The food is incredible, you can tell they are Italian. They have gluten-free pasta options although there isn't much to choose from. It comes in a VERY small quantity for the price, but it is very very delicious for a treat-meal.

We ate very well. One of us is celiac, and the pizza was delicious. They were very attentive to our tastes. Our waitress, Maria, was very attentive and helpful. My only complaint is that the tables are very close together.

A very pleasant experience. The pizzas are very good and are generous in size. They have gluten-free options for the entire menu. We were also lucky to be assisted by Calum, who speaks Spanish very well and who made sure that we were comfortable at all times.

Had minestrone to start which was lukewarm. Carbonate for main was average and the crepes for dessert which was lovely. Staff were very pleasant and the cafe itself had a comfortable feel. Toilets were spotless. Also had a wide variety of gluten free options for all courses.

I went to eat there and Irina served us very well! She explained to us what dishes I could eat due to my gluten intolerance and was super attentive at all times, they take cross contamination into account. The food was delicious and the place is very beautiful! I recommend it 100% I will return for sure!

Felt rushed from the moment I walked in ahead of the rest of the group. Had to order my gluten free option early due to being rushed and it then came completely uncooked- solid pasta. Instead of an apology, I was told I didn't order pasta but plastic. The second version was edible but I am not entirely positive it was gluten free as I vomited outside straight afterwards and still felt nauseous the next day. The rest of the group of 9 felt incredibly rushed and were also unhappy with the service. They had mixed quality food some poorly cooked pizzas and ranged from all feeling very bloated for hours to having a bad stomach and being unwell the following day. UPDATE: Reponse from owner accused my sickness to being 'refreshed' but ironically due to my chronic stomach condition I do not drink alcohol and same condition why I do not eat wheat. If they remembered me so well they would recall that I was the only member not drinking alcohol.
