I had carbonara and it was very rich, tasty and the portion was really good. You may find cheaper places going fruther away from the area but it is decent oroce for its location. It is up to you. The staff is very friendly. I am giving it only 4 stars as you get dry bread on the table without asking and you get charged 3€ for it even if you don’t touch it. The water is also 4€ and there is no smaller size than what they give you. Normally, I’d leave a tip but not in this case because of this.
