Our last day in Antigua we decided to try this place and it was a very pleasant surprise, because of the time, it was noon, the place was practically just for us, excellent service, even the owner stopped by to ask us how everything was... We enjoyed a burrata and two different pastas, all exquisite!! 100% recommended if you want to treat yourself!!

Treated very rudely because we didn’t book. Rushed to finish our small bowls of vegetarian pasta and with a sprite and coke charged over 300 q never again!

Terrible attention from the chef who is the owner of the restaurant, bad food, dry pasta with no taste whatsoever to do with authentic Italian food
