Stunning villa, worth visiting. Unfortunately you can only see a part of it. The largest room is absolutely amazing.

A privately owned villa, open to the public. Fabulous example of baroque architecture and fascinating statues adoring the building and surrounds. Reasonably priced entrance fee which goes towards maintaining the Villa and grounds. Parking in the general area, no specific parking area. Take note of in seasone and out of season opening times.

This is a fantastic place to check out a little history! The garden is lovely and the house is wonderful! Be sure to plan your visit to fit within the times they’re open!!

Nice place. I wish it was more open. A single room is beautiful but too little to see

We were alone in the villa, so it’s not crowded at all during the week. Absolutely fantastic atmosphere, and the statues are both fascinating and scary(at times)

It is a beautiful circular enclave. The wild garden makes an intringuing cornice to the villa which is beautiful inside and out. Only a small section of the interior is open to the public but it is worth the trip. The ceiling of the squarish marble room is made with a mirror parchwork that is now pewter gray but, in its day, must have been sparkling at any hint of light. The sculptures perched on the garden walls survey the garden and the few tourists still are intriguing and beautiful in their own odd way.

There was a group of schoolkids at Villa Palagonia. Interesting old place ... you can imagine how magnificent it used to be. Funny sculptures on the garden wall.

(Translated by Google) The style is very similar to the Basilica San Francesco d'Assisi in Palermo.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful squares in Bagheria, a place of meeting and aggregation, in the center of which stands the imposing Church of the Holy Sepulchre, magnificent in its neoclassical style architecture, the pastoral activities attract many devotees who fill the church on holidays, I recommend visiting this lovely place. Bagheria (Original) Una delle più belle piazze di Bagheria luogo di incontro e aggregazione al centro della quale si erge imponente la Chiesa del Santo Sepolcro magnifica nella sua architettura in stile neoclassico, le attività pastorali richiamano molti devoti che nei giorni festivi riempiono la chiesa, consiglio di visitare questo luogo incantevole.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic religious structure built in the historic center, a stone's throw from other works of art and prestigious buildings as well as from the famous Corso Umberto, properly featured in the recent film Baharia by the local director and Oscar winner Giuseppe Tornatore.

(Translated by Google) My husband and I are from Rome, every time we go to Sicily we never miss the opportunity to participate in the celebration of Holy Mass in this parish. The parish priest whose name unfortunately we do not know always manages to convey to us his faith, the presence of God and it is a great gift for our soul. The wonderful thing (now increasingly rare) is the possibility of being able to receive Jesus in the Eucharist in both species... How much grace do the people who are part of this community have. We pray for this priest, for his sanctification and we entrust everything to the sweet heart of Mary. Thank you Father... pray for us so that the Lord may grant us a grace. (Original) Io e mio marito siamo di Roma, ogni volta che scendiamo in Sicilia non ci perdiamo mai la possibilità di partecipare alla celebrazione della Santa Messa in questa parrocchia. Il parroco di cui purtroppo non conosciamo il nome riesce sempre a trasmetterci la sua fede, la presenza di Dio ed è per la nostra anima un grande dono. La cosa meravigliosa ( ormai sempre più rara) è la possibilità di poter ricevere Gesù Eucarestia nelle due specie… Quanta grazia che hanno le persone che fanno parte di questa comunità. Noi preghiamo per questo sacerdote, per la sua santificazione e affidiamo tutto al dolce cuore di Maria. Grazie Padre… preghi per noi affinché il Signore ci conceda una grazia.

(Translated by Google) Delicious pasta and large portions! Friendly staff! They even pulled out a chair and quickly set up a table for two. Right in the heart of Catania's main square. The only annoying thing is that street vendors bother you on the restaurant grounds. (Original) Erg lekkere pasta en grote porties! Personeel vriendelijk! Schuift zelfs de stoel aan en creëerde snel een 2 persoonstafel. Gelijk centraal aan het grote plein van Catania.

(Translated by Google) The ice cream is good, the brioche was not as soft as it should be. Courteous and helpful staff. (Original) Il gelato è buono, la brioche non era soffice come dovrebbe essere. Personale cortese e disponibile.

(Translated by Google) A disappointing experience and a lack of professionalism. Yesterday, I went into Cafè Duomo to buy two 0.5L bottles of water, leaving a €5 note on the counter. The staff took the money without issuing a receipt, and as I was leaving, no one called me back to give me any change. An unpleasant experience that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, both for the lack of customer service and the impression of a lack of transparency. A shame, because honesty and kindness would be enough to transform a simple purchase into a positive experience. (Original) Esperienza deludente e poca professionalità. Ieri sono entrato al Cafè Duomo per acquistare due bottigliette d’acqua da 0,5L, lasciando sul banco una banconota da 5 euro. Il personale ha incassato senza emettere scontrino e, mentre uscivo, nessuno mi ha richiamato per consegnarmi l’eventuale resto. Un episodio spiacevole che lascia l’amaro in bocca, sia per la mancanza di attenzione verso il cliente, sia per l’impressione di scarsa trasparenza. Un peccato, perché basterebbero correttezza e gentilezza per trasformare un acquisto semplice in un momento positivo.

(Translated by Google) One of the villas built in the eighteenth century as a summer holiday resort by the princes of Comitini and subsequently purchased by the princes of Trabia.

(Translated by Google) It's not open to visitors. The gate is closed. I think it's private property; an intercom outside indicates it's inhabited by several families. (Original) Non è visitabile.....

(Translated by Google) Too bad!!! A place like this (beautiful) in total decadence (Original) Peccato!!! Un posto del genere (bellissimo ) in Totale decadenza

(Translated by Google) A jewel of Sicilian Baroque, discreetly maintained by the Alliata princes and recently recovered, at least partially and with controlled entrances, in its main part. It's a shame for the many sandstone shrines and patios that erosion has almost erased. (Original) Un gioiello del Barocco siciliano, discretamente mantenuto dai principi Alliata e recentemente recuperato, almeno parzialmente e con ingressi controllati, nella sua parte principale. Peccato per le tante edicole e patii in arenaria che l'erosione ha quasi cancellato.

(Translated by Google) Just staying here means taking a leap into history, into the home of one of the most noble families in Sicily. The villa itself is an absolute masterpiece. (Original) Il solo stare qui' significa fare un salto nella storia, a casa di una delle famiglie piu' nobili della Sicilia. La villa stessa e' un capolavoro assoluto.

(Translated by Google) Truly disgraceful. Transforming this beautiful villa into a B&B goes against all sense of beauty and taste. The heritage authority should intervene; this is a disgrace. Shame. (Original) Davvero un'indecenza. Trasformare la bellissima Villa in un b&b va contro ogni senso del bello e del gusto. La sovrintendenza dovrebbe intervenire, questo è uno scempio. Vergogna

We enjoyed nice sicilian dinner. As always, better share each course. A good joyce

Excellent service. You know you are in the right place when you are the only tourists there. Our antipasti was tasty and my primi was classic spaghetti vongolo. Stick with seafood or pizza and you won’t be upset!!! The pizza apparently they are known for (brick oven as you enter) but most everyone around us was having seafood.

Outstanding, thoroughly worth a visit! The service we received was as excellent as our meal. We tried grilled entricote in a Nero D'Avola reduction (stunning) and a perfect pizza Romana - two ends of the spectrum but importantly, both were of equally high quality. We look forward to going again!

Beautiful quaint local. Not a tourist trap. Excellence through out. Food, ambience, staff, selection. Wish I lived closer.

Excellent meal and service!

Not the greatest not the worst. Good inslata bufalina. Good funghi mix pizza. The pastas and fish dishes were a miss. Wonderful service and pretty spot though. Shame the food wasn't what I had hoped for.

Excellent Pizza. Will definitely return for the magnificent food!

(Translated by Google) We arrived as a group to eat, there was a table available just for the children to sit on and that was fine with us. Although we specified to the lady that we would eat quickly even standing up, she still arranged for us to have tables and chairs. So far, so good! It's a shame that the lady provided this service to make us pay 1.50 cover charge per person even though not even napkins were brought to the table. We asked for a saucer and they weren't provided. No cutlery! Takeaway food paid for at the table. As if that wasn't enough, while we were still eating the lady asked us to get up because she had to give the table to other people. The lady, I presume she is the owner, was incredibly rude! Very small and empty spleen sandwiches! Raw french fries! Once upon a time it was perhaps the best... now there is certainly better! Not to return. (Original) Siamo arrivati in comitiva per mangiare, era disponibile un tavolino giusto per appoggiarsi i bambini e a noi andava bene così. Nonostante abbiamo specificato alla signora che avremmo mangiato velocemente anche in piedi, lei ha provveduto ugualmente a farci avere dei tavoli e delle sedie. Fin qui tutto bene! Peccato che la signora ha provveduto a questo servizio per farci pagare 1,50 a persona di coperto nonostante a tavola non sono stati portati nemmeno dei tovaglioli. Abbiamo chiesto un piattino e non erano provvisti. Nessuna posata! Cibo da asporto pagato per consumazione al tavolo. Come se non bastasse, mentre stavamo ancora mangiando la signora ci invita ad alzarci perché doveva dare il tavolo ad altre persone. La signora, presumo sia la titolare, di una sgarbatezza unica! Panini con la milza piccolissimi e vuoti! Patatine fritte crude! Un tempo forse era il migliore… adesso c’è sicuramente di meglio! Da non tornare.

(Translated by Google) Great for a quick bite, street food featuring local produce, in a prime location on the Aspra seafront. Friendly staff. (Original) Ottimo per mangiare veloce, uno street food con prodotti anche tipici, location top, sul lungomare di Aspra Personale cordiale

The spleen sandwich is delicious (Original) Ogni volta che andiamo a Palermo facciamo sempre un salto a mangiare da Palumbo. Ormai è una meta fissa. Peccato che l'ultima volta che ho preso pane e panelle non aveva le crocchette. Buonissimo il panino con la milza

Bad customer service. They open at 7 pm on Sunday. I had to raise my hand every time I wanted something. So many guys working there, but nobody cares. After I finished my panuzzo, I wanted some dessert. The waiter didn't ask me if I want a dessert and caffè, so I had to ask him what they have. He brought me the list and did not came back to ask if I chose something. After 10 mins of waiting, I asked for the bill. Another waiter came and didn't ask me if I want to pay cash or card. So he brought me the bill and I had to go to pay inside. There are so many guys doing nothing.

Perfect place for trying the local street food, which tends to change from town to town. I cannot fault any of the food that was served to us, mostly cooked in a wood fired oven.

Great food, amazing atmosphere in front of the church piazza. The hosts were a little rude, but the waiters were great.

Great pizza and focaccia. Quality dishes. Totally recommend it.

Delicious pizza, good beer, good wine. Recommended big time. 5 star!

I was disappointed at the pizza in Bagheria after my favorite place went from wood burning to gas ovens. THEN we found this place. How I missed it I don't know since it sits in the plaza I got married at. What can I say good pizza. Nice crust. 5 stars.

Good pizza with view of Church

Everything was remarkable. Our testing menu included 10 dishes and took over three hours, so make sure you allow plenty of time to fully experience this restaurant. For someone who grew up in Sicily it was a pleasure to taste so many flavours that reminded me of my childhood and of typical dishes that are made in completely different and creative way. Friendly service. Would definitely go back 😊

Food was super creative, unconventional without being absurd. We ordered individual dishes rather than the tasting menu. The risotto and anchovy ravioli were two standout dishes, but everything was delicious. They supplement the main courses with small interludes of tasty bites. Even though the ordered portions are small, enough gets brought to the table to make it a very fulfilling meal. Service was immaculate, attentive and professional without being intrusive. Prices are fair considering the quality and originality. The place is tucked into an unexpected neighborhood and Google Maps may send you the long way around to get there, but we were happy we went.

Truly amazing experience! Everything was thought through - even down to the waitors' clothes matching the interior. We had the traditional tasting experience, presenting Sicilian classics but in a new way; either served in a completely different, interesting way (e.g. in the shape of Sicily) or using other ingredients but matching the original, intended taste. Fully deserving the Michelin star - and to a much more affordable price (compared to danish prices).

Creative dishes with a modern twist on Sicilian classics. Extensive wine list with knowledgeable sommelier, attentive wait staff and overall a good fine dining experience! We dined for around 3 hours, left feeling satisfied and very full! Definitely a great way to spend our last night in Sicily! Very pricey but nonetheless an experience in itself.

The food was a very interesting interpretation of the traditional dishes BUT the LoCATION is EMBARRASSING!!!One of the reasons why I booked this restaurant was the description of the location mentioned also on Michelin guide as a Palazzo from the 18th century, but the restaurant is in an anonymous depressing room absolutely detached from the Palazzo that you don’t even get the chance to see. Really a shame! Furthermore, the dining room was extremely noisy for a Michelin-starred restaurant. Sound-absorbing panels should be a given.

This restaurant is something very special. The combination of traditional Sicilian dishes with a modern touch creates an amazing flavour palette. Definitely worth the visit if you visit Sicily. The entire staff are incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Oh Stanley Tucci, you beautiful man, you. We never would have thought to venture out to Bagheria (an hour from our hotel in Cefalu) had it not been for Tucci featuring I Pupi on his "Searching For Italy" program. Leading up to our reservation (make sure to get one) at I Pupi, we began to wonder if it was really worth the Michelin star pricing. Were we going to regret spending the money? Well, the answer was a resounding "NO." Every bite at I Pupi was a delight. We were there for three hours and would have happily stayed for another hour. The service was the best I have ever experienced. The servers were so attentive and knowledgable about every single aspect of the dishes: where ingredients came from, the Sicilian connection to food, etc. We honestly felt like we learned a lot! I can't even tell you exactly what we ate, but it was all so, so yummy! If you're thinking about splurging on a meal while in Sicily, let it be this... and make sure to get one of the tasting menus!

It was a muggy day so not the best to get a first impression of a place. About half an hours walk from Bagheria train station. I'm sure if I came back on a sunny day it would be amazing. But would people please stop posting their photos of Aspra and surrounding beaches under Bagheria? Bagheria is a town. Not a beach

Gorgeous,nice small local village

Ein Fischerdorf mit malerischem Flair. Schöne Küstenlandschaft. Die Fischer haben ihre Verkaufsstände für frischen Fisch aufgebaut. Obst- und Gemüseverkäufer stehen mit ihren Fahrzeugen am Straßenrand. Am besten geht man Vormittags dort hin. Es gibt eingerichtete Badestellen am Meer. Aber im Zentrum etwas begrenzter Liegeplatz am Strand vorhanden. Dunkler grober Sand. Am befestigten Ufer gibt es auf einer Art Terrasse gepflegte saubere Liegeplätze aber halt auf harten Steinplatten. Im Sommer ist der Ort stark besucht. Es gibt Leckere herzhafte Spezialitäten in der Bäckerei. (Translated by Google) A fishing village with a picturesque flair. Beautiful coastal landscape. The fishermen have set up their stalls selling fresh fish. Fruit and vegetable sellers stand with their vehicles on the side of the road. It's best to go there in the morning. There are established bathing areas by the sea. But there is somewhat limited space on the beach in the center. Dark coarse sand. On the paved bank there are neat, clean berths on a kind of terrace, but on hard stone slabs. In summer the place is heavily visited. There are delicious hearty specialties in the bakery.

excellent list town vibe, (suggestion to Aspra city officials: please do away with the cars on the street that line the sea. Make the entire promenade - pedestrian only)

A sea front town with good character and views towards the mountains behind Palermo with the sweeping bay in the foreground. The road tends to be busy but there is an impressive, wide promenade with some striking sculptures. There are fresh fish stalls as well as cafes and some shops. There is a vibrant sense of community.

A very beautiful place

Guter Parkplatz zum Übernachten und baden (Translated by Google) Good parking lot for staying overnight and swimming

Little village not much to see a gateway to the small secluded beach

Nice place unfortunately not very well looked after

Truely a special and unique experience. We laughed, we cried, we were confused. But we will never ever forget our trip to the Anchovy Museum. If you visit one place in Sicily, make it this one!

It has been such a long time since I last visited that enchanting place. For many reasons, I kept postponing what I had promised to Mr. Balistreri… but finally, here I am. I will never forget the experience I had there. It isn’t really a museum: it’s alive! It’s a place that surrounds you, where Mr. Balistreri welcomes you like a magician. He shares stories, invites you onto the stage to sing with him and with others who happened to be there by chance. What was meant to be a short visit of just an hour became more than three… and we still didn’t want to leave. It was truly unforgettable. Without a doubt, it is one of the most magical places I have ever known. And as you can see from my travels, I have visited many places around the world. I hold the memory with joy, and I always recommend it to everyone I meet. Even though I am now far from my Sicily, I want Mr. Balistreri to know that the keychain he gave me is always with me,on the keys of the vehicle that takes me around the world. A small gift, but one that carries with it the warmth of that magical day.

One of the most unique experiences I have ever had in my 20 visits to Italy. I don’t know that I learned much about anchovies, but I learned so much about Sicilian life and culture, from life on the sea for generations to the danger of modern-day mafia. It is certainly worth driving an hour or more out of your way for this experience. I took a group of 12 friends (from Chicago and San Francisco) here during our trip around Sicily. We spent about two hours there, and it was fascinating to learn about life in Aspra and Porticello. By the end of the tour, several of us were in tears. Michelangelo, the head of the museum, puts on a show that will make your head spin. Pardon me for being cryptic about the experience, but it is surprising in a way that will make the most hardened cynic smile, laugh and maybe even shed a tear. Be sure to make a reservation in advance. We had a wonderful lunch after the museum at La Rotunda in Casteldaccia.

Visiting this museum was like stepping into another era. The owner, Michaelangelo, was an incredible guide who didn’t just show us the exhibits — he made the history come alive. We were taken back in time to the fishing lifestyle of Sicily, learning firsthand about traditions and stories that shaped the community. Michaelangelo had us reenact scenes from the old days and it felt like we were part of a living history. At the end, he surprised us by putting together a black and white movie starring us! It was such a creative and unforgettable way to experience history and he was the absolute best host we could have asked for. If you’re looking for more than just a typical museum visit, this place is a must. It’s immersive, personal, and truly memorable.

My colleague and I are American professors that teach Culinary and Beverage Management in a Florida university. We were thrilled to visit this beautiful museum and learn from and spend time with Michelangelo. We especially enjoyed him sharing stories and singing beautiful Italian songs while playing traditional Italian musical instruments. There is so much history in Sicily and especially in this area. This is a place not to be missed on your next visit. Grazie!!!

I had an unbelievable experience today in this museum, which is rather than a museum an exquisite journey through Sicilian history. Michelangelo takes you on a trip telling stories about the history of anchovy fishing and the local town, showing rooms of beautiful artifacts, singing Sicilian music, and playing beautiful cinematography. It is a unique experience, and one of the best things one can do in Sicily. Thanks again to all the people involved with this museum!

Today I went to visit this museum.I’d like to tell you what feelings I went through but no words could explain what my heart felt and how greatful I am for meeting a wonderful person like Michelangelo Balistreri who caught my attention and led me through memories of my past and made me feel my mum close to me once again. Thank you so much. I really don’t know how to explain this experience but to whoever reads this message, hope you have your chance of visiting this incredible place and meeting Michelangelo. Frances

No information about its visiting open hours. Locked up tight on Sunday.

Interesting, charming.

(Translated by Google) This villa is a great discovery, remaining intact since the last inhabitants, a little outdated but that gives it its charm.

We had diner there a few days ago and it was quite good, we liked the seafood appetizer a lot! The young waiter was sweet however he was always looking to see if we had finished and it was uneasy. The restaurant wasn't even full so we didn't understand why the rush. But we recommand you to go there, they have good food, great quantity and not very expensive!

My girlfriend had her favourite Spaghetti Vongole at this place and the dish I ordered was absolutely delicious. My only minor complaint would be that the 'local' or house wine was not as nice as other restaurants we visited in Sicily. I would highly recommended eating here though!

We just had one of our best meals we have had in this while area.

Amazing !!! The clam pasta and scampi pasta are the best. Large meals. Service was great

Great place by the sea in Aspra. Simply menu with fish and seafood. Everything fresh and well cooked. Nice service. I recoment it!! For sure I will be back :) Thank you

Very nice restaurant. Food was good staff are amazing I visited with my two daughters, waitress was very helpful when we couldnt get back to ficarazzi she very kindly went out of her way to take us back in her car. Thank you again

Delicious fresh fish and scallops! Perfect location in front of the sea, and clearly a place the locals use themselves. The pasta is not high quality, but the fish and seafood is perfect.

We went for a family dinner here, the restaurant has a beautiful setting and the wine and food was lovely, the pizzas were the best we’ve had since being here. Special thank you to both Francesco and Carlo for being so kind and accommodating. Great experience, can’t recommend more.

TOP ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Just had the nicest two hours of my sicily trip. Great Service, great food, great location.

I had the pleasure of dining at Ninita last night, and the experience was absolutely amazing. From the moment we walked in, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the evening. The service was flawless—genuine, professional, and made us feel right at home. As for the food, it was nothing short of outstanding. Every dish was prepared with top-quality ingredients, full of flavor, and beautifully presented. You can truly taste the care and passion in every bite. Ninita is a true gem—an exceptional restaurant that combines atmosphere, service, and cuisine perfectly. If you're in the area, this is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

The food was great and the staff was super helpful and nice, especially our server Daniele. He was very friendly and accommodating. We especially appreciated the help and service we got to accommodate different allergies. We would definitely recommend others to go the restaurant! The scenery was also a big plus.

This was our favourite meal during our 10 night stay in Sicily and we can see why it's always fully booked. It is located in a wonderfully ambient outdoor setting and the food is incredible (everything we ate was delicious and it was clear so much passion/care had gone into putting it together). The staff are welcoming, attentive and made us feel like regulars (despite the fact we can't speak Italian!). Huge thanks to Carlo & Francesco who made our visit so memorable!

Brilliant atmosphere, super kid friendly to our daughter, best pizza's we ever ate and lovely service from Daniele.

I was there yesterday and they said they were booked. I don't think that was true because there were a lot of empty tables. Being a tourist I felt very unwelcome because of that.

Update - owner says this is a fake review, so I have added photos from our lunch there today. Would gladly give this a zero stars if possible. Food was average compared to other local meals, but the service was beyond terrible. No one was particularly accomodating, but the hostess in particular seemed to take pride in her poor service. By the looks of other reviews this seems to be a trend! Avoid this restaurant unless you’d like to have a terrible experience.

Great evening with canopia's cannoli @LaScuolaDItalia in New York! Thank you to professor D'Anna for bringing these delicious Cannoli!!!

Absolutely our favorite restaurant here in this area. Getting to know the owners Tamara & Ezio and learning about their passion for food their pride of providing & educating about Sicilian food and wines — it was such an amazing experience. A six course meal is a must have experience, we enjoyed our dining experience immensely…through the interactions and conversations.

The view is nice, food was average but not worth the price. Cocktails were terrible (had a daiquiri which was served in a tumbler on ice and thus way too watery and a dive bar quality boulevardier). The service was outrageous. The waitress seemed to really hate her job. The other one was kind of nice sometimes but absolutely shredded the fish trying to fillet it. Would not recommend.

I was fortunate enough to accidentally stop at Canopia while driving along the coastline in Sicily in search of a venue for my daughter's 18th birthday celebration. It was a Friday afternoon and the restaurant was not actually open, but we knocked on the door and were able to chat with the staff and make a booking for lunch the next day. My original intention was to limit our menus to pizzas (I had a group of 12 and wanted to be $$ conscious!), but as it turns out they only have the pizza oven operating at dinnertime. No loss for us; we instead requested two pasta dishes from which our guests could choose: - Spaghetto quadrato vongole e ricci - Calamarata al ragu’ di maialino We started with a bit of bruschetta for the table (Sicilian tomatoes could probably end armed conflicts on a global scale!) and then the selection of pastas; my only regret was not requesting a portion of each because both were absolutely wonderful. Overall the experience at Canopia was incredibly memorable. The views are unparalleled, the service was both professional and intimate and the food was elegant and delicious without breaking our budget. I can't thank the staff enough for the perfect afternoon and the very special experience for my daughter, topped off by a gratis dessert (Mousse al cioccolato fondente) and a slightly off-key rendition of Happy Birthday :).

delicious food, friendly staff and incredible views! The tataki was divine and the pizza was one of the best we’ve had in Sicily - perfect light base, juicy mozzarella and fresh tomato sauce. Yummmyyy Also the aperitivo was great too! Arancini norma is a brilliant!

I am a pizza lover. I can confirm that this restaurant makes the best pizza I have ever eaten. In addition, there is amazing service with a beautiful view of Palermo and the endless sea.

When we came at 6.30 pm (opening time in google maps) the staff told us in a very unfriendly way that they are going to open at 7 pm. We waited till then and came back to eat. At that time they sent us away again with telling us, that they changed to 8 pm. Nobody was even interested in helping us or making us feel welcome. Very bad service. Can’t rate the food as we never returned.

Super cute place with amazing pizza and very nice and friendly service!
