Well priced items! ”
“ Beautiful restaurant just off main square in glorious Assissi. Spectacularly good pizza. Great choice of red or white pizzas. Well, well worth a visit. The pizzas are quite big, so go there hungry or share a few. ”
“ I ate a quick lunch here. The staff was friendly enough but not overly so. The service was quick once I was seated. The pizza I had (tricolore) was good! Nothing out of this world, but solidly good! It was a good place for a quick bite to eat. I spent about 35-40 minutes here. ”
“ The bread here is 10/10. It is extremely moist yet crispy made with a very hot oven. The charcuterie meats and bread we had was excellent. Pasta and pizza we felt needed a bit more from the toppings, but the pizza bread was delicious. ”
“ Amazing food and highly recommended aperol spritz! If it is possible prefer the tarazza to enjoy your dinner or your lunch! ”
