What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Di. Pippo for its exceptional Italian dishes like Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe and Parmigiana, as well as delicious thin-crust pizzas. The cozy atmosphere and friendly service are also highlighted. However, some reviews mention slow service, especially during busy periods, and suggest improvements to certain flavor profiles like gorgonzola.
"Wonderful kitchen in beautiful surroundings. I’d come back just for the food."
Eystein Veflingstad
"I went to this restaurant for lunch with my family. I understand they were understaffed, which is why our food took so long to arrive. When it finally did, we were a bit disappointed. The parmigiana and the cacio e pepe pasta with steak were good. However, the dishes with gorgonzola, such as the risotto and the cannelloni, were not as enjoyable as we have had in other places. I would recommend making a sauce with the gorgonzola instead of just adding the cheese directly, as it would create a more balanced flavor too."
Isabel McGraw
"Incredible atmosphere. Everything was brand new and carefully thought out. We had the pizza; I especially liked the chicken and 'catupiry'. But the highlight was the tiramisu. Our waiter, Marcelo, was fantastic and suggested that next visit we order a plate to really see the true value of the restaurant, the chef's touches on some Italian dishes."
