"2024 Update: Let me start by saying that the place is very nice, welcoming and well kept (we had already been there a few years before), the welcome is kind and courteous, nothing to say. The food and the dishes in general are tasty and of good quality, even from this point of view we were satisfied overall. I don't give the maximum for two reasons, the quality/price ratio is really inappropriate compared to the courses and the meat served... the bill was 85 euros for two without wine, a little too expensive and I'll explain why... We take two creams which were supposed to be served with Arabic bread (we are told) but are priced separately on the bill, then three pancakes with vegetables and creams and one with minced meat, finally their main course which however must necessarily be taken by two at the cost of 18 euros CAD one (36 euros), which I expected richer, for two there were 4 skewers of meat (lamb, beef and chicken) on a bed of rice and 3 pieces of grilled vegetables, then a dessert (6 euros) and a tea (2.5 euros). Furthermore, 5 euros CAD each for a drink based on fresh mint and lemon flavored water with lots of ice, very refreshing to be honest, but really too expensive, in the end we are talking about water. Having said that, I didn't eat badly, on the contrary... but 85 euros seems excessive to me. For example, I didn't like paying 4 euros for service and not even receiving bread and I would have expected a final fee typical in ethnic places. In the end, with the fork discount we paid around 75 euros, still a little too much for me, and doing the math again it wasn't even applied correctly, in short, a bit of a bitter taste in the mouth at the end. Excellent Lebanese cuisine restaurant, slightly expensive perhaps but the quality of the raw materials and the style of the restaurant are worth a visit to discover the traditional cuisine of those areas of the world. Friendly, polite and informal service! I don't know if I would recommend the 25 euro menu because you are limited to a starter of small samples and a grilled second course... perhaps it is better to order what you want to taste, even the portions are more generous. well done!"

"Per caso ci siamo seduti nel locale protagonista di una delle puntate della serie 'Quattro Ristoranti '. Il locale è molto grande e ha disponibilità di tavoli sia all 'interno che all 'esterno ed è qui che abbiamo deciso di accomodarci. Abbiamo ordinato un po ' di tutto: il misto mediorientale, con falafel (saporiti e per nulla unti) e salsa tahina, hummus e un 'eccellente babaganous, era spettacolare; ottima la versione rivisitata della carbonara, molto vicina all 'originale anche se con petto d 'oca affumicato e senza pecorino; tutti i fritti, compreso il carciofo alla giudia, sono croccanti e per nulla unti. Puntrelle abbondanti e ben condite. Meritano anche il tortino di alici e ndivia e la coratella all 'antica. Abbiamo provato due diversi dolci: il Baklawa, fragrante e non troppo dolce e una fantastica crostata di ricotta e fichi (tornerei solo per quella). La frolla era ben cotta e friabile, la ricotta delicata e la confettura di fichi fresca e per nulla invadente. Unica piccola pecca le patate al forno, taglierà troppo spesse e quindi risultavano troppo pastose. Per tutta la sera siamo stati seguiti da Yochanan: è stato molto professionale e preciso nelle spiegazioni quando avevamo dubbi, estremamente simpatico e gentile (ci ha offerto anche una focaccia mentre aspettavamo gli antipasti). I prezzi sono medio-alti, ma in linea con la qualità dei prodotti."
