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.
- Burst
- — an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
- Low activity account
- — the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
- Duplicate text
- — the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.
Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

It’s actually a traditional European cafe in Miami. Fresh salads, unique artisan desserts - all of it delicious. Service is quick, and I even loved the music!

The restaurant offers a simple but pleasant dining experience. The pastas were very good in terms of taste and flavor, and the food was prepared extremely quickly after ordering. It is a self-service takeaway-style restaurant, where you pl...

Mmm loved this pizza. Came out so quick, great selection of beers, and self-searing which is nice when you’re in a pinch, solo dining, or are meeting people.

$20 for basic, very basic pasta and a sauce, bolognese apparently, served in a plastic bowl. Then the audacity to put on an automatic 18% service charge. Zero service, order at the counter, take a seat. When food is ready go collect from th...

Lasagna totally not worth it. There is no taste at all. I could even eat all of it, waste of calories.

Pizza was great, I just wish the cashier would be a bit nicer, it is my first time going to a place like this and I had questions to ask, he seemed a bit upset about me asking... Food is nice, cashier should be nicer.

The food is alright. However, there is an Italian guy at the counter that’s hella rude and is always making faces looking at peoples table’s and then gossips about them. Not everyone is Italian at Miami there’s no need to be rude about othe...
