My friends & I were there for dinner. The ambience was great & the drinks & food were really lovely & fresh. The portions were just right. Had the chilli crab ravioli. It was delicious. The only downside with the menu was that there was only 2 choices for dessert & no coffee. We expected good coffee for a. Italian restaurant. But the Tiramisu we had was really yummy. If we had to give a suggestion the only thing we found they could improve was on the service. The staff didn’t really pay much attention to us or clear the plates when we finished. Other than that the staff were courteous & friendly. I would definitely go back & recommend it to anyone looking for a good restaurant in the Rhodes area.

We love hand drip coffee and they have a nice selection of beans here. The baristas are knowledgeable and you can get the full spectrum of taste from their coffee. Bora our barista was so helpful and fun. We sat at the bar counter to watch her make our coffee and the food was good. Had a great experience.
