Why Travelers Love The Kitchen
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Small, cozy place with great food. Only two people run it — one cooking and one serving. We arrived late, so many dishes were sold out, but the food was excellent once it came. Tip: come early, and make a reservation if you can. The food was amazing, we took the combo (a plate of meat and the risotto) the meat was cooked and seasoned to perfection, and the risotto was excellent. The deserts were also great. Amazing price/quality ratio. The restaurant itself is really well decorated (simple but very effective) and the playlist was great ! The chef took the time to come talk to us and the waiter was friendly, well didn't feel rushed at all. Overall really great experience We went on a Sunday evening and really enjoyed the atmosphere. It also wasn’t busy. I honestly loved the pasta and personally thought it was better than what I’ve had in the US. My mom thought that it was similar. It’s slightly hard to find but follow the lights
