How this score works
The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

A very nice restaurant and the food was good, but the prices were steep. You can't always afford that.
4★ · 2026-08-09
Rather pricey, but everything is very tasty. The antipasti starter platter is far too small (or simply too expensive) for €17.

Delicious food and drinks. Unfortunately, the kitchen/staff was overwhelmed. After asking several times, the food finally arrived at our table over an hour later – after the appetizers had even finished!!

Guests are not welcome here. Despite having a reservation, we and other guests were made to wait outside. After almost half an hour, we left.

Best caterers ever! They delivered a dream buffet for my birthday party. A very special thank you to Giuseppe and his team, who were incredibly friendly, professional, and helpful, always ready to assist me. Thank you so much!
