A good overall experience, the food came a little late due to high demand, however the food was great. Live music and dance as you can see in the video, talented performer.

It’s the best restaurant I have ever been to. Food is delicious. People there are all amazing and atmosphere with singing and music is probably one of the best experiences in my life.

This place is definitely worth the hype! Be prepared to wait in line—it gets really busy because it's so popular. But once you're in, the vibe is amazing and the staff are super friendly and welcoming. The food? Absolutely perfect. Every bite was worth the wait!

Everything was great – delicious food and super friendly staff! Referring to the previous comments, I also noticed some people staying at the table much longer after finishing, which wasn’t really fair with so many guests waiting. I really appreciate that the staff cares about every customer having the chance to enjoy the restaurant’s great atmosphere and experience. Totally recommend this place!

we visited because we seen the videos of a man singing and it was WORTH IT. we got complimentary bread and olives, two of us shared refreshing mozzarella salad and tasty pizza. the atmosphere was so great, that we just kept ordering. unfortunately, from the desserts, they only had panna cotta which itself was great, but the sauce was too sweet. the later it got, the better the atmosphere, and our WAITER ARSON (hope i got the name right) convinced me to get an aperol spritz. he is a sweet guy we would have stayed longer, but there were no other desserts we could get, so unfortunately we left earlier. next day we stopped by to see if we could get some drinks to finish our trip, but there were so many people waiting and we wanted to let them experience the atmosphere too, so we just waved Arson goodbye

The restaurant reopens at 19.00, we got the around 19.45 and barely got a table. You should arrive in time, or you gonna wait a lot. The place is crowded, and there’s a long line waiting to sit down. The pizzas were good, but got a little burnt at the edge. The staff is kind and fast. The atmosphere is real italian. The toilett is a little broke down, there was no hand wipes and toilet seat. After all, it worth trying, but it need some renovation.
