”
“ Came for dinner. The staff were wonderful and very friendly. The food was delicious, especially the papardelle. Don’t skip the dessert! ”
“ We have had a great meal here! The gnocchi was to die for. The ravioli also amazing. The staff was extremely nice and caring. Would return for another meal ”
“ We ate here twice while staying right down the street. Pay attention to specials board. Ingredients were so fresh and pasta was excellent. Small, laid back atmosphere. ”
“ Place is very cozy. For me and my friend it was also a big plus that it was open during the day. Food was top notch quality and I cannot even describe how friendly and attentive staff were. Great experience all around would visit this place again to try more stuff. ”
“ Great food, amazing value for money. Everything was super fresh and most things on the menu were dishes you can't get everywhere, so original recipe ideas. Hands down one of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to. Service felt a little rushed. Maybe they were understaffed, I don't know. But we aren't the type of people who are really bothered by that, so would certainly recommend for all. ”
“ Very good pasta. I was here already before. Back then it was ok, the pasta itself was good but the combination with the vegetables was nothing special and the lunch menu is rather expensive with 18,50€ when compared to other local restaurants. However, I wanted to try it again and this time it was outstanding. I had the Burrata for starters (3€ extra), excellent texture and taste, nice combination with the onions and salt. The Spaghetti Puttanesca was outstanding. The Tomate sauce was extremely tasty and well rounded. Really great combination with the olives and caper. The tiramisu was good and the espresso really good with nice flavors of nuts and fruits. The service was excellent, super friendly and in a good mood. They also spoke very good English. I will be back for sure and hopefully the 5 stars can stay. ”
“ Very few places, I would leave a full 5 star review. But then again, very few places deserve a 5 star review. Aldrano - did it for me. Everything was just great. Food tasted amazing. Staff were super friendly and helpful, especially considering I don't speak Spanish. If I ever visit this area again, this would be my first stop. NB. Make reservations. ”
