What it is

The room is consistently described as cozy, stylish and well suited to a social evening with friends, and there's a spacious, sheltered terrace overlooking the district's new architecture and greenery beside Paupys Market.

The kitchen turns out well-regarded Italian classics — pizza and lasagna are the standout favourites, with pasta dishes like carbonara, salmon plates and a Caesar salad rounding out the menu.
