Eating here is like eating in Rome at a family owned restaurant that's been in the family for generations. This was the best meal I had in Prague over the 4 days I was there. I had the best veal cutlets in lemon sauce that I ever had, anywhere. The shrimp was absolutely fabulous. The pistachio cake was one of the best I've ever had. We ate here twice in the 4 days we were in Prague. Totally out of the way in Archibald city but absolutely worth the journey. Make sure you have a reservation because they fill up every night. They are closed on Sundays even though Google thinks differently. 10/5 stars
First stop in Prague. The person was super nice and the waiter was accommodating. I’m writing this a lot later like a month later so I forget a lot of what we ordered but I remember the food was really solid. It has a very nice environment. Overall great spot.
➕ 🎨 Visually appealing dishes ➕ 🍝 Very generous portions ➕ 🤝 Acceptable in-person service ➕ ☕ Good cappuccino ➖ 📞 Rude and sarcastic tone during phone reservation ➖ ⏱️ One-hour reservation feels restrictive ➖ 🕰️ Long waiting time for mains (~25 minutes) ➖ ⭐ Food quality below expectations ➖ 🔥 Pasta served excessively hot ➖ 🦐 Rubbery seafood; oily, bland tomato sauce ➖ 🍰 Dessert poorly executed (hard dough, bland filling) Unfortunately a disappointing experience. When i called to make a reservation the worker was unpolite and sarcastic. The reservation is only for an hour, which is quite short. The staff during my visit was ok, quite, nothing special, but it took them over 25 minutes to bring the pasta after i have ordered (considering that the reservation is only an hour, this is too long in my opinion). The food looked pretty and the portion are very big. However, the quality was not as high as i expected (with all the high reviews). When the pasta was brought is was scolding hot, it was burning my mouth, so i had to wait quite a bit. The seafood was rubbery and the tomato sauce was plane and tooo oily (as a tomato seafood pasta it should be swimming in oil on the bottom). But overall it was ok pasta. The desert was also not great. The dough was like cardboard and i couldn't break it with my fork. The filling was bland. And in general it didn't have much flavor. The cappuccino was good.
Is definitely hidden. We walked in and were greeted by the reasturant owner im assuming, a lovely elderly man. It was slightly busy when we arrived and waited a few minutes before being shown downstairs. Its a really cozy family run restaurant, feels like ive just walked straight into Italy. We were served by a lovely lady named Petra ,though we didnt know Italian or czech very well she was attentive and gave us the best possible service. If we weren't leaving tomorrow I would definitely come back again! The portions are good size and its an affordable price, the food comes quite quickly and tastes amazing! Theres nothing bad i can say here. We were even given a send off offering shot
Chose this place because of its proximity to the State Opera House/Building and also open early for a pre-Opera dinner. We were directed to go downstairs by a kind gentleman. The dining room is downstairs in the cellar and was so warm and inviting! Service was great as was the food we ordered! We started with the Minestrone which arrived in a tureen and was excellent! So flavorful, we finished the entire tureen! I went for the Carbonara while my husband had the Amatriciana and both were excellent. This may be one of the best Carbonara’s I have had! Thank you to the owner and staff for a memorable Italian dinner in the wonderful city of Prague!
