"C'est pas de la grande gastronomie italienne, les plats sont pas les plus fins mais c'est bon et bien servi. On est plutôt sur du régressif, avec de bonnes grosses portions de pâtes généreuses. Toutes les recettes sont bonnes, les lasagnes sont très bien aussi, normales, végé ou saumon. A emporter uniquement, les prix sont corrects pour le quartier, peut-être un poil cher pour des pâtes."

"Portions généreuses et pas mauvais Beaucoup de choix Le seul hic c'est que c'est systématiquement trop salé, j'y retourne seulement occasionnellement à cause de cela et je me fais la même remarque à chaque fois"
