A cozy spot tucked away in a corner yet the restaurant was full. The Mushroom risotto was amazing, Fresh pasta was ok-ish.

We were able to get a last minute reservation on the day we arrived which was great. The food was delicious - we shared the tomato burrata appetizer, pork and shrimp risotto. Great attentive service and ambiance!

I wish I could write a more positive review, but from all TheFork restaurants this was probably the worst experience. The reception was good and friendly but they did not ask for my name until I told them once seated. The food was mixed: we ordered two risottos but both were under spiced, but with a little salt and pepper everything was fine. The meat dishes where both under-cooked and one was even cold in the middle despite asking for the meat being well done. They took one back and recooked the dish from scratch and offered a free dessert for the unexpected waiting time (20minutes). With dessert we wanted to order some coffee but could not as the coffee machine was not functional. Once we were ready to leave and pay we were told that they do not accept any cash. As non of us had any credit card with us we insisted on the cash payment. Unfortunately a long debate started until they finally got the manager. He too started arguing but after about 15 minutes we got the much awaited signed receipt. This made the dining experience very unpleasant. Their was no mention of this policy neither on the menu, the table, by the waiter or anywhere in the reservation process with TheFork. There was only a small sign at the entrance door which was open when we got in and out and therefore not really visible unless you are looking for it. I guess the owner arguing with us was unnecessary and just made things worse. Please add this cash feature in your reservation process so other guests do not run into the same issue. Thank you kindly.

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience and appreciate your insights as they help us improve. We are glad that the reception was friendly and that we attempted to address the issues with your meal, including offering a free dessert. However, we deeply regret that the food was not up to standard and that the coffee machine was not functional. Your feedback regarding the undercooked meat and the delay is very concerning, and we will be addressing these issues with our kitchen team to prevent future occurrences. We apologize for the inconvenience caused by our cash-only policy. We understand that this was not clearly communicated, and we are working on making this policy more visible in our reservation process and on our premises to avoid similar issues for other guests. We also regret the distress caused during the payment process. It was not our intention to make the situation more difficult, and we will review our procedu
