"The food was great and the waiter was very nice and kind.
They even made us a special dish that is not on the menu!
definitely will come back"

"Strong cocktails with prices comparable with what you would pay in North America for half the price and double the alcohol. Margarita pizza was simple but delicious. Great customer service from Boris! Good location away from the sun if you are hoping to catch a break from the sun."
Alvaro Patino
"Service was good and fast. The food quality is quite low, definitely not worth the price. The bruschetta is just bread with tomatoes, bread is not toasted, weak overall flavour. The pizza is probably the worst part. They have one with fancy italian sausage which is really just a cut up hot dog as far as I could tell. The pasta had bacon that was way too salty, and the sauce was liquid. Did not look like classic carbonara."
