Loved this place. The drinks are amazing. We tried the Ficod’ india, agro veneziano , GL chardonnay - Primosic, “Gmajne” based on recommendations from a female bartender and they were great.

The small plates and starters are what you should focus your meal on. The Chef’s selection in both the cold cuts and cheeses was a good choice.
