Accoglienza con frittelle e grissini sul tavolo. Ordinato patate e hanno portato in aggiunta una focaccia con impasto della pizza all'origano (buonissima) e saline. Pizza buona. Anche all'aperto se non si ha green pass. Ottimi prezzi e personale disponibile e attento.

The pizza I had (Monte Cocuzzo) was pretty good, the ingredients were tasty and the dough was light. Starters were not really worth it, reasonable prices
